Time In Production / Production Time

Our turnaround time on the website product page refers solely to “Time in Production” or “Production Time”. For every order we receive, we generate digital proof for the artwork submitted. This Digital Proof is shared with you for your approval. Production time starts after the Digital artwork proof is approved.

Once production is complete and the shipping label generated, it may take up to one business day for orders to be picked up by shipping carriers (UPS, USPS, FedEx) and shipped out. Shipping Time is based on the “Shipping Method” selected for your order when placing the order.
