E-commerce Holiday Preparation Guide

Shoppers usually begin their Christmas shopping at the start of December. This is why we suggest you order your packaging during the first days of November. This will give us enough time to produce your packaging and for you to be ready for the season. Due to the increased production volumes for this season, there are some factors that might increase turnaround time. History has shown us that the biggest delays are due to delivery issues. Increased demand for courier services means that shipping times may blow out. Unfortunately, this is something that is out of our hands. To avoid any unexpected surprises or issues we suggest completing your packaging order ahead of time.

We also know that having your packaging looking it’s absolute best is key during this time. We recommend using our new Print Expert Check at checkout so that one of our packaging specialists double-checks your design and tweaks it to perfection. The Print Expert Check service will be available to you at checkout.

It all depends on the product you choose and how customised you would like your to design to be. 

Products with a higher minimum order quantity like Magnetic and Rigid Boxes require you to work with us to develop and approve the project. Therefore, they will take longer to get to production.

Packhelp has remained fully operational throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our manufacturing process has not been disturbed and we will try to process and manufacture your orders as always. But bare in mind that the high season will most likely bring in delays due to higher demand. In addition, be mindful that as the situation unfolds, disruptions may happen at any moment. If this were to happen, we would inform you as fast as possible.

To avoid any issues on your Holiday packaging, we recommend ordering earlier to avoid delays. We also recommend planning ahead and ordering in bulk so you don’t face the issue of having to restock during busier dates.

Most likely. We do everything we possibly can to complete all orders within 21 days. But bear in mind that volumes increase during the holiday season quite significantly. Our factories operate 24/7 to make sure your products are produced within the given time frame. Unfortunately, it is very likely that freight transporter will push back delivery dates.

That’s why preparation is key! Ordering your packaging ahead of time will help you avoid any issues with delays and ensure you receive your order on time for the holidays.

Don’t rush and make sure you start planning ahead. Start by creating the holiday design that you would like to showcase on your packaging. This part is key so that it gives you enough time to make any changes and for us to be sure it is properly formatted for manufacturing. Start planning your holiday packaging today, and keep up with a timeline of pending tasks to make sure everything is covered ahead of time.

In order to check the status of your parcel, you will need to have your order number. Your order number is sent to you via email once your order is ready to be shipped. In the same email, you will also find a link to check the status of your parcel directly on the courier company tracker. If you lost the email or never got it, don’t worry! You can contact us at any time and we will gladly help you find the order number and even track your parcel.

Yes! This is possible if you help us out. Once you decide to place an order, a member of our team will get in contact with you to verify your design and product specifications. When this happens, you must give us as many details as possible about your product and how you are planning to sell your product to better understand your expectations. This will allow us to be accommodating and better serve your needs. Remember, talk to us and we will be sure to help you out!
