What is the lead time for lenticular prints?

3D lenticular products take longer to produce than standard print products because of the layered animation and precision finishing involved. As a general guide, plan for roughly 20 to 22 business days from order confirmation and proof approval, not counting shipping transit time. The current estimate is shown on each specific lenticular product page.

• Check the page: the turnaround on the exact lenticular product you want is the reliable figure.
• When the clock starts: production time begins after order confirmation and proof approval, so submitting print-ready files quickly keeps you on schedule.
• Why it takes longer: interlacing the frames, aligning them to the lens, and curing the bond all add production time you will not see on ordinary cards or postcards.
• Bigger jobs: larger formats and multi-image animation effects can push toward the upper end of the range.
• Expedited options: the sales team can discuss faster availability where possible.
• Plan ahead: add your shipping method's transit days on top of the production window, and allow extra buffer for event-driven deadlines.
