Fast Corporate Gifts: What's Still Possible in 2 Weeks
A guide for last-minute orders: what Christmas gifts with your logo can realistically still be printed and engraved within 2–6 business days.
If your gifts still aren't ordered today, 16 December, there's no need to panic: we produce fast corporate gifts with laser engraving or pad printing in 5–10 business days after artwork approval, while gift cards and stickers take 2–5 business days. To get printed gifts by 23 December, the order and files need to be confirmed right away; for later orders, a realistic deadline is before New Year or in early January.
What's Still Achievable by 23 December
From today until Christmas there are six business days. That means complex setups (individual packaging, large-volume embroidery, custom colour matching) are no longer realistic, but standard products with simple printing — if the artwork is approved immediately — are still possible.
The most realistic options:
- laser-engraved charging cables and power banks from our catalogue (1 item, single engraving position);
- mug and thermal mug printing from as little as 1 piece;
- gift cards, greeting cards, vouchers and packaging stickers — digital printing (2–5 business days);
- DTF printing on T-shirts or sweatshirts in small quantities (up to ~30 pcs).
What to move to January: screen printing jobs with 4+ colours, embroidery over 50 pcs, PVC banners with metal frame structures.

How to Speed Up the Process on Your End
Most delays in December happen not at the production stage, but at the file and approval stage. Three things that can save you one to two days:
- Logo in vector format — .ai, .eps or .pdf, CMYK. A JPG from your website isn't suitable for engraving or pad printing; redrawing it takes extra time.
- One person responsible for approving the artwork. If the design needs sign-off from three people, in December that means at least one extra day.
- Flexibility on colour and model. If a specific colour is out of stock, having an alternative ready means the order doesn't stall.
If Two Weeks Isn't Enough
Corporate gifts don't have to be handed out by 24 December. In practice, many Latvian companies give gifts to partners between the holidays or in the first week of January — that way the parcels don't get lost in the holiday rush and the gift actually gets noticed.
A last-minute solution that always works: a printed gift card or voucher with a personalised message, handed out during the holidays, with the actual gift following in January. We produce cards, envelopes and greeting cards in 2–5 business days, see business cards and cards. If you also need décor for the office or an event, we prepare A3–A0 posters and roll-up systems in 2–5 business days — see the full print range in the services section.
