Rush Orders & Tight Deadlines

Yes. Promotional Product Inc. offers rush production in as little as 3–5 business days on hundreds of popular items, with 24-hour service available on select products. We also guarantee in-hands dates on qualifying rush orders — if we miss your date, the rush fee is refunded. Talk to a rush specialist or browse all products.

Rush fees vary by product and speed, typically ranging from a modest flat fee to 10–25% of the order value for the fastest turnarounds. Expedited shipping, if needed, is quoted separately. We always present the most economical combination of production speed and shipping that hits your date. Learn more about rush service or request a rush quote.

With 24-hour rush production plus overnight shipping, qualifying items can be in your hands in as little as 2–3 business days from proof approval.

Typically: a rush-eligible product, vector artwork (.AI, .EPS, or .PDF), a single imprint color and location, proof approval before the factory cutoff, and standard catalog colors. Complex artwork, PMS matching, or multiple locations usually require the 3–5 day rush tier instead. Ask us what qualifies.

No. Rush orders go through the same decoration equipment and quality checks as standard orders — they simply jump the production queue. The only real trade-off is reduced flexibility: fewer products qualify, and changes after approval are harder to accommodate. Questions? Contact our team.

Yes, though embroidery rush windows are usually 3–5 business days rather than 24 hours, because stitching is slower than printing. If your logo is already digitized from a previous order, embroidery rushes move noticeably faster. Browse apparel or ask about embroidery rush.

It means we commit, in writing, that your order arrives on or before your stated date. On qualifying rush orders, if we miss that date for any reason within our control, we refund your rush fee. It's our accountability built directly into your deadline. Lock in your in-hands date.

It depends on the math. Sometimes standard production plus overnight air is cheaper; other times rush production plus ground freight wins. Give us your in-hands date and zip code, and we'll quote both paths so you pay the least to arrive on time. Get both quotes compared. See also production times.

Yes. Split shipments let us rush the quantity you need immediately and run the balance on standard production at standard pricing. You pay rush charges only on the expedited portion. Ask about split-shipping your order.

Many full-color digital and UV-printed items qualify for 3–5 day rush since digital printing requires no screens or plates. True 24-hour service is less common for full color, but our team can confirm current options for your specific product. Check full-color rush options.
