FAQ

How long will an overseas printing job take from start to finish?

Press proofs typically will take 15-21 days to arrive for your approval. Once we receive your approval of the press proofs, the printing, binding, finishing, hands-on labor, and packaging can all be done within 4 weeks. Ocean freight will take approximately 14 days and rush delivery by air will take 3-5 days. Customs clearance and delivery to specified addresses take an extra 4-6 days. On many occasions partial air-shipments have been included into rush projects. Fulfillment of an initial shipment would include either shipping from our overseas factories via air freight or through DHL.

Is there a minimum order for overseas printing?

500 hardcover books or 5,000 paperback books. Usually jobs that require more hands-on labor (spiral & double wire-o binding, custom cutting & finishing, etc...) save the most with overseas printing due to inexpensive labor costs; regardless of the quantities.
