Understanding Our Printing Lead Times & Delivery Schedule
Knowing exactly when your print order will be ready is crucial for your planning. To ensure a smooth experience, we have outlined our production timelines, printing options, and collection processes below.
1. The Simple Timeline Process
Our basic processing timeline is straightforward. It is calculated as: Order Day + Production Day(s) + Ready Day
2. Normal vs. Urgent Printing
We offer two main tiers of production speeds to suit your deadlines:
Normal Printing (5–7 Working Days): Once your order is received before the designated cut-off time, it enters our standard 5 to 7-day printing process. After this period, it will be marked ready for collection or dispatched for delivery.
Urgent Printing (24-Hour Turnaround): For example, if you place an order on Monday before the cut-off, it will be printed on Tuesday (Day 1) and ready for collection or delivery on Wednesday.
Note: Urgent printing is subject to availability and task queue. The 24-hour turnaround begins only after your final artwork is confirmed.
3. How to Calculate Your Process Days
When estimating your completion date, please keep the following rules in mind:
Excluded Days: We do not count the order date, the delivery date, Saturdays, Sundays, or Public Holidays as processing days.
Cut-Off Times: Cut-off times dictate when an order is officially counted for that day. Please note that these can vary based on your specific order type. * For instance, if a product has a 1 PM cut-off and you submit or resolve a pending order after 1 PM, it counts as the next day’s order (adding 1 extra working day).
Other services may have a 3 PM or 6 PM cut-off. Always check your specific product’s requirements!
4. Collecting Your Order & Checking Status
Please don’t head down to our facility just yet! You need to ensure your item is fully ready.
How to Check Your Order Status:
Log in to your account on our website.
Click on the Profile Icon.
Select ‘Order Status’.
When to Collect:
Only come down to collect when the status bar reaches the orange box labeled: ‘Available for Collection’.
Example Collection Window: If your order is marked ready, collection times are typically between 6 PM – 12 AM (Check your specific order details for exact days).
You will also receive an automated email notification once your order is ready for collection or has been dispatched for delivery.
5. Important Reminders
Rest Days: Sundays and Public Holidays are heavily strictly observed. We are closed on public holidays, and these do not count toward your production timeline.
Need it fast? We cannot speed up the normal 5-7 day timeline once it is set. If you are in a rush, please ensure you place an Urgent Order right from the start!
