If you've placed your first custom order, you're probably wondering: how long does it take to make a custom resin piece? The honest answer depends on the item, the curing process, and whether it involves preserving your own flowers, but here's a realistic breakdown.
Why Resin Takes Time to Make Properly
Resin isn't an instant material. After pouring, it needs adequate curing time to harden fully and achieve its glass-like clarity and strength. Rushing this process by removing a piece from its mould too early can lead to a soft, tacky, or uneven finish, so patience is part of what makes a quality piece.
Typical Timelines by Product Type
| Product | Approximate Timeline |
|---|---|
| Resin keychain or small accessory | 3-5 working days |
| Resin earrings or jewelry | 4-7 working days |
| Resin coasters or trays | 5-8 working days |
| Varmala or bouquet preservation | 2-4 weeks (includes flower drying time) |
| Large custom resin art or nameplates | 1-3 weeks depending on complexity |
Why Flower Preservation Takes Longer
- Drying time: Fresh flowers need to be carefully dried before they can be set in resin, which alone can take 1-2 weeks depending on the flower type.
- Layout and design: Arranging petals aesthetically inside a mould takes skill and time to get right.
- Multiple curing layers: Larger preservation pieces often require pouring resin in layers, each needing its own curing time.
How to Plan Around Production Time
- Order flower preservation pieces as soon as possible after your event, ideally within a few days.
- For gifts tied to a specific date, order at least 2-3 weeks in advance.
- For bulk or wedding-scale orders, build in a 4-6 week buffer.

Why does varmala preservation take longer than a keychain?
Preservation involves properly drying flowers before setting them in resin, which takes considerably more time than a simple resin pour.
Will rushing the process affect quality?
Yes, insufficient curing time can lead to a soft or uneven finish, so we always allow adequate time for each piece.
How soon after my wedding should I send my flowers for preservation?
As soon as possible, ideally within a few days, for the best colour and shape retention.
