Cutoff & Rush Policy (12 Noon EST)
Cutoff & Rush Policy (12 Noon EST)
We move fast — but speed requires clean files and quick approvals. This page explains our daily cutoff, rush options, and what can delay an order.
Daily Same-Day Cutoff
MON–FRI- Cutoff time: 12:00 PM (Noon) Eastern Time, Monday–Friday (excluding major holidays).
- Eligible orders: Orders placed before 12:00 PM EST that meet the requirements below.
- What “same-day” means: Produced the same business day and shipped or made ready for pickup based on the service selected at checkout.
Same-Day Eligibility Requirements
PRINT-READYTo qualify for same-day production, your order must be print-ready and approved.
- Artwork is print-ready: Correct size, high quality (recommended 300 DPI), transparent PNG preferred (or other accepted format).
- No edits needed: No redesign, cleanup, background removal, or layout corrections.
- Accurate sizing: The file matches the size/quantity selected.
- Order is paid: Payment completed with no verification holds.
- Fast approvals: If we flag an issue and you replace/approve, it must happen quickly to stay in the production window.
Rush Options (After 12 Noon)
CAPACITYOrders submitted after the cutoff may still be produced same-day when capacity allows. Rush availability varies by workload and order complexity.
- Rush processing: If offered at checkout, selecting rush moves your order ahead in our queue.
- Capacity-based: Rush is not guaranteed daily — it depends on order volume and production load.
- Deadline planning: If your deadline is hard, confirm timing before ordering whenever possible.
What Can Delay an Order
COMMON ISSUES- Low-resolution or blurry files that won’t print cleanly.
- Wrong dimensions (file doesn’t match the size ordered).
- Extra whitespace/transparent padding causing unexpected sizing.
- Color expectations (screen vs print differences; neon/fluorescent limitations).
- Complex layouts needing manual intervention or confirmation.
- Payment verification holds or incomplete checkout.
- High volume days (cutoff capacity can fill early).
Local Pickup Timing
ATL PICKUP- If you select local pickup, you’ll receive a notification when your order is ready.
- Same-day pickup is available for eligible orders when production is completed before pickup closing time.
- Bring your order confirmation when you arrive for pickup.
Our Quality & Approval Standard
APPROVALWe print what you upload. We may contact you if we notice an issue that could affect print quality, but the customer is responsible for final approval.
- Submitting an order confirms your file is print-ready and sized correctly.
- If you request changes after production begins, the order may be delayed and may require a reprint.
- Color can vary by screen, lighting, and material — we aim for accurate output, but exact matches are not guaranteed.

PLAN AHEADIf you have a hard cutoff (event, client pickup, shoot day, etc.), confirm timing before ordering so we can align rush availability and the best service option.
