Now that fall is here and the holidays are near, it is the perfect time to order your custom poly bags.
As we all know, deliveries can take longer especially towards the end of the year. So, please make sure to prepare your purchase wish list early. However, the good news is that TDI’s delivery times are usually faster than most others in the plastic packaging industry, so that is a great advantage!
How to Shorten Lead Times
Generally, the longer the lead times, the more inventory you must keep on hand. Because if there is not enough product on the shelves, you might run out too early, before the next shipment arrives. And that is a problem.
On the other hand, shorter lead times require fewer products in storage. So it makes sense that smaller storage spaces cost less, right?
Following are simple ways to shorten the lead time of your order:
- Choose a local company versus a long-distance supplier. You might prevent hefty shipping fees.
- Rather than buying large quantities less often, obtain smaller volumes more frequently. Provided that option is available.
- Purchase directly from the manufacturer, or through a distributor that offers great rates and good turnaround times.
Being the small plastic extrusion company that we are, TDI Custom Packaging has the agility to provide its customers with shorter delivery times.

How to Prepare Your Custom Poly Bags Order
The simplest way is to place a repeat order with TDI Custom Packaging. In this case, you simply submit the latest purchase order indicating the quantity you need and we will take care of the rest. Provided you need the same item. Sounds simple, right?
Nevertheless, if you need a brand-new packaging bag, your best bet is to find a sample first. And if that’s not available, you can create a drawing. In addition, you will need to gather detailed specifics, such as:
