Fast label production & delivery
Production typically 10–20 working days after approval, delivery across Europe from Bulgaria, and express options for urgent orders.
Our delivery promise
Because we produce labels in our own facility in Bulgaria, we control the schedule from artwork to dispatch. Your order goes straight into our own production plan in Bulgaria, so you get a firm schedule from the start. Once you approve the proof or sample, production typically takes 10–20 working days, depending on label type, quantity and finishing. Your labels then travel by courier or road freight to your factory or warehouse anywhere in Europe.
Typical stages and durations
| Stage | Typical duration | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Quote | Usually within 1 working day | We confirm technique, size, price and timing |
| Digital proof | Typically 24–48 h | To-scale artwork with colours and folds marked |
| Physical sample (optional) | Confirmed with your quote | Sample in the real material for approval |
| Production | Typically 10–20 working days | Weaving/printing, finishing, cutting, quality control |
| Delivery within the EU | Usually a few working days | Courier or road freight, no customs formalities |
| Delivery outside the EU | A few working days plus clearance | Export documents prepared; import duties or fees may apply |
Simple printed and care labels generally sit at the shorter end of the production range; multi-colour woven labels, silicone, leather or metal items with new tooling usually need more time.
Express options
If you have a launch date, a trade fair or a production line waiting, tell us in the quote form. We check capacity and material stock for your specific order and tell you honestly what is achievable before you commit. Express lead times depend on the label type and the production schedule, so we confirm them case by case rather than promise a fixed number.
What speeds things up
- Complete information in the first request: type, size, quantity, colours, deadline and delivery country.
- Quick approvals: the production clock starts when you approve the proof or sample.
- Using our design studio: our express label design service delivers production-ready files without file conversion delays.
- Repeat orders of approved designs: no new proof or sample is needed.
- Standard sizes and materials: see the label size guide.
Packed for the production line
Labels arrive ready to use: counted, bundled or rolled per design, size and colour, and clearly marked so your sewing team can pick the right label without sorting. If you split one order between several factories or warehouses, give us the quantities per address and we pack and ship each part separately. For every dispatch you receive tracking details, so you can plan the start of sewing around the delivery date rather than hoping for it.
Shipping inside and outside the EU
Bulgaria is an EU member state, so deliveries to other EU countries move without customs declarations or import duties. For the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and other non-EU destinations, we prepare the export paperwork; import VAT, duties or handling fees may be charged in the destination country according to local rules, and clearance can add time. Tell us your delivery country when you request a quote and we will factor it into the schedule.
