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.
