How fast can I get custom stickers?
| Proof | Within 1 business day |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 5-7 business days |
| Rush production | 3-4 business days (+25%) |
| Express production | 1-2 business days (+50%) |
| Custom banners | 5-7 standard; 2-3 rush; no express |
| Transit | 1-5 business days |
The real timeline
- Order placed. Same day.
- Proof emailed. Within one business day, often same day if the file arrives before 2 PM ET.
- You approve. This is the step that varies most. The production clock does not start until you do.
- Production. 5 to 7 business days standard, 3 to 4 rush, or 1 to 2 express.
- Transit. Ground is 1 to 5 business days from South Carolina, with the east coast usually 1 to 2.
Production and shipping are separate clocks. If the date is tight, choose express production and an expedited shipping method; neither one automatically includes the other.
Need it for a specific date?
Put the in-hands date in the order notes. We will tell you honestly before charging rush whether it is achievable, and we will not take rush money for a date we cannot hit.
What slows orders down
- Slow proof approval, by far the biggest factor
- Low-resolution or missing artwork requiring back and forth
- Custom multi-design sheet cut paths, which add a day
- Specialty materials that are not on the floor that week
Business days
Production runs Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM ET, excluding US holidays. Orders placed Friday afternoon proof on Monday.
Why Stickerine can offer a real express option
Printing, lamination and contour cutting stay inside our US facilities. Orders run on 11-color Epson presses, every sticker is laminated, and Summa cutters finish the contour to ±0.1 mm. Express shortens the queue; it does not remove the proof, laminate or quality-control steps.
