Custom Apparel Decoration Lead Times

At FastStitch, we understand that efficient turnaround is crucial for your custom apparel needs. Whether you’re ordering for a sports team, corporate branding, or promotional events, knowing our decoration lead times helps you plan effectively. We specialize in high-quality screen printing, embroidery, and other custom apparel decoration methods, ensuring vibrant, durable results for your custom t-shirts, branded merchandise, and promotional products.

Standard 2-Week Lead Time from Artwork Approval

Our standard lead time for custom decorated apparel is 2 weeks from the date of artwork approval. This timeframe allows us to maintain our commitment to superior quality and meticulous attention to detail on every order.

Artwork approval is a pivotal step in our production timeline. Once you’ve reviewed and approved your digital proof, our production team immediately initiates the decoration process. Prompt artwork approval is key to expediting your order completion.

The Importance of Our Lead Time

Precise custom apparel decoration requires careful preparation, from creating screens and embroidery files to applying inks or stitching designs. Adhering to our full lead time ensures your designs are crisp, colors are vibrant, and the finished product maintains its quality wash after wash.

Rushing production can compromise quality, lead to errors, or cause unforeseen delays. Our standard 2-week lead time guarantees your custom apparel order is completed accurately and to the highest standards the first time.

How to Ensure Timely Delivery

To keep your custom apparel order on track and ensure it meets our standard lead times:

• Review proofs carefully: Double-check logo placement, colors, sizing, and spelling for accuracy.

• Approve promptly: Your quick approval is essential for initiating production without delay.
