COVID-19 manufacturing freight

Over 2,000 factories received our latest survey, with hundreds of factories reporting so far. Results will be updated throughout the day as more factories report.

US manufacturing

2 factories so far have reported closures or severely limited availability. Both are independent manufacturers in the New York area. This could extended lead times by 3-4 weeks or more. We recommend that companies relying on New York packaging manufacturing contact us to set up load balancing in Lumi to prepare for any further shut downs.

Over 99% of factories across the US are still operating at full capacity, however there is still uncertainty about further shutdowns. 

China manufacturing

  • Factories continue to make their gradual recovery with 1-2 week delays still common.
  • Air freight shortage has persisted, so we recommend ocean freight whenever possible.
