Scheduling a print project
Work back from the date the goods must arrive.
A complete schedule includes approval and delivery, not only press time. Free sample preparation is completed within 15 days; bulk manufacturing and transport use separate order schedules.
Identify the release condition for each stage.
| Stage | Input / output | Schedule dependency |
|---|---|---|
| Specification | Versioned brief, quantity, materials, structure and destination | An undecided material or construction can change both price and production route. |
| File and sample | Checked files and the sample scope | Artwork corrections, prototype choices and materials determine what can be reviewed. |
| Approval | Named file and physical references where needed | Allow time for buyer review. A change may require a revised sample or template. |
| Manufacturing | Printing, drying/curing, conversion and assembly | Order complexity, materials and actual capacity determine the bulk schedule. |
| Inspection and packing | Finished checks and complete packing information | Multiple editions, inserts or kits add counting and identification work. |
| Delivery | Freight, clearance and final-address scope | Transit is separate from manufacturing; destination requirements may affect release. |
Use the 15-day promise for the correct stage.
Free samples are available, with sample preparation completed within 15 days.
That statement covers sample preparation. It does not promise that bulk printing, courier transit or customs clearance will finish within the same 15 days. Identify the required approval feature and the delivery arrangements in the sample request.

Read guideMake an arrival date useful.
Share the destination and the latest acceptable in-hand date. Identify which milestones are fixed, such as a launch or distribution appointment, and allow the team to compare feasible production and transport options.
Do not treat a published typical turnaround from another factory as your order schedule. Your quotation and approval plan define the actual release conditions.
