Custom Label Turnaround & Production Time

Custom clothing labels from Peach Labels typically arrive 2–3 weeks after you order in the USA: artwork review within 24 hours, 8–10 business days of production, then 1–3 business days of tracked shipping. Reorders of an approved design dispatch in 5–7 business days. These times are estimates, not guarantees. There is no paid rush tier — the fastest route is clean vector artwork and expedited shipping at checkout.

The complete order timeline

Phase by phase

  • Order placed — submit your configuration and artwork
  • Artwork review — our team checks every file within 24 hours
  • Production — 8–10 business days from artwork clearance
  • Dispatch — packed and collected; tracking notification sent
  • Shipping — 1–3 business days (USA); about 1–2 weeks (Canada)

Total from order to delivery: typically 2–3 weeks in the USA. Plan at least 4 weeks for product launches. Adding a photo proof adds 2–4 business days for the approval step. If you reject the proof, we remake that article from scratch, which normally adds about 7 calendar days.

What affects production speed

  • Order quantity — larger orders require more weaving time
  • Label complexity — more thread colors and finer detail mean more loom setup time
  • Fold type — end fold and Manhattan fold add finishing steps beyond weaving
  • Peak season and holidays — busy periods and Chinese New Year can add extra days

For large or complex orders with firm deadlines, contact us before ordering to confirm feasibility.

How to minimize your lead time

Submit clean artwork

The single most impactful thing you can do. Clean, production-ready artwork goes straight into the production queue after review. Each revision round adds 48+ hours before production can begin.

Use vector files

AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF files eliminate the most common artwork issues. Low-resolution PNGs or JPEGs frequently require a revision round. See the artwork guidelines for exact requirements.

Reorder previously approved artwork

Previously approved artwork doesn't need a full review. Proofing is abbreviated when the specification hasn't changed, and production can begin faster. Open a trade account for permanent artwork storage and fast reorders.

Plan for your destination

We ship to the United States and Canada. USA delivery is 1–3 business days after dispatch; Canada takes about 1–2 weeks including customs. Add a few extra days for customs on Canadian orders near a deadline. See the shipping guide for details.

Planning for a launch or restock

Product launch timing

Allow at least 4 weeks from order placement to delivery for a new design going into launch. This covers artwork review, production, shipping, and a buffer for any revision or shipping variability. Place your order before your garments arrive at the factory — labels and garments rarely need to arrive at exactly the same moment.

Restocking existing labels

If you are reordering a previously approved label, the timeline is shorter — reorders dispatch in 5–7 business days for standard quantities, because artwork review is fast-tracked and proofing is abbreviated. See the reorder guide. For ongoing programs, consider a trade account which keeps your artwork on file for instant reordering and priority production scheduling.

How to get the fastest possible turnaround
  • Submit a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF) — not a PNG or screenshot
  • Follow the artwork guidelines to avoid revision rounds before production
  • Contact us before ordering if you have a firm deadline — we confirm feasibility upfront
  • Reorder with a trade account for fast-tracked artwork review and production scheduling
FAQ

Production time, answered

Typically 2–3 weeks from order to delivery in the USA: artwork review within 24 hours, 8–10 business days of production from artwork clearance, then 1–3 business days of tracked shipping from Salt Lake City. Reorders of an approved design are faster — they dispatch in 5–7 business days for standard quantities up to 1,000 pieces. The same 8–10 business day production window applies to woven labels, woven patches, printed care labels and hang tags. These times are estimates, not guarantees, and peak season or Chinese New Year can add extra days.
The full timeline is typically 2–3 weeks from order placement to delivery, depending on your location. This includes artwork review (within 24 hours of ordering), production (8–10 business days from artwork clearance), and shipping (1–3 business days for the USA, about 1–2 weeks for Canada). The fastest outcomes happen when you submit clean, production-ready artwork.
Our team reviews every artwork file within 24 hours of your order. If anything needs attention, we reach out before production begins. If your artwork looks good, production starts automatically — no waiting on your end. Submitting clean, production-ready artwork is the most effective way to get production started quickly.
We do not offer rush production — every order goes through the same 8–10 business day production process so quality stays consistent. You can choose expedited shipping at checkout to shorten delivery once the order leaves production. If you are working to a specific deadline, contact us before placing your order and we will tell you honestly whether your date is achievable. Clean, production-ready artwork is the most effective way to keep the timeline short, because each artwork revision adds days before production begins.
Reorders of approved designs dispatch within 5–7 business days for standard quantities (up to 1,000 pieces), because the production-ready file is already on record and the artwork review and proofing are abbreviated. Larger reorders are scheduled individually. If your label specification has not changed since your last order, you will not need to go through a full new proofing cycle.
