Rush Production

Short Summary

This article explains what rush production means and how to request help when you have a deadline.

Quick Answer

Rush production is a production-speed option, not a shipping method. If a rush production fee is available for your order, it may help move the order through production faster, but you still need to choose the right shipping method.

Before You Begin

Contact us before ordering if you have a hard deadline.
Rush production availability can depend on the order, product, queue, and file

readiness.

Rush production does not guarantee carrier delivery speed.

Policy Details

Rush production is a tiered production fee that may be added from the cart when available. It applies to production handling inside The Stackhouse.

Shipping is separate. After production is complete, carrier transit depends on the shipping method selected at checkout and the destination.

Rush requests are easiest to review before an order is placed. Once an order is already in production, timing may be harder to change.

Common Examples

You need prints by a specific date

Contact support before placing the order. Include the date needed, product type, quantity, size, and destination ZIP code.

You selected express shipping

Express shipping can shorten carrier transit time, but it does not automatically shorten production time.

Your file needs changes

File problems can slow production. Submit final, print-ready files whenever possible if timing matters.
