Does Expedited Shipping Speed Up Printing?

No. Paying for or requesting expedited shipping does not speed up printing / production. Expedited shipping only affects how quickly your order is delivered after printing is complete.

What We Mean by “Production”

When we reference production, we are primarily talking about printing. This includes printing your customized artwork and completing any required finishing steps needed before your order can ship.

How Printing Is Scheduled

Orders are generally printed / produced on a first‑in, first‑out basis. Orders are entered into the print queue in the order they are received to ensure consistent quality and fair processing for all customers.

We do not offer expedited or rush printing, and we are unable to move orders ahead in the printing queue upon request.

What Expedited Shipping Does

  • Speeds up transit time once your order has finished printing
  • Reduces delivery time after your order ships

What Expedited Shipping Does Not Do

  • Does not reduce printing time
  • Does not prioritize your order in the print queue
  • Does not bypass standard printing or finishing steps

Printing Time Considerations

While most orders follow standard printing timelines, some products may take longer to print, including:

  • Products with specialty finishes such as foil stamping, embossing, or laser cutting
  • Converted or pre‑manufactured card formats
  • More complex layouts or higher levels of personalization

These factors can increase printing / production time regardless of the shipping speed selected.

Planning Your Order

When placing your order, please allow time for both printing / production and shipping. Expedited shipping is helpful for faster delivery after printing, but it cannot make up for printing time.

If you have questions about printing or shipping timelines before ordering, our customer service team is happy to help.
