To borrow a well-worn phrase, the answer is \u201c<span class=\"Normal__Char\">Fast and Furious\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0 Consider that 50% of the voting public will see their candidate win and 50% will have lost. In either case the momentum of the election process as well as other events could cause consumers to lose focus on the upcoming holidays, until at least after Thanksgiving. If that happens, we all will be slammed for the roughly 4 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"Normal\"><strong><span class=\"Normal__Char\">Check Your List and Check it Twice<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"Normal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-18743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Nashville-Wraps-Fall-Holiday-Catalog-Cover.jpg\" alt=\"2016 Nashville Wraps Fall &#038; Holiday Catalog Cover\" width=\"215\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Nashville-Wraps-Fall-Holiday-Catalog-Cover.jpg 338w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Nashville-Wraps-Fall-Holiday-Catalog-Cover-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Nashville-Wraps-Fall-Holiday-Catalog-Cover-19x24.jpg 19w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Nashville-Wraps-Fall-Holiday-Catalog-Cover-28x36.jpg 28w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-Nashville-Wraps-Fall-Holiday-Catalog-Cover-38x48.jpg 38w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px\" \/><\/a>In the retail packaging world, there is a large demand for products in November and December.\u00a0So large, in fact, that neither domestic nor import manufacturers and converters can keep up with it. You will have to rely on rock-solid distributors like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/\">Nashville Wraps<\/a> who have done the homework, invested the capital, and built up large inventories to ship you goods when you need them\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0yes,\u00a0even in December!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\">With over 10,000 skus, it is a daunting task to keep them all in stock, but we will still run 98% or better on complete shipments in December. That said, the safest bet is to order early, even if you order and specify a later ship date.
