That's an excellent question, and the answer can vary quite a bit depending on the specifics of your project. Generally speaking, for a standard custom urban trash bin, you can expect a lead time of approximately 4 to 8 weeks from the moment the order is confirmed and the design is finalized.
Several key factors influence this timeline. The complexity of your design is a major one. A simple color change on an existing model is naturally much faster than creating a completely new shape with unique features like specialized openings, integrated ash trays, or custom branding. The material you choose also plays a role; steel bins might have different processing steps than those made from plastic or concrete.
Furthermore, the quantity you order significantly impacts the schedule. A small batch for a pilot program will be produced faster than a large order for a city-wide rollout. Finally, don't forget to account for the time needed for the initial design consultation, prototype approval (if required), and final quality checks before shipping.
