Question

How fast can I get Book Printing done?

Answer

Book turnaround depends mainly on page count and binding type, with proof approval as the starting gun. Most orders move on a predictable timeline once the file is approved, and rush options exist when the deadline is tight.

  • Turnaround per product: each book's price calculator shows its turnaround options and the Estimated Completion Day and Estimated Delivery Day. Perfect bound and spiral coil books default to 5 business days and saddle-stitched booklets to 7, with faster options down to 1.
  • What affects it: higher page counts and more involved binding take a little longer.
  • The clock starts at approval: the sooner you approve the proof, the sooner production begins.
  • Rush options: available when you need faster delivery.

Approving your proof promptly is the single biggest thing you control in the timeline, so review it as soon as it arrives.

Turnaround counts business days from approval: approve before 3:00 PM EST and that day counts as day one. It covers printing only; shipping transit is added on top.
