As the end of the year approaches, we at Universal Plastic want to ensure that your business remains on track, even during the holiday season. With industry-leading turnaround times and a strong commitment to meeting your needs, we’re here to help you plan for 2026. Our goal is to ensure you have the necessary inventory of plain bags and films before we close for the holidays. To avoid delays and keep your projects on schedule, we encourage you to take note of the important dates and updates below.
Important Dates to Know
If you need plastic bags, films, or other stock early next year, now is the time to submit your request. Please take note of our holiday office closures & shipping cut-off dates.
- Holiday Office Closure: December 24th through January 4th; our offices and manufacturing operations will remain closed during this time.
- Last Order Date for 2025: Any orders received after December 10th will ship during the first week of January.
How to Avoid Delays & Plan Efficiently
Here are a few tips to ensure smooth sailing through the holiday season and into the new year:
- Check Your Year-End Inventory: Take stock of what you’ll need for early 2026 and place orders for 8x10 bags, films, or other packaging materials as soon as possible.
- Place Orders Early: This is the simplest and most effective way to avoid any holiday delays. Ordering by December 10th will allow us to fulfill your needs before we close.
Why Act Now?
Here’s why planning early is more important than ever:
- Guaranteed Production Slot: Our early customers receive priority scheduling, helping to avoid potential delays in the first quarter of the year.
- Consistent Lead Times: Placing your order now allows us to maintain our standard two-week turnaround time for plain bags and films, avoiding any slower processing times that may come with holiday backlogs.
- Secured Delivery Dates: We can guarantee that your order will be shipped on time, even during our busiest periods, as long as it’s placed before our cut-off date.
