Printing Times Guidelines

The following time frames should be used as a guide to the amount of lead time necessary for different jobs:

If you have a rush job, contact the Publications Bureau Chief before submitting your printing request for time required:

Note: Please do not include Holidays or weekends when requesting printing.

2-5 days: Items run on copier (such as news releases, job openings & reprint of articles that do not require any cutting or binding).

10–15 days: Items run on the duplicating press or copier but of which there are a large number of sets that require collating, folding, stapling and/or binding. Reprints of basic forms and brochures without changes that are run on the two-color press.

4 weeks: Reprints of brochures with forms that have major revisions and small books that are run on the two-color press.

15 days: Business cards and envelopes.

2 to 3 months: New forms and publications and major revisions; publications that must go to outside vendors (such as pin-fed forms, unusual sequences of NCR paper and oversized publications, posters).

*Note: These times are after approved proof sheets have been returned.

Framing: We do not have frames, but we can frame for you if you bring your own frame. Allow 10-15 days if commissioner’s  signature required.
