Why 8-12 weeks lead time matters
Custom-printed boxes with your kedai logo need 6-8 weeks production minimum including artwork approval rounds. Stock items go fast 4-6 weeks before festival as everyone realizes simultaneously. Shipping delays during festive season (especially around CNY where China factory shutdown is 2-3 weeks for their own new year) compound the timing pressure massively. Operators who pre-order 12 weeks ahead lock in stock and pricing — last-minute orders face 20-40% markup on rush production plus high risk of "sorry out of stock" replies from suppliers. opens festival pre-order windows roughly 14 weeks before each major festival with early-bird pricing tiers.
