Structured Answers
For a 20,000-piece reference order, the source records 5-7 days after design confirmation for mold production, 7 days for mass production, 2 days for packing and dispatch preparation, and a stated total cycle of 15-20 days. The final schedule remains subject to project confirmation.
Common delays include late artwork, unclear color references, changing packaging structure after sampling, incomplete compliance requirements, deposit timing, or inspection criteria that were not confirmed before production.
Often yes. Repeat orders can move faster when the mold, color, logo, packaging, inspection criteria, and carton marks are already approved and unchanged.
