Turnaround Times at The Imaging Centre
At The Imaging Centre, we know how important it is for your printed materials to arrive on time and meet your expectations.
Reliable turnaround times help you plan with confidence, keep projects running smoothly, and avoid last-minute surprises. That’s why we are committed to being as clear and transparent as possible about how long each stage of production takes.
Every job we produce is carefully scheduled and managed to ensure the best balance between speed, accuracy, and premium quality. While we always aim to complete work as quickly as possible, turnaround times can vary depending on the complexity of the job, the finishes required, and the current production capacity.
Typical Turnaround Times
To help set clear expectations, our average turnaround times are as follows:
Print Only: 3 – 5 working days
Print & Pack: 5 – 7 working days
Special Finishes: 5 -10 working days
Special Finishes & Pack: 10 – 15 working days
Overall, turnaround times typically range from 2 – 20 working days, depending on the nature and scale of the job.
Why Some Jobs Take Longer
Some projects require additional production processes, particularly those involving special finishes such as embossing, foiling, fluting, or other bespoke enhancements. These finishes add extra stages to the production workflow which naturally extends turnaround times compared to standard print work.
Similarly, larger or more complex orders will require additional time for setup, production, and quality checks to ensure everything is completed to the highest standard.
Busy Periods
During peak production periods, turnaround times may occasionally be longer than usual due to increased demand. While we always strive to meet or exceed our estimated timeframes, high volumes of work around national holidays can impact scheduling.
Rest assured, every order is carefully planned and scheduled to maintain efficiency and consistency across all jobs.
Your Order Confirmation
Once your order has been placed, you’ll receive a confirmation email outlining your scheduled completion date. If you’re working towards a specific deadline, we strongly encourage you to contact your customer account manager as early as possible. We will always do our best to accommodate urgent requests and support your project timeline wherever we can.
