Question

How long does it take to produce and deliver plastic ID cards or credentials?

Answer

Production time for plastic identification cards and credentials is not a single fixed number. It is calculated from the exact options you select, and the resulting turnaround is shown on the product page and again at checkout once your configuration is set. The clock starts when your order is authorized for production.

  • Where to see it: the estimated production time updates on the product page as you choose specs, and confirms at checkout.
  • Start point: counting begins when the order is approved and released to production, not when it is placed.
  • Delivery on top: add carrier transit time to the production estimate for your final in-hand date.
  • Need it confirmed: support can verify the exact timeline for your specific card order.

Check the estimate shown for your selected options, then contact support if you need the delivery date pinned down for a deadline.
