A delayed label shipment can halt your entire production line, costing time and money. We understand urgency. Here’s a transparent look at our standard and expedited processes, so you can plan with confidence—even under tight deadlines.
Our Standard Process (The Quality Baseline)
For most orders, we recommend this balanced approach to ensure flawless results:
- Days 1-3: Artwork review, quotation, and digital proofing.
- Days 4-7: Physical sample (“strike-off”) production and approval. (Crucial step!)
- Days 8-20: Bulk production with in-line quality control.
- Day 21: Final inspection, packaging, and shipping arrangement.
- + Shipping Time: Express (3-7 days) or Sea Freight (20-35 days).
- Total (with express shipping): ~25-30 days from order confirmation.
Our Expedited “Fast-Track” Service
When time is critical, our structured fast-track streamlines every step:
- Priority Proofing: We turn around digital proofs within 24 hours of receiving clear artwork and complete specs.
- Concurrent Sampling: Where design allows, we can sometimes produce the approval sample concurrently with early bulk material preparation, saving 2-3 days.
- Dedicated Production Line: Your order is scheduled on a dedicated loom with prioritized QC checks.
- Guaranteed Express Shipping: Included and coordinated in advance.
Typical Fast-Track Timeline: ~15-18 days from order to departure, plus express shipping.
