Years in industry(20)
Our seasonal glassware programs cover every themed retail window. Christmas and winter holiday designs — the largest seasonal glassware category — include festive motifs, winter scenes, holiday color systems, and gift-ready Christmas glassware in mugs, wine glasses, tumblers, and candle vessels. Beyond Christmas, we produce Halloween and autumn glassware (spooky, harvest, and fall-color designs), Valentine's and romantic glassware (hearts, couple themes, blush and red palettes), spring and Easter collections (florals, pastels, garden themes), and summer designs (tropical, beach, and outdoor-entertaining motifs). Decoration uses full-color printing and decals for detailed seasonal artwork, with laser etching, embossing, and metallic finishes available for premium holiday gift glassware.
Seasonal glassware can be produced across any of our product categories — drinkware (holiday mugs and tumblers), bar glassware (festive wine and cocktail glasses), and candle and fragrance vessels (seasonal scented-candle vessels) — and pairs naturally with our gift sets and boxes for holiday gift programs. Seasonal retail is calendar-driven, so timing is critical: for Q4 holiday programs (the largest window), lock designs and place orders by mid-year (June–July) to allow for sampling, production, and shipping ahead of the retail season; other seasonal windows need 4–6 months' lead time. Many retail clients plan a full year's seasonal SKU calendar in a single annual brief. MOQ starts at 500 pieces per design (300 for laser-etched); samples ship in 7 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far ahead should we plan seasonal and holiday glassware?
For Q4 holiday retail — Christmas and winter holiday glassware, the largest seasonal window — lock your designs and place production orders by mid-year (June–July). This allows time for sampling and approval, production, and international shipping so stock arrives ahead of the retail selling season (typically October onward). For other seasonal windows (Halloween, Valentine's, spring, summer), plan 4–6 months ahead of the retail date. Seasonal dates are immovable, so early planning protects against peak-period shipping and customs delays. We can also help map a full-year seasonal SKU calendar in one annual planning brief.
Can you create custom themed designs or match our seasonal artwork?
Yes. We produce custom seasonal designs from your artwork (AI, PDF, EPS, or high-resolution image files) and can also develop themed designs from a brief or mood board if you don't have finished artwork. Full-color printing and ceramic decals reproduce detailed seasonal artwork — festive scenes, patterns, characters, and color systems — while laser etching and embossing handle subtler premium holiday glassware. We match seasonal color palettes, integrate your brand into the seasonal design, and produce coordinated multi-design collections for a cohesive seasonal range.
Which seasons and holidays do you cover?
We cover the full retail calendar: Christmas and winter holidays (the largest category), Halloween and autumn/harvest, Valentine's Day and romantic occasions, spring and Easter, and summer and outdoor-entertaining themes. We also produce designs for other calendar moments — New Year's, St. Patrick's Day, Mother's and Father's Day, and regional holidays on request. Most clients focus their seasonal programs on Q4 holiday plus one or two other key windows relevant to their market.
What's the MOQ and lead time for seasonal glassware?
MOQ starts at 500 pieces per design for printed and most decorated seasonal glassware, or 300 pieces for laser-etched designs. Multi-design seasonal collections share production efficiently — each design is a separate SKU at the 500-piece minimum, but all share base glassware. Lead time runs 25–35 days for most decoration; samples ship in 7 days. For Q4 programs, the binding constraint isn't production time but the full timeline to retail — plan by mid-year as above.
