When production starts
For apparel orders: Standard production usually takes 2–5 business days after proof approval, depending on the order. This approval step confirms spelling, placement, and the requested decoration before the order enters production.
After apparel production, most orders ship within 1–2 business days, depending on stock availability. Carrier shipping transit is separate from production and starts after dispatch: UPS Ground is approximately 3–7 business days, UPS 2nd Day Air 2–3 business days, and UPS Next Day Air 1–2 business days, when available at checkout.
What can affect timing
- Item availability and whether the selected products are in stock.
- Order quantity and decoration method.
- Artwork clarity, requested changes, and proof approval timing.
- The shipping method selected after production is complete.
Same-day and next-day apparel production
Same-day and next-day production may be available for eligible apparel orders, depending on the selected product, stock, artwork, and schedule. UPS 2nd Day Air does not automatically shorten production.
