Custom Calendars on Recycled Paper

Eco Friendly Printer prints custom wall and desk calendars on 100% post-consumer recycled, FSC-certified stock with soy-based inks. A calendar is a promotional piece that people keep on display for a full year, which makes it a good choice for businesses and organizations that want to stay in front of their clients.

Formats and binding

Wall calendars are usually Wire-O or saddle-stitch bound and hole-punched for hanging. Desk calendars use an easel back so they stand on a desk or counter, and poster calendars fit a full year on one sheet. Calendars can be packed ready to mail.

Common calendar sizes

• Wall calendars: often 8.5 x 11 in, opening to 11 x 17 in when hung, or 12 x 12 in.
• Desk calendars: small easel-back or tent formats that sit on a desk or counter.
• Poster calendars: a full year on one sheet, such as 11 x 17 in or 18 x 24 in.

Other sizes can be quoted. Our calendar size guide covers page counts, binding and file setup, and our poster sizes guide lists standard poster dimensions.

What to include

A typical wall calendar has a cover, twelve months and room for your logo, contact details and website on every page. Add holidays, local events or monthly offers to give people a reason to keep looking at it.

Planning your schedule

Calendars need to be in people's hands before the year starts, so we plan the schedule backward from your in-hands date. Let us know when you need the calendars delivered or mailed, and we will tell you when the artwork needs to be ready.

How ordering works

Send us the format, quantity and page count, along with your artwork or the date it will be ready. We will confirm the paper, the binding and a price. Most calendar orders are ready in one to two weeks from artwork approval.

Common questions about calendar printing

When should I order calendars for next year?

Start with the date the calendars need to be in hand and work backward. Most orders are ready one to two weeks after artwork approval, so allow time for design and proofing before that.

Can you pack calendars for mailing?

Yes. Calendars can be hole-punched and packed ready to mail.

Are custom calendars a good promotional item?

Yes. A calendar stays on a wall or desk all year, so your name and contact details are seen every day, which few other printed pieces can offer.
