That all depends on the size of the job and if your file is print ready. We specialize in meeting tight deadlines and manage our print queue on a priority basis. The best thing to do is tell us when you need it, and we can let you know if it's possible. A week would be a long time for most jobs and a day is a rush.

|
What does untrimmed mean? "Untrimmed" means that the excess paper on the edges of the product will have to be trimmed off by hand before the product is hung. This is typically a precise process and will require a steady hand to do so. When certain products are manufactured, the print/pattern will not bleed off the paper like most wallpapers. All flocked, screen printed and digitally printed patterns will come untrimmed so please be aware when you place your order. All flocked and screen printed patterns are hand made therefore natural variations in the product will occur which is why trimming is needed. |
