Question
What is the lead time for perfect-bound books?
Answer
Perfect-bound books print on a standard 5 business day production turnaround, since binding adds steps beyond printing the pages. Faster paid options go down to Next Day.
- Production days count from approval: an approval before 3:00 PM EST counts that day as day one, and a later approval starts the next business day.
- The window covers printing, binding and trimming, not shipping transit.
- Page count and quantity can influence the schedule.
- Options can change, so confirm the latest details on the product page.
| Turnaround | Cost |
|---|---|
| Standard, 5 business days | Base rate |
| 4, 3 or 2 business days | Added cost |
| Next Day | Added cost |
