Yes. Rush is available for a fee, and it shortens production. You choose it in your cart, where the production speed question shows the days for each speed. How much faster Rush is depends on the product. How fast the package travels is a separate choice you make at checkout. A real deadline usually needs both, and it needs you to answer your proof quickly.
Rush production is guaranteed. Depending on the product, it comes as guaranteed 1 Day or 2 Day production. On roll labels, Rush is 2 business days, guaranteed, and there's no 1 Day Rush. Standard production times are typical, not guaranteed.
Where the time goes
| Step | Standard timing | How to shorten it |
|---|---|---|
| Your proof | Arrives within 1 business day | Send print-ready artwork, so the first proof is the last |
| Your approval | Up to you | Approve as soon as the proof arrives |
| Production | Stickers and sheet labels ship 3 to 5 business days after approval, and roll labels 5 to 7. Trade stickers take 4 business days of production | Rush, for a fee, chosen in your cart |
| Transit | Most orders arrive 1 to 5 business days after shipping | Expedited or overnight shipping |
Business days are Monday to Friday, and we're closed on U.S. holidays.
The clock starts when you approve
Production days are counted from your approval, not from checkout. Every hour a proof waits for an answer is added to your delivery date, Rush or not. Tick "Also text me my proof link" in your cart, so the proof doesn't sit unseen in an inbox.
On sticker pages for White and High-Tack vinyl, you can approve the optional "Live Sticker Proof" before checkout. That skips the emailed proof step and saves up to 1 day. See how to use the Live Sticker Proof.
On a sticker you've ordered before, an exact reorder skips the proof round, even at a new quantity. On a first order, choosing "No Proof Needed" in your cart also skips it, but only do that if you're sure of your file. See whether you need a proof.
Tell us the date before you order
If you're working to an event or a launch, email team@stickymade.com or use live chat before you order, and tell us the date. We'll tell you up front what's possible.
If you need the order to arrive on a date rather than as soon as possible, ask us. We can hold the order and ship it later, in time for the date. If something holds us up, we tell you as soon as we know and work out a fix with you.
Same-day orders
Same-day isn't a standard option, but it's sometimes possible. Ask us first, with your deadline, before you order, and we'll tell you whether we can do it.
What Rush can't change
Rush speeds up our part. It can't start before you approve your proof, and once the package is with the carrier, the delivery estimate is the carrier's. If the date is tight, add expedited or overnight shipping and leave a day to spare.
