You have a great design you want to bring to life as a sticker, and you’ve decided to give MakeStickers.com a try! (Thank you, by the way.)

  • "What does 2-day turnaround mean?"
  • "Is it 2 business days or 2 regular days?"
  • "Will my stickers be delivered to my door within 2 days?"

We get it–it can be super confusing, and it means different things for different sticker printing companies. We don’t want to confuse you–ordering stickers should be one of the easiest things you do today! Let’s take a look at how ordering and 2-day turnaround at MakeStickers works.

2-Day Turnaround

What does 2-day turnaround mean at MakeStickers?

A 2-day turnaround at MakeStickers means it takes your sticker order approximately 2 business days to process, proof, print, and ship orders from our production facility (based in Tinley Park, IL) – but only as long as the proofs are approved in a timely manner.

Proofs must be approved by 3 p.m. CT on the business day before your order is scheduled to ship from our production facility. If proofs aren’t approved, your order won’t continue to be processed until it is.

Dependable Proofing

What do you proof when you look over my file?

Everything! Our in-house pre-press team looks over every file to make sure it’s print ready (and that includes double-checking the spelling and clarity of the image)!

Do I get to proof my sticker before it goes to print?

Yes – even after our team looks it over, we still send you an email (and if you’ve opted in, a text message) letting you know your proofs are ready for you to review personally.

Can I make changes during the proof process?

Absolutely! Once you look your proofs over, you can either request changes (for example, change the sticker’s shape from square to rectangle) or approve the proof. 

Every sticker should look exactly how you envision it, which is why proofing is so important. If a file needs a little tweaking or an adjustment to print properly, we’d rather take the time to fix it before it’s sent off to the printers.

Fast Shipping

How fast can I get my stickers after they are approved?

But even with all of the proofing steps and quality assurances, your custom stickers or labels will be on the way to your door in 2 business days or less – for free.

I live in Canada. Can you still ship to me?

Of course! We offer international shipping to Canada as well. Estimated shipping times range between 2-14 business days for our Canadian neighbors. 

We want to do everything we can to set you up for success with your custom stickers, even before we start printing. If you have additional questions, like what size or material is best for your design, we encourage you to check out the following articles:
