Next-Day Plywood Signs
A welcome board for a wedding at the weekend, a price board for a farm shop opening on Saturday, a house name that must be up before guests arrive: order and approve your artwork by 2.30pm Mon–Fri and your plywood sign is printed the same day and delivered the next working day to any address on the UK mainland. Order after the cut-off, or at a weekend or on a bank holiday, and it is printed on the next working day and reaches you the working day after.
Your design is UV-printed straight onto 3 mm birch plywood, single sided, so the pale grain shows through lighter colours and any white in the artwork stays as bare wood. Choose A5, A4, A3, A2 or a custom size, and order from one sign to ten. Upload a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed: plywood is an upload-only product with no online designer, so the file needs to be finished before the cut-off.

How next-day plywood signs work
Order and approve by 2.30pm
Choose your options, upload your artwork, and pay by 2.30pm Mon–Fri. Choose next-day delivery at checkout, then approve your free proof by the same time, because we print once you approve.
Printed the same day
Your sign is printed direct onto the birch plywood on our London flatbed the same afternoon, so the grain shows through, then cut to its finished size on the flatbed cutter.
Delivered the next working day
A tracked courier delivers the next working day anywhere on the UK mainland. Next-day delivery skips weekends and bank holidays, and the dates above already account for that. Saturday Delivery is offered at checkout, to UK mainland addresses, when your order can leave us on a Friday: order between 2.30pm on Thursday and 2.30pm on Friday, and approve your artwork by 2.30pm on Friday.
The next-day rule
Next-day delivery needs your order in, and your artwork approved, by 2.30pm Mon–Fri for delivery the next working day. Production is scheduled from your approval, not from the time you order, so orders placed or artwork approved after that, or at weekends and bank holidays, are dispatched on the next working day and arrive the working day after. Every order gets a free print preview within the hour; changes to the artwork itself are a priced service per file, back within the hour too.
Missed the 2.30pm cutoff? In London, choose the Priority courier at checkout: printed first thing on the next working day and delivered by tracked courier that day (tomorrow when you order Monday to Thursday), priced like same-day.
What counts
- Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding England and Wales bank holidays; the print room is in London.
- Next-day delivery covers the UK mainland; Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland rates and timings are shown at checkout.
- Order and approve your artwork by the cut-off: a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed. We book production from your approval, not your payment.
- Not in a hurry? Standard delivery is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £50 and takes 3-5 working days.
Next-day plywood signs FAQs
Will the wood grain show through my design?
Yes, and that is usually the reason people choose plywood. We print onto the raw birch rather than a white base, so pastels, creams and whites pick up the timber beneath and anything left white in the file prints as untouched wood. Solid dark inks sit cleanly on top. If you need a pure white area, a Foamex or Eco Display Board sign is the better choice.
Which sizes can be printed and delivered for the next working day?
A5, A4, A3 and A2 on 3 mm birch plywood, or a custom size priced live in the configurator. A2 is the size most people choose for a wedding welcome board on an easel; A4 and A3 suit table plans, price boards and bar menus; A5 works for a house name or a small shelf sign.
Can the sign stand outside on the day?
Treat plywood as an indoor board. A day outside under cover, on a porch or beneath a marquee, is fine, because the UV-cured print is scratch- and water-resistant, but the wood itself is not made for a season of rain. If the sign lives outdoors permanently, choose a weatherproof board such as Dibond or Foamex instead.
How many plywood signs can I order for next-day delivery?
From one sign to ten of the same design on a single line; add another line to the basket for a second design, and everything ships together. There is no fixed cap tied to the delivery speed, but a large custom order is worth a quick message before you pay so we can confirm the day.
What does next-day delivery of a plywood sign cost?
Nothing extra for the sign itself: a 3 mm birch panel is the same price whichever day it prints, and only the chosen delivery speed carries its own charge at checkout. Ordering ahead of a wedding or opening date rather than against a tight deadline? Standard delivery is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £50 (£5.99 below that) and takes 3-5 working days from ordering.
I only have a rough sketch of the wording. What do I need to send to hit the cut-off?
Plywood is upload-only, so we print exactly what is in your PDF rather than laying it out for you. Download the artwork template from the product page, drop your wording, date and logo into it, and export a print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed, then order and approve it by 2.30pm. A person checks every file before it prints, but turning a sketch into finished artwork stays your side of the job.
Can I use artwork I made with ChatGPT, Canva or another AI tool?
Yes. Every file is checked before it prints, whatever made it. AI images are often made at screen size, so on a larger print they can come out soft: if yours would, we show you which image and you choose to print it as it is, upload a sharper file, or send us the high-resolution images and our studio updates the artwork for you. You can run the same check before you order with our free file check.
