Two layers to thirty-six — and the awkward boards in between.

One plant, all four capability families and an engineering team that reads stack-ups for a living. If your board needs a hybrid dielectric, a 3-stage HDI build and a castellated edge in the same order, it stays in one factory.

Lead timeSet per order after engineering reviews your files — a firm date comes back with the quote, normally within one business day. Typical windows below; expedited builds (from 24 h) priced against your deadline.

Ranges shown are our routine production envelope, not a theoretical maximum. Send the stack-up you actually need and engineering will confirm feasibility — including the parts we would change.

Typical lead times

What "normal" looks like here

These are the windows we hold in routine production, not best-case figures. Every quote carries a firm date against your specific files, and if a build is outside these windows we tell you before you order.

Board typePrototype — fabrication timeProduction (500+ pcs) — fabrication time
2-layer FR-4~5 working days2–3 weeks
4–6 layer FR-47–8 working days2–3 weeks
8–10 layer / impedance-controlled~15 working daysQuoted per build
HDI, high-frequency, rigid-flex & special processes18–25 working daysQuoted per build

Expedited

Need it faster?

For standard FR-4 processes we hold a limited expedited slot each day, priced against your deadline and requirements:

  • 2-layerfrom 24 hours
  • 4-layerfrom 48 hours
  • 6–8 layerfrom 72 hours

Special processes are quoted per build. Send your files with the target date and we'll confirm the same day whether a slot is open — we only promise what the floor can actually hold. These are fabrication times; express transit adds 3–5 days.

All times above are fabrication time only — not the date the boards reach your door. The clock starts when files are released after DFM sign-off. Add 3–5 days for express shipping to the US or EU; your quote states the delivery date at your address.

Layer count & stack-up

A 4-layer control board and a 22-layer backplane are not the same job. Sequential lamination adds press cycles.

Materials

High-frequency and hybrid builds need different lamination profiles and longer conditioning than straight FR-4.

Special processes

Back drilling, castellation, cavities, heavy copper and tight impedance all add dedicated steps.

Finish & quantity

ENEPIG or hard gold take longer than HASL; volume is scheduled against the panel, not the piece count.

01 — Multilayer FR-4

The bread and butter, done without shortcuts

From 4-layer control boards to 22-layer backplanes. Lamination is where a multilayer build is decided — press profiles, bake schedules and incoming laminate are controlled at every stage, so the stack-up holds its dimensions and its electrical performance through assembly and into service.

  • High-Tg and thick copperFor thermal cycling and high-current designs; 2 oz and heavier on request.
  • Impedance-controlled stack-upsCoupon-verified on every lot.
  • Mixed material buildsHigh-frequency cores bonded into an FR-4 stack where the RF section needs it and the budget doesn't allow a full Rogers build.

02 — HDI

Density without yield loss

1 to 3-stage HDI for fine-pitch BGAs, module boards and anything where the component pitch has outgrown the routing space. Laser-drilled microvias, blind and buried vias, resin-plugged via-in-pad — and a DFM pass on pad sizes before tooling starts.

  • 1–3 stage buildsUp to 3-stage HDI, with laser microvias, blind and buried vias and resin-plugged via-in-pad.
  • Via-in-pad with resin pluggingPlanarized and copper-capped, suitable for thermal pads under QFNs.
  • Fine-line imagingLDI exposure in a Class 100,000 cleanroom, on both inner and outer layers.

03 — High-frequency

Rogers where it counts, FR-4 where it doesn't

Full high-frequency builds and hybrid stack-ups: RO4003C, RO4350B, RO3003 or RO4835 bonded to FR-4 or IT180, so the RF section gets the dielectric constant it needs and the rest of the board stays affordable.

  • Hybrid laminationPTFE and hydrocarbon cores bonded to FR-4 without delamination at reflow.
  • Dk/Df-aware stack-upsImpedance targets verified on coupons made from your actual materials.
  • Antenna and RF module boardsTelecom, radar, test equipment and wireless modules.

04 — Rigid-flex & special processes

The orders that need a longer conversation than a price list

Rigid-flex boards, castellated modules, back-drilled high-speed backplanes, metal edge plating, stepped cavities, embedded passives. These are the builds where tooling decisions matter more than price — so we settle them with you before quoting.

  • Rigid-flex and flexCoverlay, stiffeners, and controlled bend areas for compact assemblies.
  • Module-friendly featuresCastellations, half-holes, countersinks and depth-controlled drilling for SMT modules.
  • Back drillingStub removal for high-speed channels, with impedance verification.

If your stack-up isn't on this page, that's usually a conversation, not a no

Send the Gerbers, the material callout and the quantity. Engineering will confirm what's feasible, what isn't, and what we'd change to make it cheaper to build.
