How Much Molding Can a Shop Produce in a Week?

Production output depends on profile size, material, and required finish, but most professional molding shops—including Loxaco—can produce significant volume even when the workflow is optimized for short-run flexibility.

Typical Output

A typical short-run molding shop can run thousands of linear feet per day depending on:
Profile complexity
Material species
Number of profile changes
Knife type
Running speed

Loxaco currently runs between 25,000 and 30,000 lineal feet a week.  We have structured production so multiple short-run jobs can be completed in the same week without affecting turnaround.

Full-House Packages

A full molding package for a custom home generally requires close to two weeks due to:

Multiple profiles
Higher total footage
Species changes
Greater inspection requirements

Why Output Matters

Understanding production capacity helps builders:

Plan schedules
Request accurate delivery dates
Manage trades on site
Order moldings closer to installation time

Summary

Most short-run moldings are completed within a week because the required footage is manageable and the workflow is tailored to small and mid-size projects.
