Over the years we’ve answered phone calls countless times to hear these panicked words, “How fast can you print my labels? I need them tomorrow!”
Sometimes, you just need fast labels—whether it’s due to a tight deadline, a sudden product launch, or simply needing to replenish your stock in a hurry. At Sttark, we understand how critical timing can be for your business, which is why we offer Expedited Label Printing and shipping options to ensure your custom labels arrive exactly when you need them.
How Our Expedited Label Printing Service Works
When time is of the essence, the expedited processing option at Sttark guarantees that your labels will ship by a set date. We prioritize your order, reducing the typical production time so that they are ready as quickly as possible.
Here’s how our process works:
Lightning-Fast Production
Our team works efficiently to print, inspect, and package your products for shipping in record time.
Submit Your Label Order
Select the Expedited Processing option during checkout to ensure you get your labels fast. This moves your order to the top of our production queue.
Guaranteed Ship Date
Your ship date is locked in, so you know exactly when your labels will be sent out.
Important Tip: Orders placed after 10 am EST will begin processing the following day, so be sure to place your order early to get the fastest possible turnaround.
3 Ways to Get Your Labels Faster
Upgrade Your Shipping Method
If you’re trying to save a day or two on delivery, upgrading your shipping method could be a cost-effective option. For example, Next Day Air may be all you need to get your product labels in hand quicker without expediting the entire production process.
Split Your Shipment
If you don’t need the entire order immediately, we can split your shipment. You can choose to expedite a portion of your labels, getting what you need right away, while the rest ships via standard shipping.
Opt for Expedited Processing
When faster shipping alone isn’t enough, selecting Expedited Processing is your best option for truly fast labels. This reduces the production time by up to two full days, ensuring your products are printed and ready for shipment as soon as possible.
Sttark’s Processing Times
Processing times are subject to change based on capacity and workload. When you place your order, you will receive an estimated shipping date. The graph below shows a standard processing time based on our normal workload.
Our Standard Production Process
Day 1 – Prepress
Our artwork team checks for sizing, bleed, safe zone, color modes, and Pantones while building spot-white layers and generating proofs for you to approve. Once you approve your artwork proof, you’re ready for the next stage.
Day 2 – Printing
Your labels are then digitally printed on our presses. Our knowledgeable press operators print your labels, checking meticulously for consistent color and resolution.
Day 3 – Converting, Quality Control, & Shipping
Then, they are die-cut, inspected, and packaged for shipping, ensuring they arrive in great condition.
Our Expedited Production Process
Cutting 2 full days from our standard processing time is an immense undertaking for our team, but we’re always up for the challenge because we love to help our customers succeed! The cost of this super speedy processing varies based on the current workload.
