Production Time

Production Time

Standard production time for Orbital truss displays without graphics is 3 to 5 working days. This time is needed to inspect, package and pallet your order. All order ship from our Chicago, IL warehouse.

When ordering custom graphics please allow 4-10 working days from proof approval for production and packaging.

Pallet orders can be picked up from our Chicago warehouse by the motor freight company of your choice or we can make the arrangements for you. Please note that pallet orders cannot be shipped via UPS or FedEx standard pickup services.

Artwork Design Guideline

Designing the artwork for your custom prints needs to be submitted correctly or extra charges and production delays will be inevitable.

Full graphic design services are available. Please contact customerservice@tradeshowtruss.com for details.

If designing your own artwork we suggest using a graphic designer with experience in large format digital printing. Digital printing differs greatly from offset. Here are some basic guidelines:

We accept Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop files only.
All graphic measurements shown on each product page include a required 3/4" bleed for Velcro or magnet attachment.
All photos must have at least 100 dpi resolution at final size.
All text must be Vector and converted to outline in Illustrator or include all font for Photoshop files.
All files in CMYK
Color match all critical colors in Pantone Solid Coated for color matching.
Do NOT embed photographs. Link photos to art file and include image files separately.
Special effects like drop shadows etc. can have mixed results and cannot be color matched.
PMS transparencies cannot be color matched.
File upload service is available but we would prefer the files on disk with color prints for color matching.

Not following the guidelines above will cause delays in proofing. Digital printing require the separation of file elements for color matching. Color matching requires file color adjustment on a day to day basis for each of our printers. If you do not call out PMS colors we cannot guarantee output using just CMYK.

Color printout proof are included with each graphics package. Please allow adequate time for proof generation and ship time to client for approval. Any possible problems will be called to your attention prior to printing. Waiving proofs for faster production will cause output to not be guaranteed.

Our standard charge by the hour is a very competitive rate of $45.00. We would be pleased to discuss with you the scope of work and to give you an estimate on the total hours your project will take to complete. In some cases, we can give you a guaranteed maximum price.

Depending on size and scope, each project is usually based on a two-phase process for billing purposes:

1. Prototype: The visual representation. Drafts are presented, feedback from you is taken and required modifications are incorporated. The first billing will be made when you are satisfied with the prototype.

2. Delivery: Final drafts are turned into a tested, working model. You will not be billed final until you are totally satisfied with the outcome of the project.

Please contact customerservice@tradeshowtruss.com for more information.
