The Cutoff Clock
Three timestamps, one deadline.
Rush only works if every handoff in the chain is on the same clock. Here is exactly when your order, your file, and your shipment have to land — sorted by order size — so you can paste this into your planner and stop guessing.

Cutoffs are Mountain Standard Time (Phoenix, AZ). Files submitted after the approval cutoff push the job to the next available rush window — we will always tell you before charging rush fees. See our 99.4% first-pass file approval rate →
Why The Clock Holds
Rush only works if the file doesn't bounce.
A 24-hour ship promise is meaningless if your artwork kicks back to prepress at hour 18. Here is the file-review safety net that protects every rush job — measured across the 1,243,800+ posters we've shipped since 2017.
99.4%
First-pass file approval
Files cleared on the first review — no back-and-forth, no missed cutoff.
98.2%
Zero-reprint rate
Above the 89% commercial-print industry benchmark — rush or not.
100%
Human file review on rush
Every rush job is checked by a prepress technician in Phoenix — no automated pass-through.
What we check before the clock starts
- Resolution ≥ 150 dpi at final output size (we'll flag anything under)
- Bleed & safe area for framed and mounted posters
- Color space: CMYK or sRGB with conversion notice
- Embedded fonts or outlined text paths
- Transparency flattening and overprint settings
If we catch an issue
You get an email with a screenshot of the problem and the fix — usually within 90 minutes of upload. Files caught after the cutoff get pushed to the next rush window automatically; we never charge rush fees on a job we delayed.
Speed, In Plain Numbers
How 24-hour rush stacks up.
We benchmarked the typical online poster printer on ship time, minimum order quantity, and what happens when your file isn't perfect. The 24-hour promise is the headline — the rest of the experience is why our rush customers come back.

A Real Deadline, A Real Save
"We had 80 grand-opening posters flying out to 12 brokerages on a Wednesday morning. I ordered Tuesday at 10 AM Phoenix time, the file was approved in 40 minutes, and the boxes were on loading docks across three states by Wednesday noon. The event went up on schedule — and the brokerages reordered 600 more the next week."
