Rush Turnaround Options
Not every deadline is 24 hours — we have three rush tiers to match your timeline and budget. The faster the turnaround, the more we prioritize your job on the production line.
| Rush tier | Production window | Typical surcharge | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24-Hour Priority | Ships next business day | +10-20% | Emergencies, last-minute gifts |
| 2–3 Business Day Rush | 2–3 business days | +10% | Trade shows, press events |
| 5 Business Day Rush | 5 business days | Free | Standard rush orders (our most common) |
Rush fees cover priority art handling, expedited decoration slots, and courier shipping. We confirm the exact timeline and fees upfront in your quote — no surprises.
Most-Ordered Rush Product Categories
Not every product can be rushed — decoration method and raw material stock matter. Below are the categories that ship fastest and most reliably under tight deadlines.
Rush Pens & Writing Instruments
Javalina, Cubano, Sonata, Maxglide — single-colour pad-printed pens ship in as little as 24 hours. Starting as low as $0.58/unit.
Rush Tote Bags & Drawstring Backpacks
Non-woven totes, cotton totes, drawstring sport packs — trade show essentials available in 2–5 business day rush. Starting at $1.84/unit.
Rush Mugs, Tumblers & Drinkware
Heritage ceramic mugs, Crenshaw tumblers, shaker bottles, Tritan water bottles — single-colour imprint rush available in 3–5 days.
Rush Name Tags & Event Credentials
Professional engraved name tags with magnetic or pin backing — ideal for conferences and last-minute staff events.
Rush Golf & Sport Accessories
Recycled golf towels, cooling towels, stress balls, yoga mats, sport duffels — perfect for tournament and corporate fitness events.
Rush Tech & Travel Essentials
Charging kits, bladeless fans, phone wallets, tumbler pouches — perfect for summer events and travel-themed campaigns.
How to Get Rush Promotional Items Even Faster
When time is tight, a few simple prep steps on your end shave 1–2 full business days off the total turnaround. Follow these three rules and we’ll hit your deadline:
1. Send Print-Ready Artwork Upfront
Vector files (.ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg) with all fonts outlined are fastest. If we have to recreate or clean up your logo, expect +1 business day and an art fee.
2. Choose Single-Colour Imprint Design
Every extra detail adds production time. For any rush order that is 24-48 hour turnaround, we are limited to a 1 COLOR IMPRINT, 1 LOCATION and no virtual proof as time is very limited. One-colour pad print is the fastest-decorating method by a wide margin.
3. Confirm In-Hand Date & Shipping Postal Code Upfront
We ship via priority courier across Canada. Knowing your destination postal code lets us pre-book the fastest lane (typically 1–2 business days within most urban centres).
Common Scenarios Where Rush Service Saves the Day
| Scenario | Recommended rush tier | Best-fit products |
|---|---|---|
| Last-minute trade show (< 1 week) | 1–3 day rush | Tote bags, pens, name tags |
| Surprise client or VIP gift | 24-hour or 2–3 day rush | Mugs, tumblers, premium pens |
| Pop-up activation / brand launch | 5-day rush | Totes, drawstring packs, drinkware |
| Replacement order (original arrived late/damaged) | 24-hour priority | Whatever was originally ordered |
| Press conference / media kit | 2–3 day rush | Notepads, pens, tumblers, tote |
| Weekend tournament swag shortage | 24-hour or 2–3 day rush | Golf towels, cooling towels, water bottles |
Transparent Rush Pricing — No Surprises
Rush production typically carries a +10% premium on the standard unit price to cover expedited art approval, decoration line scheduling, and priority courier shipping. Faster tiers (24-hour and 2–3 day) may run higher depending on the product and quantity.
Your CanPromos account manager will quote all rush fees upfront, in writing, before we begin production. If the timeline or fee doesn’t work for you, we’ll propose alternatives — such as in-stock products already decorated, or splitting the order into a partial rush + standard shipment.

How to Place a Rush Order With CanPromos — Step by Step
Follow these steps to get your rush order moving as fast as possible:
- Call us first. Reach our team at 1-888-977-1075 and tell us your event date and what products you need. We’ll confirm immediately what’s achievable on your timeline.
- Send your logo. Email your logo in vector format (AI, EPS, SVG, or high-res PDF) as soon as possible. Every hour counts on a rush order.
- Approve your proof fast. We’ll send a free digital proof within 24 business hours. Approve it same day to keep your production timeline on track.

- Your order ships to your door. We’ll send you a tracking number the moment your order ships. Rush shipping upgrades available.
5 Tips to Make Your Rush Order Go Smoothly
- Have your logo ready before you call. Vector files only if possible. A JPG logo slows everything down.
- Know your quantity upfront. Changing quantities after proof approval can reset your timeline.
- One colour logos produce faster. If you’re flexible on decoration, a one-colour imprint is quicker and most of the time the only option available for 24-48 hour rush orders.
- Budget for rush fees and express shipping. Rush production costs more — we’ll always be transparent about pricing before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions — Rush Promotional Products Canada
How fast can you produce and deliver rush promotional products in Canada?
Our fastest turnaround is 24-48 hours for production on select products, plus 1-3 business days for shipping anywhere in Canada. Total minimum time from order to door is roughly 24-48 hours for most rush orders. Express shipping can reduce delivery time further — call us at 1-888-977-1075 to discuss your specific deadline.
What is the minimum order for rush promotional products?
Minimum order quantities on rush items are the same as our standard catalogue — most products start at 50-100 units. Smaller quantities are sometimes possible on rush orders but may affect pricing. Contact us before assuming your quantity won’t work.
Do rush orders cost more?
Yes — rush production fees apply on top of standard product pricing. We will always quote you the full cost including rush fees before you commit, so there are no surprises. In most cases the rush fee is a flat addition per order, not per unit.
What file format do I need for a rush logo order?
Vector files produce the fastest results: AI, EPS, SVG, or high-res PDF. If you only have a JPG or PNG, our design team may be able to work with it or recreate it in vector format — but this adds time. For rush orders, always try to have a vector file ready before you call.
Can you do same-week promotional products in Canada?
In some cases, yes — particularly for simple, in-stock items like pens and lanyards with one-colour imprints. Same-week delivery depends on your location in Canada and shipping method chosen. Call us immediately at 1-888-977-1075 if you need a same-week turnaround and we will tell you honestly whether it’s achievable.
Do you ship rush orders to all provinces in Canada?
Yes — we ship rush promotional products to every province and territory in Canada, including Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland, Nunavut, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. Remote locations may require additional shipping time.
