Singapore – August 28, 2026 — Merchize expanded its fulfillment and production capacity to more than 150,000 products per day, up from 100,000, in a staged facility and operations build intended to address seasonal order surges during the September through December peak.
The capacity increase follows a multi-year program of analysis and capital investment that examined order patterns from prior peak seasons and identified scaling shortfalls that can disrupt seller operations. Merchize framed the work as preventative capacity building to reduce the risk of delayed tracking updates, late shipments and the need for refunds when volumes spike overnight. “We don’t wait until customers run into problems to go looking for answers,” says Nguyen Ngoc Tuan, Merchize’s CEO.
At the core of the expansion is the company’s garment facility in Vietnam, which has been expanded to 8,000 square meters and now operates two shifts daily with 500 workers at production machines. The facility includes 150 newly installed sewing machines and ten laser-cutting stations that cut fabric to pattern prior to heat pressing and printing. Three quilting and embroidery programming machines run complex stitch patterns that were previously produced by hand. An adjacent 3,000-square-meter home decor facility was built to handle picture frames and decorative pieces on a dedicated production line.
Production capacity in the United States has also been increased, with production space nearly doubled to almost 5,000 square meters to reduce transit distance to the company’s largest market. The overall system is configured to flex with demand: the Vietnam workforce can scale from 500 to 1,000 workers and move from two shifts to three when order volumes require. Average production turnaround across the network is reported at one to three business days per order, while the packing line, where automated equipment and workers operate in tandem, can handle up to 20,000 products per day.
Merchize reported that transit time from the packing line to buyers in the United States can be as little as six business days and as short as three business days for orders shipped domestically within the United States. The company positioned those timing metrics as operational distinctions that affect the final order cutoff window during the holiday season and the ability of sellers to accept late-cycle orders.
The company’s catalog spans nearly 1,000 products across apparel, home decor, accessories and embroidered goods. Merchize has integrated a commerce platform application, a 3D mockup generator, an AI library and an AI mapping suggestion tool into the ordering process to enable sellers to create mockups, test designs and submit production requests without leaving the platform. During the busiest weeks of the holiday period, a dedicated support team remains on duty around the clock to address operational issues as they arise.
Based on historical patterns from past peak seasons, Merchize estimates that the 2026 winter holiday season will see a final order cutoff between December 6 and December 10, with the last shipment leaving the warehouse around December 13; the company stated that the official 2026 cutoff will be confirmed as the season approaches. Merchize emphasized that no fulfillment system can entirely eliminate the risk that a sudden and unforecasted demand spike will outpace capacity, and that the workforce contingency plan remains a reserve designed to respond to unplanned surges.
