⏳ What is the production timeline for a semi-custom order?Updated 4 months ago

Our semi-custom ex-libris stamps are a faster alternative to our fully custom designs. These stamps are based on existing illustrations from our collection and personalized with your name, initials, or phrase — perfect if you’re looking for something meaningful with a shorter turnaround time.

Here’s what you can expect:


1. Personalization & setup: 2 to 3 working days

After you place your order and provide your name or custom text, we will:

  • Insert your chosen text into the selected design

  • Prepare the layout for engraving

  • Send it directly into production (no draft is sent unless requested)

This step is very quick — usually 2 to 3 business days.


2. Engraving & production: 3 to 5 working days

Once the layout is prepared, your stamp is engraved and mounted in our Parisian workshop. This process takes approximately 3 to 5 business days, depending on the season and workshop schedule.


3. Shipping time: depends on destination

  • France: 2 to 4 business days

  • Europe: 5 to 10 business days

  • International: 7 to 14 business days

A tracking number will be sent once your parcel is shipped.
