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.
