Production Specs

Standard Production Time: Lead times and rush charges are based upon the receipt of final art approval and complete order instructions – not when an order is submitted. Art that is not output-ready usually requires additional lead time. Always allow time to acquire art and proof approval. Production begins the business day following receipt of PO and approved, output-ready art. Art that is not output-ready requires additional lead time. Production lead times are based on orders up to 5,000 pieces. For larger quantities, call for production times.
