Your holiday packaging has two deadlines, and one of them is this month.
Custom printed bags run 4 to 7 weeks in production, then delivery. Count back from Black Friday on 27 November and the order needs to be in by the end of September. For Christmas, mid October.
Everything else is a regular order, and most orders ship in 1 to 3 days. Plain bags, tissue, boxes, ribbon, hangers and price tags go in one order in the first two weeks of November. One order, one delivery, nothing new in December.
We put the whole timeline in one post, month by month, with a table at the top if you only have a minute: eddies.com/blogs/tips-for-retailers/q4-order-timeline-for-retailers
Custom printed packaging quotes usually come back within 24 to 48 hours. The quote form is linked from the post.
