Lunar New Year Schedule

In observance of the Lunar New Year, factories for all manufacturers in China will be closed or in limited production in the month February. Orders placed 2-3 weeks before Feb 1 will likely not finish production until the factories fully re-opened. As factories re-open after the holiday, production is expected to have some backlog and orders produced can take as long as mid to late March to complete. Please expect delays.

Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival, is the cornerstone of Chinese culture, representing a profound period of renewal, ancestral reverence, and family reunification. It triggers Chunyun, the world’s largest annual human migration, as hundreds of millions of workers travel from urban industrial hubs back to their ancestral hometowns. For many migrant workers, this is the only time each year they can visit their families, making the "reunion dinner" on New Year's Eve a non-negotiable spiritual and cultural obligation.

The reason factories close for so long—often two to four weeks despite the official week-long public holiday—is largely due to the logistical scale of this migration. Because transportation networks are pushed to their absolute capacity, workers must leave early and return late to secure tickets and travel vast distances across provinces. Additionally, these extended shutdowns are used by businesses as a strategic window for annual equipment maintenance and a complete reset of production lines before the new lunar cycle begins.
