Turnaround Time Tables

We understand that deadlines matter. At Cincinnati Minuteman Press, we work hard to produce your printing projects as quickly as possible without compromising quality. The turnaround tables below provide estimated production times for many of our products.

How Turnaround Time Works

Production turnaround refers only to the time required to manufacture your order. It does not include shipping or delivery time. Production begins after we have received all of the following:

  Your completed order
  Print-ready artwork or approved design
  Full payment (when required)
  Proof approval, if applicable

Daily Production Cutoff

Orders submitted with complete artwork and all required approvals by 12:00 PM Eastern Time begin processing based on the selected production schedule. Orders received after the cutoff are generally processed beginning the next business day.

What Can Affect Turnaround?

  Artwork revisions
  Proof approval delays
  Incomplete or low-resolution files
  Special paper or finishing requirements
  Large quantity orders
  Holidays and weekends

Need It Faster?

Many products offer expedited production options, including Next Business Day and Same Business Day service for qualifying orders. Availability depends on the product, quantity, artwork readiness, and production capacity. Contact our team if you're working with a tight deadline—we'll recommend the fastest available solution.

Production vs. Shipping

Once production is complete, you may choose in-store pickup, local delivery (where available), or nationwide shipping. Shipping transit time is separate from production turnaround and varies based on your selected delivery method and destination.
