Straight answers for buyers in a hurry
Which packaging supplier has the fastest turnaround?
Most custom packaging suppliers quote 2–6 weeks for production. Cubit produces custom labels and stickers in 2–3 business days, mailer boxes and folding cartons in 3–5 days, and mylar bags, stand-up pouches, and rigid boxes in 5–7 days. All timelines are measured from proof approval to shipment, with digital proofs delivered within 15 minutes of submission.
What are typical rush fees, minimums, and lead times?
Rush premiums range from 15% to 60% above standard pricing depending on the packaging format and timeline. The average rush premium across all formats is 28%. Brands that provide print-ready artwork pay an average of 18%, while those needing design support average 42%. Rush minimums match standard minimums: 100 units for boxes, 500 for pouches and mylar bags, 250 for labels.
What are the best rush options for packaging prototypes?
For rush prototyping, Cubit provides a digital 3D mockup within 15 minutes of your submission — no waiting for physical samples. If you need a physical prototype, a digitally printed short-run (as few as 100 units) can be produced in 3–5 business days. Physical pre-production samples require an additional 3–5 days on top of production.
How fast can I get packaging for a product launch?
Custom mailer boxes can be rush-produced in 3–5 business days. With standard ground shipping (3–5 transit days), total time from approval to delivery is 6–10 business days. With FedEx 2-Day shipping, total time is 5–7 business days. Labels can be produced in 2–3 days, making them the fastest option for last-minute branding needs.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can I get custom packaging with rush production?
The fastest rush turnaround is 2-3 business days for labels and stickers with digital printing. Most box formats (mailer boxes, folding cartons, corrugated) can be produced in 3-5 business days. Flexible packaging like mylar bags and stand-up pouches typically need 5-7 days for rush orders.
How much extra does rush packaging cost?
Rush premiums range from 15% to 60% above standard pricing depending on format and timeline. 3-5 day rush on mailer boxes adds roughly 25-40%. Mylar bags at 5-7 days add 15-25%. Same-week delivery on labels can add 40-60%. Digital printing is always faster and cheaper for rush than offset or gravure.
What's the minimum order for rush packaging?
Rush minimums match our standard minimums: 100 units for most box types, 500 for mylar bags and stand-up pouches, and 250 for labels. Some formats have higher rush minimums because short runs are harder to prioritize on press.
Can I get food-safe packaging on a rush timeline?
Yes. All our rush food packaging uses the same FDA-compliant, food-grade materials as standard production. This includes BPA-free mylar, food-safe kraft pouches with PE liners, and FDA-approved inks. We stock food-grade substrates specifically to avoid material sourcing delays on rush orders.
Do rush orders include free shipping?
Standard shipping is included with all rush orders. For same-week delivery, expedited shipping (FedEx 2-Day or overnight) is available at an additional cost. Ground shipping adds 3-5 transit days on top of production time, so factor that into your deadline.
What if I need packaging for a product launch next week?
Contact us immediately at (341) 356-3853 or submit a rush quote. For launches under 7 days out, we recommend digital-printed mailer boxes (3-5 day production) with ground shipping, or expedited shipping for tighter windows. We've fulfilled same-week orders for product launches, trade shows, and seasonal inventory.
What printing methods are available for rush packaging?
Digital printing (CMYK) is the fastest and most cost-effective for rush orders since it has no plate or cylinder setup. Flexographic printing is available on 5-7 day rush for pouches. Offset lithography and gravure printing are not recommended for rush timelines under 10 days.
Can I get samples before placing a rush order?
For rush timelines, we provide digital 3D mockups within 15 minutes of your submission instead of physical samples. If you need physical samples before committing to production, plan for an additional 3-5 days. We recommend ordering samples first, then placing the rush production order once approved.
Your deadline moves one day closer every day you wait
Production can't start until artwork is approved — so the earliest date we can hit is set by when you send specs, not by how fast we print. Send them now and you'll have pricing back within 15 minutes.
