If you source or manufacture your packaging from overseas, then you know the chaos Chinese New Year (CNY) can bring to your production timelines. But don’t stress – we’ve got your back! From key planning tips to essential deadlines, we’re here to help you dodge delays like a pro. Here's a quick overview: 📅 Timeline Awareness: CNY typically falls between late January and mid-February. Production facilities in China often close for 2–3 weeks, which can cause significant delays if you’re not prepared. 🚀 Pre-Holiday Rush: Manufacturers experience a surge in orders leading up to CNY. Placing your orders well in advance is crucial to avoid the bottleneck and will help ensure a timely delivery. 🧧 Post-Holiday Catch-Up: After the holiday, factories need time to ramp up operations again. Build a buffer into your timeline to account for this catch-up period. 💬 Strategic Planning: Communicate early and clearly with your suppliers. Outline your production needs and timelines to ensure everyone is on the same page. 📈 Pro Tip: Partner with experts who understand the CNY impact and can help you navigate potential pitfalls. Their insights can be invaluable in maintaining smooth operations. Don’t let CNY disruptions throw you off course – check out our blog and we’ll help ensure your Q1 launch stays on track. 👉 Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/gz9v_3VU #Packaging #ChineseNewYear #ProductionPlanning #Manufacturing #Logistics #Zenpack

It’s easy for us to share our packaging trend predictions for 2024. But they’re more than predictions because we’re actively working to set these precedents ourselves—at least some of them. Sustainability continues to take center stage with plastic-free solutions, while interactive and differentiated materials will redefine consumer experiences. 1) More sustainable practices in packaging that won't just be about reducing our impact on the environment, but also being considerate of policy, politics, regional conflicts, and disasters. 2) Materials usage to be more tactile to enhance differentiation and not just for sustainability purposes. 3) Moving from connected packaging to interactive packaging and incorporating AI/AR/VR advancements to become more interactive, personalized, and given more marketing value. 4) Packaging will take on one of the extremes: • useful like the product • minimal to the point of elimination • extremely premium so that the consumer wants to keep it forever What do you think?
