Turnaround times vary based on the product, quantity, finishing requirements, material availability, and current production schedule.

For individual or small construction plan orders, print-ready files submitted before noon can often be completed by the end of the same business day.

Most standard large-format printing and graphics orders are typically completed within 2–5 business days. High-volume, custom, or more complex projects may require 5–10+ business days, depending on materials, finishing requirements, and production scheduling.

These timeframes apply to production and assume print-ready artwork. Projects requiring file preparation, graphic design, or layout work may require additional lead time before production begins.

For signage and graphics projects requiring professional installation, installation work is typically scheduled 1–2 weeks out, although availability may be sooner or more limited depending on the current installation schedule, project scope, and site requirements. Some projects may also require a site survey before production or installation to verify measurements, surfaces, access, and installation conditions.

If your project has a specific event, opening, or completion date, let us know when requesting your quote. Our team will work with you to coordinate production and installation and may be able to accommodate tighter deadlines when scheduling allows.

Rush production may be available for an additional fee, depending on the project and current production capacity. Projects requiring special-order or non-stock materials may require additional lead time based on supplier availability.

Our team can provide a more accurate production and installation timeline once we review the specific requirements of your project.

Yes. We produce a wide range of specification books, bound documents, and commercial marketing materials in-house for businesses, project teams, and organizations across many industries.

Binding options include coil binding, saddle stitching, and GBC comb binding, making it easy to produce everything from construction specification books and manuals to booklets and presentation materials.

We also print brochures, flyers, business cards, postcards, labels, and other custom marketing pieces, with a variety of paper stocks, coatings, and finishing options available.

Whether you need a short-run project or a larger commercial print order, our team can help with printing, binding, finishing, and final production.

For most print, signage, graphics, books, and construction plan projects, a high-quality PDF at the correct finished size is the preferred file format.

We can also work with AI, EPS, SVG, TIFF, JPG, PNG, PSD, InDesign, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, DWG, DXF, and other specialty file types. Vector files are preferred for logos, illustrations, and graphics that may need to be enlarged.

For photos and other raster images, send the highest-resolution original file available. While 300 PPI at final size is ideal for many printed pieces, large-format graphics can often be produced successfully at lower resolutions depending on the final size and viewing distance.

If editable artwork, file preparation, or design changes are required, additional setup time or charges may apply.

Not sure whether your file is ready? Send us what you have. Our team can review it and let you know if anything needs to be adjusted before production.
