Chinese New Year is one of the biggest and most celebrated times of the year. This public holiday is a big deal not only to mainland China but also in neighboring countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, North Korea, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Brunei.

Holidays in China for 2024. Please note that these are the dates for ODM Group companies in the region.
For most factory workers, this is the only time of the year when they see their families.

Consequently, it causes them to leave way before the holiday officially begins.

One of the busiest seasons of the year, the holiday comes with industry issues that can impact businesses. Here are some of them:
“Failing to plan is planning to fail.” Don’t let your business be way off the mark this coming CNY. Aside from the Chinese New Year factory dates, here are a few suggestions that will keep you ahead:
Planning for the upcoming public holiday this early can bring you surprising advantages and save you from the predicament.
Some things that you can plan out include but are not limited to:
Communicating effectively and considering your supplier’s/ manufacturer’s opinion can help you understand the situation clearly and plan better.
It’s a good idea to talk with them openly about potential problems that may occur and develop a trusting relationship with them.
Done right, you can work together to find ways to effectively overcome those obstacles.
If you’re able to speculate your inventory needs for the coming months, then make sure that you will be over-prepared for the coming holiday.
It’s best to guarantee that you don’t run out of the important stuff and that the seasonal ones arrive in time for their associated holiday.
Plan orders in advance so you can prevent encountering any shipment delay or issue with your receiving end.
One of the unavoidable facts about CNY is that employees simply don’t come back to work.
They find this season as a way to switch careers, thus affecting you and your business.
Due to these circumstances, you have to implement strict and keen quality issues coming from your manufacturer.
It makes the manufacturing inspection plan a top priority.
Some countries in Asia, including Vietnam, also take time off to celebrate the new year. But unlike in China, none of them takes long vacations.
You may check with your other suppliers if you could ask for their assistance while your connections in China are in the shutdown period. In that case, you can still continue your business operation during CNY.

Tet Nguyen Dan is the most important and widely celebrated public festival of the year in Vietnam. It is the occasion for Vietnamese to express their respects to ancestors as well as welcome the Lunar New Year with their friends and family members.
Tet falls on the first night of the new moon in the first month of the Lunar Calendar, which in the Gregorian calendar usually takes place between the last week of January and the third week of February.
For the year 2023, Tet will also fall on Sunday, January 22nd. Though as there is a one-hour time difference between Vietnam and China, this can sometimes cause alternate calculations of when the new moon occurs.
Since the majority of our staff are now headquartered in Vietnam, we would also like you to be aware of this holiday. It is important to take note that most of the country will close down for Tet.
The local transport services are stretched to the limit and international flights will be very busy catering to Vietnamese people returning home from overseas for Tet. This means that it will also be a critical time for retailers and manufacturers, thus you should also plan ahead of time if you are sourcing products from the country.
Here’s an insightful blog about our recent visit to one of the manufacturing factories in Vietnam. In this trip down, we see the significance of industrial factory tours and quality control checks to more readily oversee product creation and client satisfaction.
