Production
How long is the production lead time?
Standard mass production takes 25–45 days from sample approval and deposit receipt, depending on quantity and material supply. In peak season (September to December) it takes around 40–60 days. The exact date is confirmed in your quote.
Before mass production: concept drawings or 3D renderings within 2 business days, and physical sample confirmation in 5–10 business days. Existing styles skip the design stage and go straight to production after sample approval.
Lead time depends on order quantity (see MOQ), decoration such as laser engraving, screen printing, hot stamping or UV printing, packaging requirements and season. For Christmas-season shipments, confirm your order 8–10 weeks in advance.
Every order is tracked stage by stage. Need a firm date? The quote states the confirmed lead time.
