Rush Custom Hoodies: Same-Day vs 1–3 Days
Need custom hoodies fast? There's no same-day: how the 1–3 and 4–5 business-day rush windows work, how they're priced, and what slows a hoodie order down.
- Fastest window
- 1–3 business days, offered up to a set number of pieces because the press can only clear so many hoodies that fast. Above that count the option shows locked, with a number to call.
- Second window
- 4–5 business days, not capped by piece count the way the 1–3 day rush is.
- Standard turnaround
- 1–2 weeks (6–10 business days) on clothing, with no rush fee. Always offered.
- Rush fee
- A percentage of the goods, never of the shipping, priced at checkout. The percentage steps down as the order grows.
- Ready dates
- Every order shows the dates it will be ready before you pay. Only business days count, Monday to Friday: a 1–3 day rush ordered on a Friday is ready Monday to Wednesday.
- Same-day
- Not offered on hoodies or any other garment.
- Delivery
- Local delivery across Ottawa–Gatineau and shipping Canada-wide, priced for your postal code and shown before you pay. Orders typically arrive 1–2 days after they leave the shop. Pickup in Ottawa is by appointment.
Rush custom hoodie windows, fastest to most flexible
Every hoodie order picks one of three turnaround windows at checkout, and the windows sit end to end: 1–3 business days, 4–5 business days, then the standard 6–10. Same-day is on the chart only so you can see where it would sit. Tap a window to jump to its card.

Every hoodie turnaround, one by one
What each window is, who it suits, and the limits that come with it. The hoodie itself never changes with the window: the same Gildan 18500 pullover in 8.0 oz Heavy Blend fleece, the same print or stitching, and the same human designer check before it goes to press.
Can you get custom hoodies the same day?
No same-day production, on hoodies or any other garment
No. A same-day hoodie would need the artwork checked, the mockup approved, the hoodies printed or stitched, finished, counted and packed inside one working day, for every order that asked for it. We would rather tell you the real number than sell a promise the press cannot keep, so there is no same-day option on hoodies, or on anything else we make.
The fastest real window is the 1–3 business-day rush below. If the date you need is sooner than anything can reach, the studio says so and gives you a number to call, rather than taking the order.
Custom hoodies in 1–3 business days
The fastest rush · capped piece count · the larger rush percentage
The fastest window we offer: the hoodies are ready 1 to 3 business days after the order is paid and the artwork approved. It is offered up to a set number of pieces, because the press can only clear so many hoodies that fast. Above that count the option still shows in the studio, locked, with a note to call us, rather than being sold and then missed.
It is the more expensive of the two rushes: a percentage of the order, priced at checkout, that steps down as the order grows. It works best when the artwork is ready to print and the size list is final when you order. Weekends do not count, so a 1–3 day rush ordered on a Friday is ready Monday to Wednesday.
Custom hoodies in 4–5 business days
Rush · not capped by piece count · the smaller rush percentage
The middle window: ready 4 to 5 business days after the order is paid and approved, for a smaller percentage than the 1–3 day rush. It is not capped by piece count the way the fastest rush is, so it is the usual answer for a staff order of a few dozen hoodies or a team that needs them before next weekend.
An order paid and approved on a Monday is ready by Friday or the following Monday. If a 4–5 day window gets you there with a day to spare, it is the better buy than the 1–3 day rush: the hoodies are the same, only the rush fee changes.
Custom hoodies in 1–2 weeks (standard)
6–10 business days · no rush fee · always offered
Standard turnaround on clothing is 1–2 weeks, which works out to 6 to 10 business days. It carries no rush fee, it is always offered, and it is where most hoodie orders belong. If the event is more than two weeks away, the fastest way to get hoodies is simply to order now on standard.
It is also the window big runs are booked on: a run in the hundreds is planned around a date agreed when you order, not squeezed into a rush.
Need hoodies by a specific date?
Type the date; the studio picks the cheapest window that reaches it
You do not have to work the windows out yourself. In the design studio, the turnaround step has a “Need it by a date?” box. Pick the date and the studio checks it against the three windows: if standard reaches it, nothing changes; if it needs a rush, the rush that reaches it is selected for you and the fee is named before you pay.
Switch back to a slower window that cannot make the date and the date comes off, with a message saying so. A date nothing can reach is refused, with a phone number, instead of being sold.
Can embroidered hoodies be rushed?
The same windows · a new logo is digitized before it can be stitched
Yes, with one step printed hoodies skip. An embroidery machine sews from a stitch file, so a logo we have never stitched has to be digitized first: redrawn as stitches by a person, not converted by software. Our guide to embroidery digitizing explains what that involves.
A logo already digitized for an earlier order goes straight to the machine, which makes repeat staff hoodies the easiest embroidery to rush. For a new logo and a tight date, a printed left-chest logo at 3.5″ wide is the faster route.
Hundreds of custom hoodies, fast?
Booked on the standard schedule · quoted directly
The 1–3 day rush stops at a set piece count for a plain reason: there is no percentage at which several hundred hoodies leave the shop the next morning. Large orders are usually screen printed and quoted directly, and the way to get them fast is to book the date when you order, on the standard schedule.
Tell us the date first, not last, and count back from it. Our guide to wholesale custom hoodies covers planning a run in the hundreds.

What slows a custom hoodie order down
A rush buys press time. It cannot buy back a day lost waiting for a file or a size list, and on a 1–3 day window one missing answer can use up the whole margin. These are the things that actually hold hoodie orders up, and how to get ahead of each one.
| What holds it up | Why it costs time | How to get ahead of it |
|---|---|---|
| Artwork | A low-resolution logo or a screenshot has to be fixed or replaced before it can print sharply | Send the original file: a vector (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) or a large PNG |
| Approval | Nothing prints until you approve the mockup, and every round of changes waits on a reply | Name one person who approves, and decide placement and colours before you order |
| The size list | Hoodies are printed in sizes; a list that is still changing stalls the whole order | Collect sizes before you order, and add a couple of spares in common sizes |
| Embroidery digitizing | A new logo is redrawn as a stitch file before the machine can sew it | Reuse a logo already on file, or print the logo when the date is tight |
| The size of the run | The fastest rush stops at a set piece count; hundreds of hoodies need booked press time | Book big runs on the standard schedule, around a date agreed when you order |
Every order is reviewed by a human designer before it goes to press, checking resolution, colour, sizing and placement. A good file sails through that check; a poor one comes back with a question, and on a rush that question is the delay. If you are unsure how big the print should be, our hoodie print placement guide has the standard sizes: 11″ wide on the front and back, 3.5″ on the chest, 3″ on a sleeve, with the front print stopping about 9.4″ down where the pouch pocket starts.
How much it costs to rush custom hoodies
A rush is priced as a percentage of the goods, the hoodies and their printing, and never of the shipping. The 1–3 day rush carries the larger percentage and the 4–5 day rush the smaller one. On both, the percentage steps down as the order grows, so a rush on a big order costs a smaller share than a rush on a handful. A small order pays a minimum fee rather than a tiny percentage, because moving any order up the schedule takes the same work.
You see the rush fee at checkout, before you pay, along with the dates the order will be ready. Standard turnaround carries no rush fee at all, which is why ordering early is the cheapest kind of fast. Our guide to cheap custom hoodies covers the other ways to bring the price per hoodie down.
From approval to your door: a hoodie rush timeline
Here is how the three windows land for an order paid and approved on a Monday. The windows count business days only, starting the next business day, and a holiday the shop is closed pushes every date back by a day. The dates shown at checkout are the ones that count.
| Window | Business days | Ready (ordered Monday) | Rush fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 day rush | 1–3 | Tuesday to Thursday | The larger percentage, capped piece count |
| 4–5 day rush | 4–5 | Friday to the following Monday | The smaller percentage |
| Standard | 6–10 | The following Tuesday to the Monday after that | None |
“Ready” means ready to leave the shop. Add delivery on top: orders typically arrive 1–2 days after they leave, so a team that needs hoodies on a Saturday should aim for them to be ready by the Wednesday or Thursday before, not the Friday.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get custom hoodies the same day in Ottawa?
No. YAYA Prints does not offer same-day production on hoodies or any other garment. The fastest option is a 1–3 business-day rush, offered up to a set number of pieces, then a 4–5 business-day rush; standard turnaround on clothing is 1–2 weeks. Every order shows the dates it will be ready before you pay.
How fast can I get custom hoodies?
In 1–3 business days with the fastest rush, if the order is under its piece cap, the artwork is ready to print and the sizes are final. The 4–5 business-day rush has no such cap, and standard turnaround is 1–2 weeks (6–10 business days). Delivery typically adds 1–2 days after the hoodies leave the shop in Ottawa.
How much does it cost to rush custom hoodies?
A rush is a percentage of the goods, never of the shipping, and it is shown at checkout before you pay. The 1–3 day rush carries the larger percentage and the 4–5 day rush the smaller one; both step down as the order grows, with a minimum fee on small orders. Standard 1–2 week turnaround has no rush fee.
How many hoodies can be rushed in 1–3 business days?
Up to a set number of pieces, because the press can only clear so many hoodies that fast. Above that count the 1–3 day option shows in the studio but is locked, with a note to call 613-666-9292. The 4–5 business-day rush is not capped that way, and runs in the hundreds are best booked on the standard 1–2 week schedule.
Can embroidered hoodies be rushed?
Yes, on the same 1–3 and 4–5 business-day windows, but a logo that has never been stitched must be digitized into a stitch file first, which takes extra time. A logo already digitized for an earlier order goes straight to the machine. For a new logo and a tight date, a printed 3.5-inch left-chest logo is usually the faster choice.
Do weekends count toward a hoodie rush?
No. Every window counts business days, Monday to Friday, and shop closures such as holidays push the dates back. A 1–3 day rush ordered on a Friday is ready Monday to Wednesday, and the exact dates are shown at checkout before you pay.
Design it yourself. A human designer still checks every order.
Our free studio gives you the price and the mockup in the browser. What it doesn't do is print your file blindly — every order is reviewed by a real designer before it reaches the press.
- Step 1You design it — free
Upload your logo, drop it on a real garment, set the size and placement, pick colours and quantities. No account, no deposit, no waiting on a reply.
- Step 2A human designer checks it
Before anything prints, one of our designers opens your file and checks resolution, colours, sizing and placement. If it won't print well, we fix it or tell you exactly what's wrong — a person, not an automated preflight.
- Step 3You approve, then we print
You get the corrected mockup back on the actual product. Nothing goes to press until you say yes — then it's ready in 1–2 weeks, or in 1–3 business days with a rush.
