Question
How long are the lead times for custom orders with special finishes like embossing?
Answer
Lead times for special finishes vary with the finish and the complexity of the job. Anything like embossing adds steps beyond standard printing, such as die production, so it runs longer than a plain job of the same size.
- Finish drives the timeline: embossing, foil, and similar effects each add production steps.
- Complexity matters: larger runs and intricate dies take more time.
- Check the product page: when a turnaround is shown at checkout, it reflects the current estimate.
For a firm estimate on a finish-heavy job, send your specifications to support and they will confirm the lead time for your exact order.
