Detailed FAQ — timing
What does standard 5–8 working days cover?
From signed digital proof + deposit received, through screen burning / file ripping, blank pulling, printing, drying / curing, QC, polybag and palletising. Spanish national + regional holidays excluded from the count.
How does the +35% rush work?
We push the order to the front of the queue and run overtime shifts. Maximum two days saved on most orders; less on embroidery or sublimation. We confirm rush feasibility before applying the surcharge.
Strike-off?
A pre-production printed sample on the actual blank with your final artwork. Used to approve colour, position and feel before committing the full run. Ships in 2–4 working days.
Digital proof speed?
24 hours for vector-clean artwork, 48 hours when we need to redraw or colour-separate. Includes mockups on the chosen blank and Pantone callouts.
Fastest shipment?
For stock-blank, single-position, single-colour orders ≤300 pcs in Madrid/Barcelona, 48–72 hours is feasible at +35% rush. For MWC and IFEMA deadlines we have done express on pre-stocked SKUs.
Deposit unlock?
SEPA bank transfers usually settle next morning; card payments authorise the line same day. Once funds are visible, scheduling assigns a slot within one working day.
Spanish holiday closures?
National holidays + autonomous-community festivals (e.g. La Mercè in Catalonia, San Isidro in Madrid) pause the lead-time count. August "puente" weeks are partially affected.
Embroidery lead times?
Digitisation adds 24 hours, then standard 5–8 working days production.
Spain-specific notes
Lead-time clocks pause for Spanish national + regional public holidays. Invoices are issued under Veri*factu rules on the delivery date with IVA 21%, reported through SII in real time where applicable — recurring clients on Net 30 / Net 60 receive a payment-due date inside the invoice. SEPA settles the deposit overnight, which unlocks the production line in our Spanish hub.
