When should a retailer order to be on shelf for spring?
Short answer
Work backwards from the season using published lead times. A new mould programme takes about 10 to 14 weeks from order to goods landed and an existing-tooling order about 7 to 9 weeks, plus sea transit inside that figure.
In detail
For a northern spring shelf date, confirm the order in the fourth quarter of the previous year, which is also when tackle factories book peak-season capacity.
