🕒 What Factors Influence Manufacturing Time?

The total time to produce 1,000 metal stickers depends on several key factors:

1. Design and Artwork Finalization

Before production starts, the design files must be finalized and approved.
If your artwork requires adjustments or proofing, this step can add a few days.
Pro tip: Providing print-ready vector files speeds this process up.

2. Material Selection

Different materials like stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or nickel have varying lead times based on availability.
At Himgo, we stock common materials to reduce wait time.

3. Manufacturing Process and Complexity

The production method (e.g., laser engraving, embossing, anodizing) and sticker complexity affect speed.
More intricate designs or multiple finish layers may require additional time.

4. Order Volume and Scheduling

Although 1,000 units is considered a small to medium batch, our factory schedules production runs to optimize efficiency.
Peak seasons may experience longer lead times.

5. Quality Control and Packaging

Post-production checks, polishing, and packaging are essential steps that ensure your stickers arrive in perfect condition.
