How long is production lead time and what affects delivery?

Updated on 2026-05-21

Standard production lead time is typically around 15-25 days after sample confirmation and deposit. If you need custom color matching, private label printing, or specific packing rules, lead time may be adjusted based on workload and material preparation.

Delivery schedule is also affected by shipping method. Sea freight is cost-effective for large orders but needs longer transit time. Air shipment is faster but higher in cost. We support EXW, FOB, CIF, and DDP depending on your preference.

To avoid delay, we recommend confirming artwork, specifications, and carton marking as early as possible. Our team will provide a production timeline so you can plan launch and inventory safely.
