Shipping & Lead Times
Production and freight timelines.
Stock orders ship within 1–2 business days. Custom orders ship approximately 4–6 weeks after written artwork approval. Free shipping on orders $100+ to the continental United States.
Stock orders
In-stock items are picked, packed, and shipped within 1–2 business days of order confirmation. Carrier options and estimated transit times are shown at checkout based on your delivery address. We ship from US warehouses.
Stock availability is shown on each product page. If a product is backordered, an estimated restock date will be shown where available.
Custom orders
Custom orders — hardware or packaging with brand-specific printing, colors, or finishes — have a production lead time of approximately 4–6 weeks. The clock starts on written artwork approval, not on order placement.
Artwork revisions, missing files, or delayed sign-off extend the production timeline. We send a pre-production proof before committing to print. Approval must be provided in writing before production begins.
If you have a firm in-hands date, contact us before placing your custom order. Production slots are capacity-constrained and we cannot guarantee rush timelines after order placement.
