Why Lead Time Matters in the Wallpaper Industry

ree

In the fast-moving world of home décor and retail merchandising, lead time can make or break a project. Whether you’re an e-commerce seller testing new designs or a hotel brand coordinating seasonal renovations, understanding the production schedule behind custom wallpaper is key to successful planning.

But what actually happens inside a wallpaper factory once your design is confirmed? Let’s take a look.

1. What Is Lead Time for Custom Wallpaper Orders?

“Lead time” refers to the total duration from when a custom wallpaper order is confirmed to when it’s ready for shipment. It includes:

  • Design finalization

  • Material preparation

  • Printing and finishing

  • Quality inspection

  • Packing and logistics

Typical industry lead times range from 3 to 8 weeks, but RunpWell Decor consistently delivers in 15 calendar days for custom runs—without compromising quality.
