How long does production take?
Production time depends on the selected product and option. The product page and confirmed quote state the applicable business-day estimate and when it begins. Print-ready artwork, payment, and requested proof revisions can affect the ready date. Shipping or delivery transit is additional. Rush work requires confirmation of current capacity.
When the clock starts
Print-as-supplied orders move to production after the technical file check. Orders requesting review or changes move to production after you approve the proof. Send print-ready files and, if you requested a proof, review it promptly. Each requested revision creates a new proof and restarts the review step.
Typical timelines
| Service level | Turnaround |
|---|---|
| Standard business cards | Use the current business-day estimate on the product page; the required artwork step affects the ready date |
| NFC business cards | Standard production is estimated at 7–10 business days after order placement. Incomplete payment or print-ready artwork, or requested proof revisions, can extend the ready date; shipping or delivery transit is additional. |
| Custom laser work | Use the current business-day estimate on the product page; the required artwork step affects the ready date |
| Saddle-stitched and coil-bound booklets | Standard production is estimated at 7–10 business days after order placement. Incomplete payment or print-ready artwork, or requested proof revisions, can extend the ready date; shipping or delivery transit is additional. |
| Other products | Use the product-specific range and confirmed quote; materials and finishing may change the estimate |
| Rush | Faster — subject to current capacity; ask before ordering |
| Local pickup (Beaverton) | By appointment after we confirm it is ready — no shipping transit time |
