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.
