For a typical order of fifty planter boxes with drainage holes, the production run usually takes about 15 to 25 working days after final specifications, drawing approval, and deposit confirmation. This timeline generally includes order review, material preparation, cutting and assembly, drainage-hole drilling, surface finishing, quality inspection, and packing. If you choose a standard in-stock model, the lead time may be shorter, often around 10 to 15 working days. If the planter boxes are fully custom, use special materials, require complex finishes, or need custom packaging, expect approximately 20 to 30 working days or more. Drainage holes usually do not add much extra time on their own unless the size, placement, or reinforcement requires special tooling. To keep the fifty-unit run on schedule, confirm the dimensions, material, finish, drainage-hole layout, labeling, and packaging requirements before production begins. A rush option may shorten the lead time to around 10 to 15 working days, depending on factory capacity and material availability. Shipping transit time is separate. For the most accurate schedule, send the factory your complete specifications and delivery deadline so the production plan can be confirmed.
