Product Details
Chinese New Year is one of the biggest gifting moments in Asia, and the humble red packet sits at the very center of it. Every year, brands scramble to find red packets that actually feel special — not just the same cheap template everyone else is using. We've been making them for 37 years, and we know exactly what separates the ones people keep from the ones that end up in the trash.
The 2026 zodiac brings fresh creative energy, and we've built our production line to handle everything from classic gold-on-red to fully custom illustrated designs. Here's what you need to know if you're ordering for CNY.
Key Features
Zodiac Illustration Ready: We print full CMYK zodiac artwork — snake, dragon, horse — whatever the year calls for. Bring your own design or use our in-house template library.
Premium Gold Foil Stamping: Real metallic gold foil, not cheap imitation. It catches the light and gives that luxury first impression.
Custom Die-Cut Shapes: Want a window cut-out? A fold-over flap? A custom silhouette? Our steel-rule dies handle it all.
Low MOQ for Startups: 500 pcs minimum. E-commerce sellers and small retailers can test designs without massive upfront commitment.
Multi-Finish Options: Combine gold foil with spot UV, embossing, or velvet lamination for that premium unboxing feel.
Fast Turnaround: 10-15 working days from artwork approval. We know CNY is date-critical.

1. Design & Printing Options
For CNY red packets, the design is everything. We recommend starting with a bold zodiac illustration as the hero element, surrounded by traditional motifs like clouds, coins, or peonies. Gold foil on a deep red base is the classic, but we also do matte red with spot UV accents for a more modern look.
Color accuracy matters. We print to Pantone (PMS) for the red base so it stays consistent across the entire run. The gold foil is a separate plate, so it registers cleanly without smudging.
2. Usage Scenes
✅ Corporate CNY Gifting: Branded red packets for employees, clients, and partners. Add your company logo subtly — it becomes a marketing tool that people actually want to keep.
✅ Retail & E-commerce: Stock up for seasonal sales. Custom red packets sell at a premium during the weeks leading up to Lunar New Year.
✅ Wedding Red Packets: Double happiness motifs, gold foil borders. Popular for pre-wedding distributions.
✅ Kids' Red Packets: Brighter colors, cartoon zodiac characters, smaller sizes for school-age recipients.
3. Factory & Qualification Advantages
37 years of printing experience means we've refined every step — from paper selection to foil registration to quality inspection. ISO 9001 certified, FSC certified for sustainable paper sourcing. We ship globally and handle customs documentation.
FAQs
Can I print my company logo on CNY red packets?
Yes. Most corporate clients add a small logo on the back or bottom corner. We recommend keeping it subtle — the zodiac art should be the hero. We'll do a digital proof so you can see the exact placement before production.
What's the difference between gold foil and gold ink?
Huge difference. Gold foil is a metallic film heat-pressed onto the paper — it has real shine and depth. Gold ink is just metallic ink, which looks flat and fades quickly. For CNY, foil is worth the extra cost.
What sizes do you offer?
Standard is 90×170mm, but we also do 90×190mm (long envelope), 110×220mm (large), and custom sizes. Just send us your spec.
How early should I order for Chinese New Year?
We recommend ordering 6-8 weeks before CNY. Our production lead time is 10-15 working days, but CNY season is our busiest period. Early orders lock in your slot and avoid rush fees.
Do you offer samples?
Yes. We can produce a digital dummy (size check) in 2 days, or a fully finished sample with your exact materials and finishes in 5-7 days. Highly recommended before committing to the full run.
What's your MOQ?
500 pcs. We know startups and small retailers need to test designs. Ordering 1,000+ drops your per-unit cost significantly.
Can you print the zodiac character for 2026?
Absolutely. 2026 is the Year of the Horse. We have template illustrations, or you can bring your own zodiac artwork. We'll optimize it for print resolution and foil application.
Do you handle international shipping?
Yes. We ship globally via air (5-7 days) and sea freight (25-35 days). We handle customs documentation and can quote DDP if needed.
