Chinese New Year falls on 6 February 2027. Like most factories in China, ITALOMIX closes for the holiday, and production stops for several weeks. If you want faucets produced before the break, the order has to be confirmed before our cut-off date.
These are our factory's own dates for the 2027 holiday.

Plan backwards from 25 December
To confirm your order by 25 December, the quotation and samples need to be finished first. Our standard lead times:
| Step | Time |
|---|---|
| Quotation reply | Within 12 hours |
| Sample production | About 7 days |
| Bulk production after order confirmation | Typically 25–35 days, depending on quantity, finish and packaging |
| MOQ | 60 pcs per model |
| Payment | T/T |
Our recommendation: send your RFQ by early December. That leaves time for the quotation, about 7 days of sample production, sample delivery and your approval before the 25 December cut-off. For OEM orders with your own logo or packaging, start earlier, because artwork and packaging also need your approval.
Large orders and custom finishes take longer within the 25–35 day range. We confirm the production schedule and ship date for your order in writing with the quotation.
If you order after 25 December
Orders confirmed after the cut-off go into the first production slots after we reopen:
| Order confirmed | Production starts | Bulk production ready (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| 26 December 2026 – 19 February 2027 | 20 February 2027 | About 25–35 days after production starts |
Confirming an order during the holiday still helps: your models, finishes and packaging are settled, so production can start as soon as the factory reopens instead of waiting for approvals.
Practical tips for importers
- Confirm finishes and packaging early. Changes after confirmation can move your order to a later production slot.
- Book freight early. Shipping space before and after Chinese New Year is often in demand; check timings with your freight forwarder. Our quotations are normally FOB Ningbo.
- Order a mixed container. Mixed-model orders are accepted (MOQ 60 pcs per model), so you can cover several product types in one shipment before the break. Approximate container loading by product type is in our MOQ, lead time & cost guide.
- Check stock levels for March. Goods ordered after 25 December will usually not be ready before the second half of March 2027, so plan your pre-holiday order to cover that gap.
