Question
Do printing finishes affect how fast my order ships?
Answer
Some finishes add production time and some do not, so it helps to know which bucket your finish falls into before you plan around a deadline.
- Everyday finishes like gloss and matte lamination usually add no extra production time on most products.
- Specialty finishing such as foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV can add roughly 1 to 2 business days.
- The exact impact depends on the product and the quantity you order.
- Shipping transit time itself is unaffected by the finish. Only production may shift.
- The finish you pick is factored into the ship-by estimate shown at checkout.
