Are you looking for something quirky and fun
that can elevate your campaign experience or just want to add a squirrel ki
branded wrist to your already fantastic merchandise lineup in printed
table tennis balls are the fun and the most memorable choice. There are
many elements you have to look after while finalizing your design such as
picking the red colour and finalizing the logo of the ball. But do you know the
exact time these custom table tennis balls take to be printed and shipped?
Well, like most of the good things in life the answer is - it depends! Depends
on various factors to know the exact time you need to expect from placing the
order to receiving the best printed table tennis ball at your door.
Design Approval (1–3 Working Days)
For most of the shopping items, be it a bag or
a bat, the clock starts taking the moment you hit the “By Now” button. But,
unlike these items, printed
table tennis balls might take a little longer. As you have to contact
the supplier first to finalise the design and the artwork to be printed on the
ball.
Most of the suppliers will send you additional
proof of all rectifications, where you approve a mockup design on the ball. So,
the first step is to quickly respond to the mock design to avoid any delay in
the printing process. This race can unnecessarily stretch because of your
laziness.
Printing Process (3–7 Working
Days)
The second step after the design is approved
by you as well as the printing supplier is to begin the process. Here, a high
quality logo or graphic will be printed on the ball using pad printing. This
printing method helps in creating a durable yet crispy design on the curve
surface of a ping pong ball.
For example if you are ordering in bulk maybe
like 500 Balls for an event that might take a little more time. With so many
advances in printing technology you can expect express fringing methods for an
extra fee that is also an upgrade option for last minute advertising campaigns
or unexpected marketing opportunities.
Quality Checks & Packing (1–2
Working Days)
After the printing process is complete your
balls will not just arrive at your doorstep. Instead these walls will be tossed
into a box and shipped out for a quality check. Any good supplier will conduct
many quality checks to ensure consistency across the batch to make sure each
and every ball is printed perfectly.
One of the balls might be sent to the original
owner for confirmation before the packing starts. They will also be packed in a
special box as per your request to be shipped later from the delivery service.
Shipping & Delivery (2–5
Working Days – UK)
Now, you can finally see the timeline on your
website page and the delivery date also. Shipping time also varies according to
your distance and the delivery method you choose. For cities located in the
United Kingdom many suppliers often take 2 to 5 working days to ship the entire
bulk order.
You can
also choose express delivery or courier options if you are in a rush. Along
with that if you are ordering from another country then you also may need to
add extra charges and clearance fee which might take many more days than
expected.
Final Thoughts
Whether you're promoting your business,
hosting a launch party, or simply adding a unique touch to your club, custom-printed
table tennis balls are a great way to make a statement. Plan your order
far in advance to prevent a last-minute rush. Timing is crucial, much as in a
solid serve. If you do it correctly,
your personalised balls will be turning into hands—and hearts—when you need
them most.
