What is the typical turnaround time for die-cut products?

Production turnaround for die-cut products is shown on each die-cut product page once you select your options. Jobs that need a custom die require extra time for the die to be created before printing begins.

• A custom die adds a tooling step, so build in extra lead time; creating the physical die typically takes at least 2 days before cutting can start.
• Design complexity and current production volume also affect scheduling, since intricate shapes need more setup and handling.
• Rush timelines may not be possible when a custom die is required; as a rule of thumb, a Thursday pickup or delivery usually means ordering by Tuesday.
• Standard shapes that reuse an existing die move faster than fully custom cuts.
• Thinner stocks around 16 to 18pt, or alternative materials, can sometimes allow a faster turnaround, so ask about options.
• Production time is separate from shipping transit.
• Contact support with your shape, stock, quantity, and deadline to confirm timing for your specific die-cut order.
