How Long Does Production and Delivery Take for Custom Trade Show Kits?

1. Production time — custom made after artwork approval

We begin production once you have reviewed and approved your artwork proof. Typical production time after approval is:

• Production: 1–3 business days for most custom trade show kits.

Tip: Using our design templates or approving proofs quickly shortens the overall timeline.

2. Shipping time — depends on destination

Once your kit leaves our facility it will travel via trusted carriers. Estimated transit times are:

• Continental U.S.: 3–7 business days (standard air).
• International: 4–10 business days, depending on customs and local carriers.

Carrier delays (weather, customs holds, peak shipping periods) can affect delivery times — we’ll provide tracking so you can monitor progress.

3. Rush & expedited options

If you’re up against a tight deadline, we offer expedited production and shipping options. These are available on request and may incur additional fees. Contact our team with your event date and we’ll recommend the fastest solution.

4. Practical planning recommendation

To be safe, we recommend ordering with a buffer:

• For U.S. events: order at least 10–14 days before your event.
• For international events: allow extra time for customs — order earlier than 14 days when possible.

5. Artwork approval — the timeline starter

Your timeline effectively begins when you approve the artwork proof. To avoid delays:

• Review proof emails promptly.
• Provide concise, consolidated feedback.
• If needed, use our design services to finalize artwork faster.
