Custom apparel turnaround times.
What to expect, when the clock starts, and how to keep your order on schedule.
Quick answer
Allow 2–3 weeks from artwork approval and payment, or 3–4 weeks in peak periods or for complex jobs, plus courier time. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote and we will confirm whether we can meet it.
When the clock starts
Your order is booked into production once you approve the artwork and pay, or confirm on approved business account terms.
What affects turnaround
- Garment stock availability for your styles, colours and sizes
- Changes to artwork after the first mockup
- The decoration method and how complex the job is
- Peak periods
- Delivery destination and courier time
Rush orders
Often, yes. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote and we confirm whether we can meet it.

Fully custom garments made offshore take around 3–6 months, including sampling and transit.
