12 Weeks Until Christmas. 🎄 It’s Time to Get Holiday Orders Moving.
Twelve weeks sounds like plenty of time. Until you do the math!
A typical 4-color-process order can require 10–12+ business days in production after proof approval. Add a week or more for transit, plus the Thanksgiving holiday, and the calendar starts disappearing quickly.
For a December 18 in-hands date, artwork and a PO may need to be on our desk well before November 16—not in December.
And that’s assuming everything goes according to plan.
Q4 is the busiest time of year for promotional products. Inventory gets tighter. Production schedules fill up. Shipping windows get shorter. And last-minute orders can mean settling for a second-choice product, rushing the printing process, or paying more for expedited shipping.
The clients who have the smoothest holiday campaigns aren’t necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets or the fanciest products.
They’re the ones who start early.
If you have holiday giveaways, client gifts, employee appreciation, events, or end-of-year campaigns coming up, let’s get your order on the calendar today.
Starting now helps you:
-Secure the products you actually want
-Protect print quality with adequate production time
-Build in time for proofs and approvals
-Avoid unnecessary rush charges
-Give your order enough time to ship before the holidays
🎄 Christmas may be 12 weeks away—but your production deadline is much closer.
Send us your holiday project today, and let’s make sure it arrives on time and looks the way you intended.
