How Long Does Production Take?

Updated June 2026 • 3-minute read

Every print at Artbeat Studios is handcrafted to order.
Unlike mass-production facilities, we do not pull products from inventory shelves. Each order is produced specifically for your artwork, custom size, and finishing selections.
Because every print is made to order, production times vary by product type and finishing options.

Quick Answer

Estimated production times are:

Framed Prints

Frames require additional finishing time.
Please allow:
An additional 3–4 business days
for framed orders.

What Counts as a Business Day?

Production times are measured in:
Business Days
This means:

• Monday through Friday count as production days
• Weekends do not count
• Holidays do not count

For example, an order placed on Friday may not begin processing until the next business day.

Why Does Production Take Time?

Every print is custom made specifically for your order.
This includes:

• Preparing your artwork
• Custom cutting materials
• Printing your image
• Finishing and assembly
• Quality inspection
• Packaging

We inspect every print for craftsmanship, color accuracy, and overall quality before it leaves our facility. If a print does not meet our standards, it is remade before shipment.

Does Every Order Take the Same Amount of Time?

Not always.
Different products require different manufacturing processes.
For example:

• HD Metal Prints require dye sublimation and finishing
• HD Acrylic Prints involve additional mounting and assembly steps
• Framed products require additional fabrication time

As a result, production times vary by product type.

Does Production Time Include Shipping?

No.
Production time and shipping time are separate.
Production time refers to the time required to create your order.
Shipping time begins after your order has been completed and shipped.
Most ground shipments arrive within approximately 1–5 business days depending on your location.

Can I Rush My Order?

In many cases, yes.
If you need your artwork by a specific date, please contact us before placing your order.
Our team can review available production and shipping options and recommend the best solution for your timeline.

Common Misconceptions

Production time and shipping time are the same thing.

No.
Production time refers to creating your print.
Shipping time begins after production is complete.

Custom sizes take longer.

Not usually.
Every order we produce is custom made, whether you select a standard size or a custom size.

Weekends count toward production time.

No.
Production estimates are provided in business days.

Our Recommendation

If you have a deadline, event, or installation date, we recommend placing your order as early as possible.
While we work hard to meet our estimated turnaround times, production estimates are not guaranteed and can vary depending on order volume, product type, and seasonal demand.
