Turnaround Time is the time (days) it takes to manufacture your order from the date/time your order is APPROVED ("print ready" files, PDF or Hard Copy proof approved and considered Work In Process – WIP or "No Proof – Proceed As Is" with "print ready" files considered Work In Process – WIP).
Important Note: If there are challenges with your art files being "print ready" the turn time clock will not start until it is "print ready" and in Approved WIP (Work In Process) status.
There are 3 ways to start the turnaround TIME clock ticking...
1. Submit your order with a "NO PROOF – Proceed As Is" option.
We strongly suggest that you order a proof. If there are any problems with your order, you are accepting full responsibility. Please read our Terms & Conditions for clarification.
2. Approve your PDF PROOF in My Account before 11:00 am PST for all orders (other than SAME DAY service which is 9:00 am PST and is "No Proof – Proceed As Is" only).
3. Approve your HARD COPY PROOF in My Account before 11:00 am PST for all orders (other than SAME DAY service which is 9:00 am PST is "No Proof – Proceed As Is" only).
TURNAROUND TIMES START AFTER PDF or HARD COPY PROOF APPROVAL.
Turnaround Time is calculated in BUSINESS DAYS and EXCLUDES HOLIDAYS AND WEEKENDS.
WEEKEND and HOLIDAY JOB SUBMISSIONS CALCULATE DAY 1 AS BEGINNING ON THE FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY.
Proofing Turnaround Times:
Please allow 24 hours from the date and time of art submission for PDF proofs to be made available in My Account for your final approval.
Please allow 24 hours for your Hard Copy Proof to ship.
On "NO PROOF – Proceed As Is" orders, files will be processed in order received. Orders placed using the "No Proof – Proceed As Is" option, before 11:00 am PST (for all turnaround times other than Same Day which has a 9:00 am PST cutoff time, will start the turnaround time clock on that business day). "No Proof – Proceed As Is" orders submitted that are deemed "not print ready" due to art issues beyond our control which require customer corrections to make "print ready" will not be processed until customer corrections are made to deem the art file(s) "print ready".
RESUBMITTED FILES:
On orders with Resubmitted Files, please allow 24 hours for file processing after the revised file (date and time) is submitted. There will be a $10 resubmit fee charged to your account. If you wish to receive a new proof (PDF or Hard Copy), a fee of $5 for the new PDF proof or the new Hard Copy proof fee (product specific) will also be charged. For a new hard copy proof, please contact our customer service department as the prices for hard copy proofs vary by product size and type.
