Printing and Mailing Timeframes
We understand that timely delivery is crucial for your business, and we are here to provide you with the information you need. Please find below an overview of our printing and mailing timeframes.
Printing Time:
The printing time depends on the complexity of the job, the quantity ordered, and the type of materials requested. Here is a general breakdown of our standard printing timeframes:
1. Digital Printing:
For small to medium-sized orders, digital printing typically takes 2 to 5 business days, excluding weekends and holidays. This printing method is ideal for projects with a quick turnaround.
2. Offset Printing:
For larger orders or projects that require specialized finishes, offset printing usually takes 4 to 8 business days. This includes the setup time to prepare the printing plates and complete the job.
Please note that these timeframes are estimates, and the specific duration may vary based on the size and complexity of your project. Our team will provide you with a more accurate timeline once we have reviewed your specific requirements. We may be able to RUSH process a job and deliver same or next day but it depends on the job. Please contact us to determine if we may be able to meet any RUSH printing and mailing timelines.
Mailing Time:
Once your materials are printed and ready for mailing, the time it takes for delivery depends on various factors, including the destination and the class of mail chosen. Below are typical mailing timeframes for domestic deliveries from the date of drop-off to the post office:
1. First-Class Mail:
This is the fastest mail class and is commonly used for personal correspondence and small packages. First-Class Mail within the United States can take anywhere from 1 to 5 business days.
2. Marketing Mail:
Formerly known as Standard or Bulk Mail, Marketing Mail is a cost-effective option for non-urgent deliveries. While this mail class generally takes longer, it can be an excellent choice for large-scale marketing campaigns. Delivery times for Marketing Mail can range from 2 to 9 business days.
It is important to note that these timeframes are estimates provided by the United States Postal Service (USPS) and may be subject to variations based on factors outside of our control, such as weather conditions, holidays, or unexpected delays within the postal system.
At Action Mail, we strive to provide accurate and efficient printing and mailing services to meet your business needs. If you have a specific project in mind, please provide us with further details so we can provide you with a more precise estimate tailored to your requirements.
