Digital Fast vs Express Offset
Our Digital Fast EDDM Postcards have a production time of just 1-2 business days, making them a quicker option compared to Express offset printing, which typically takes 2-3 business days. This rapid production time means you can quickly adapt to changing market conditions or new marketing opportunities. While Express Offset might suit larger, less time-sensitive campaigns, Digital Fast provides the agility needed for dynamic marketing strategies.
Honest Limitations
While we pride ourselves on fast production times, it’s important to note that production time does not include transit time. Once your order is printed, shipping times will vary based on your location and chosen shipping method. Always check our online calculator for the most accurate shipping estimates to your ZIP code. Additionally, while custom papers and VDP offer enhanced personalization, they may extend production timelines, so plan accordingly when considering these options.
