Order in Alumide before it is too late
March 11, 2010
You have until the 14th to order your models in Alumide. We were very happy with your enthusiasm for the material! However, we have sad news; we cannot offer the material permanently at this moment. At a later date, we want to bring it back, though we cannot yet say when. The reason for that is we have been able to consistently fill an entire machine with the Alumide material orders. The turnaround time between White, Strong & Flexible and Alumide is also a bit longer than we would have liked. This means that the machine we have been using for Alumide would be better served in pushing your White, Strong & Flexible orders out the door quicker. In order to keep offering the lowest possible prices, optimal machine utilization is very important to us. We have already started looking at various ways we can optimize the Alumide production and we hope that we will be able to offer it once again in a few months.
