Two Ways to Deliver: Air vs. Sea EcoPrinting not only provides high-quality book and package printing services for global clients, but also offers a variety of shipping options to meet different needs.
When you print with us, you don’t need to worry about shipping. We analyze your time schedule and budget to provide the best shipping recommendation. To ensure your packages arrive in perfect condition, we use strong, reliable packing methods.
Air Shipping Best for: Small orders under 50 kg, urgent shipments
Air shipping is the fastest option. Your books can reach your door in approximately 1 week . For smaller quantities or time-sensitive orders, air freight offers convenience and speed without the long wait.
Express shipping (DHL, FedEx, UPS) is available for urgent needs — delivery typically takes 5–7 working days .
Sea Shipping Best for: Large bulk orders over 50 kg, cost-sensitive shipments
Sea shipping takes longer but is significantly more affordable for larger volumes. We ship from Shenzhen to destinations worldwide.

For most large orders, sea freight is the most cost-effective choice. Shipping costs depend on package weight and the shipping method you choose. Contact our sales team for an accurate quote based on your order.
