Chinese New Year Printing

Fifteen days of celebration from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, and the busiest fortnight of the year for every restaurant and takeaway that marks it. Banquet set menus, table cards and window print for the dining room, red-and-gold cards from a single copy, stickers and tags for the gifts, and the banners, tickets and badges for the parade and the community hall — printed on our own presses in London, priced online, no quotes to wait for.

Chinese New Year 2027 is expected on Saturday 6 February 2027 (Follows the lunar calendar — falls in late January or February).

Restaurants, takeaways and the reunion dinner

The reunion dinner fills every table, and the set menu sells the fortnight that follows. Banquet menus, table cards, window print and the flyer that goes out with every takeaway order.

Cards, gift tags and stickers

The red-and-gold card for family and for clients, and the small printed things that go with gift-giving — stickers to seal the red envelopes, tags for hampers and boxes (the stickers and tags, not the envelopes themselves).

Chinatown, supermarkets and the shop floor

The fortnight starts in the window. Banners, boards and floor graphics for the supermarket aisle, the market stall and the shopfront on the parade route.

Parades, lion dances and community events

The parade, the lion dance, the temple fair and the school assembly — tickets, badges and the programme for fifteen days of events that end with the Lantern Festival.

From Idea to Doorstep in Three Steps

1. Design it or send it

Personalise a card, menu or place card in your browser, or upload your own artwork for posters, boards and signage. The price is on screen before you pay.

2. We print and finish

Digital press for cards and menus, flatbed for boards and cut vinyl, binding and foil in-house — nothing outsourced, so nothing waits on someone else's timetable.

3. Delivered before the day

Same-day courier across London when you order by 2.30pm, next working day UK-wide, or standard delivery to UK mainland addresses, free on orders over £25 — every option priced at checkout.

Chinese New Year Printing FAQs

What is the last date I can order for delivery before Chinese New Year?

For 2027: order, with your artwork approved, by 2.30pm on Fri 5 Feb for same-day courier delivery in London; by 2.30pm on Thu 4 Feb for next-working-day delivery anywhere in the UK; and by Fri 29 Jan for standard delivery (3-5 working days), free on orders over £25, to UK mainland addresses. The dates are worked out from the print room's working days, so a weekend New Year is already allowed for. Foil or mounting needs a few extra days — ask for a quote and we give you a firm date.

Can you print artwork in Chinese characters?

Yes. The presses print whatever is in the artwork you supply — Chinese, English or both. Send a print-ready PDF with the fonts embedded so the characters print exactly as designed.

Can I order just one New Year card?

Yes. Personalised cards from the online designer start at a single card, priced at one flat rate per card, so one card costs no more per card than fifty. It is printed on thick silk card, folded and delivered ready to write; envelopes are not included by default. The gallery carries Chinese New Year card designs, with matching layouts for flyers, postcards, menus, place cards and tent cards, each finished with your own photo and wishes.

Do you sell red envelopes?

No — we do not print or stock red envelopes (hongbao) themselves. What we do print are the stickers that seal them, the swing tags for hampers and gift boxes, and the cards and postcards that go with the gift.

Is gold foil available for the cards and tags?

Gold and silver foil is applied in-house on card runs, gift tags and vouchers — no die, so small quantities are affordable. Foil is not part of the same-day route; quote it and we give you a firm date.

Can I mix designs in one order?

Yes. Add each design to your basket as its own line and check out once — a banquet menu, a takeaway flyer and the window poster are grouped and delivered together.
