Holiday shipping delays can be reduced by early cardboard boxes planning according to Ucanpack
Oct 5, 2026
Ucanpack, a Winder, Georgia packaging manufacturer, released a holiday-season readiness guide advising retailers on cardboard boxes sizing, quantities, and order timing to help avoid peak-season shipping delays.
Winder, United States, October 5, 2026 -- WINDER, GA — Ucanpack, a Georgia-based packaging manufacturer and distributor, has released a holiday-season readiness guide for retailers. The guide outlines how businesses can plan cardboard box sizes, quantities, and order timing ahead of the peak shipping period. Its stated purpose is to help retailers reduce the packaging shortfalls and fulfillment slowdowns that commonly appear in the weeks before the holidays.
Retail shipping volume rises sharply each fall, and packaging supply is one of several points where bottlenecks can form. The National Retail Federation, a U.S. retail trade association, has regularly reported that November and December account for a substantial share of annual retail sales, and online orders make up a growing portion of that activity. Retailers that wait until demand peaks to purchase cardboard boxes may face stock constraints, longer lead times, and rushed decisions about box dimensions.
The guide begins with box sizing. It recommends that retailers review their top-selling products and match each one to the smallest box that provides adequate protection, since oversized cartons can increase void fill use and handling time. It also describes how corrugated flute types differ, noting that A-flute offers more cushioning for fragile items, B-flute is a common standard, C-flute supports stacking strength, and E-flute is thinner and suited to small items and printing.
The second part of the guide addresses quantities and timing. It advises retailers to estimate holiday demand using prior-year order data, add a reserve for unexpected volume, and place orders well before the peak. For stock items, Ucanpack reports that orders ship within three business days, while custom printed products add three days after artwork approval. The guide suggests building these lead times into purchasing calendars, along with the time needed for freight and warehouse receiving.
“Packaging is often the last item retailers plan for, yet it can be the first thing to slow down fulfillment when volume spikes,” said a Press Room spokesperson at Ucanpack. “The guide is meant to give retailers a practical sequence to follow, from choosing box sizes to scheduling orders, so that supplies are in place before the busiest weeks begin.”

Stop calling Southeast Asia an emerging market in mobile. It is where the behaviour gets invented
In November, ASEAN leaders are scheduled to sign the Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA), the first region-wide pact written specifically for the digital economy. Negotiators closed the text in Manila in May, and ASEAN’s own statement puts the prize at up to US$2 trillion in digital economy value by 2030 if the agreement is implemented […] The post Stop calling Southeast Asia an emerging market in mobile.

Why Southeast Asia’s AI coding race is moving from models to infrastructure
For the past three years, much of the AI debate inside Southeast Asia’s engineering teams has centred on a familiar question: which model is best? Founders, CTOs and developers compared GPT-4, Claude, Codex, Cursor and open-weight models on code completion, documentation, debugging and speed. For many startups, the first wave of AI developer adoption meant […] The post Why Southeast Asia’s AI coding race is moving from models to infrastructure appeared first on e27.
Bitcoin jumped 1.81% to US$86,350.24. Is this a real breakout or a short squeeze?
Bitcoin rose 1.81 per cent to US$86,350.24 in 24 hours, slightly outperforming the broader market, which gained 1.45 per cent. The move looks modest on the surface. Underneath, two forces drove the gain. Renewed spot ETF demand and a softer macro backdrop gave the largest cryptocurrency a firmer floor. A short squeeze then amplified the […] The post Bitcoin jumped 1.81% to US$86,350.24. Is this a real breakout or a short squeeze? appeared first on e27.
Change fatigue is an organisational design problem, not a resilience problem
In my work with organisations, I often hear people describe barely adjusting to one restructure before the next one begins. The remark is usually made in passing, which tells you something on its own. Change has become familiar enough that people know how to keep functioning through it, even while they are worn out by […] The post Change fatigue is an organisational design problem, not a resilience problem appeared first on e27.
Sanders backs Pope Leo’s call to protect human art from AI
Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday backed Pope Lepo XIV’s call to prioritize art made by humans over that made by artificial intelligence (AI). “Pope Leo is right.

Temu took the world by storm – but has the shopping app lost its thunder?
In February 2023, the budget shopping platform Temu announced itself on the world stage in the brashest way possible: becoming one of the youngest ever brands to buy a Super Bowl advertising spot. “Download the Temu app and shop like a billionaire,” a voice proclaimed in the 30-second commercial, as a woman danced on screen and ordered a series of outlandishly cheap items: from a US$8.99 dress to a US$4.99 wig. The commercial – which aired twice during the game, costing Temu an estimated US$14...

How to protect your accounts from AI-powered attacks
A wave of account takeover attacks involving artificial intelligence (AI) against major banks is testing their defenses and putting personal cybersecurity in the spotlight. Shinhan Bank disclosed Thursday that the information of about 25,000 people had been leaked. A day later, KB Kookmin Bank and Hana Bank confirmed breaches affecting 119 and 89 people, respectively. Woori Bank and NH NongHyup Bank also reported suspected hacking attempts. The incidents have raised suspicions that AI was used to automate the attacks. Consumers have little control over breaches within companies. But the steps they take afterward can go a long way toward preventing exposed login details from putting their other financial and shopping accounts at risk. Security experts say two measures can substantially reduce the risk of account compromise — using a unique password for each service and enabling multifactor authentication. A key danger following a leak is credential stuffing. This involves using automated software to test usernames and passwords stolen from one platform across numerous others, from banki
