Don’t Let Chinese New Year Delay Your 2027 Packaging Orders

When is Chinese New Year 2027?

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is one of the biggest holidays on the global manufacturing calendar. In 2027, it runs from Saturday, February 6 to Saturday, February 20.

Chinese New Year may last 15 days, but factory downtime doesn’t always follow the calendar. Schedules vary across our global manufacturing network, so we’re sharing the key order cutoff dates to keep your packaging moving.

Your Chinese New Year 2027 Packaging Prep Checklist

Before the holiday rush hits:

• Review your Q1 inventory needs and upcoming launches.
• Place custom packaging orders early to secure production capacity.
• Finalize artwork and approvals ASAP so production isn’t held up.
• Get Sales, Marketing, and Ops aligned on the same cutoff dates.
• Ask about alternate production options if your timeline is tight. We can be flexible!

And be sure your timeline some breathing room so your order doesn’t miss a beat.

The Bottom Line

• Chinese New Year 2027 runs from Feb 6-20, 2026.

• If your packaging needs to ship before Chinese New Year, your real deadline is weeks earlier. Check the chart above for exact deadlines by packaging type.

• If you need more time on your next Child-Resistant pouch order, we can shift to U.S. suppliers and sidestep CNY delays. Just let us know!
