Question
What is the lead time for custom booklet orders?
Answer
Custom booklet orders have a standard production window of about 7 business days, measured from file approval rather than from when you place the order. Binding, folding, and trimming multiple pages takes more handling than a single flat piece, which is why booklets run a few days longer than basic products.
- The 7-day count begins after your proof is approved, so approve promptly to keep the timeline intact.
- Higher page counts, specialty binding, or add-ons like laminates can extend the schedule.
- Shipping transit days are separate and stack on top of the production window.
- If you have a hard in-hand date, work backward from it and add a buffer for approval and delivery.
