Ordering and lead times
How long an order actually takes, what makes it faster, and how to plan backwards from a fixed date.
Which one answers your question?
- “What size do I need?”
- Start with the sizes guide. If you are holding the card already, measure it and work from the insert size — not the pouch.
- “Will my artwork work?”
- The artwork guide covers file formats, bleed and the strip along the top edge that the lanyard slot goes through.
- “Will it arrive in time?”
- The lead-times guide explains how to plan backwards from a fixed date, including transit.
- “Just the short answer, please.”
- The FAQs handle minimum order, turnaround, pricing and custom sizes in a line or two each.
- “Who are we?”
- A supplier that does only this — about the business. These guides exist because the ambiguity in this category causes most of the reprints.

If you know what you need, send the specification. If you still do not, send it anyway and say what is uncertain.
