Size is measured in inches (except for Banners).
Your artwork must be submitted in this size plus bleed. For more information please go to Bleed & Safe Area.
If your product includes folding, this is the size before folding.
Catalogs/Magazines and Calendars are not considered folded products. Their size refers to one page.
Each paper we offer is a good choice for the product. You often have the option between lighter and heavier papers. Papers also come with different coatings.
For more information, see our Paper Guide.
Note that some papers increase production time, as listed in Turnaround Times.
Here you may select either glossy or matt for your printed object.
Coated paper (also known as art print or photo image paper) is a specially manufactured paper, which has a surface that is refined with a coating that can be either matt or glossy. This gives the paper a more refined, smoother and more stable surface, which enables a high level of detail reproduction and printing quality.
Glossy coated:
glossy coated art print paper is produced by adding a subsequent glazing. Glazing refers to the post-treatment of the paper in a calender after production, also known as calendering. The paper runs through several roller pairs, which have various hardness levels and are made of different materials. The "iron effect" which is created gives the paper surface more smoothness and shine. Glossy art print paper types ensure brilliant colour results and pin sharp contrasts.
Matt-coated:
The character of the matt-coated art print paper guarantees a reflection-free image reproduction with a colour reproduction rich in contrast and facilitates excellent legibility. Matt art print papter is used for more subtle printing projects and gives a refined impression.
Whether to choose matt or glossy coated are print paper is ultimately a matter of personal taste and application range. However, the glossy coated art print paper distinguishes itself with better processability and significantly shorter drying times (after printing) compared to the matt coated art print paper.
Saddle stitch calendars are printed 4/4 (front and back of the sheet), and can be compared to a magazine: If you order a 11" x 8.5" sized saddle stitch calendar, it will be 11" x 8.5" when it's closed, and have the double size 11" x 17" when the calendar is opened. If you order this style with a drill hole (optional) to allow hanging the calendar on a wall, it will be visible on the bottom of the calendar cover and on top and bottom of each opened page.
Select the spiral color.

Smart Ways to Save on Custom Desk Calendar Printing
How to Choose the Right Printing Options for Desk Calendars
- Use bulk printing to reduce unit costs: Ordering higher volumes of bulk desk calendars significantly lowers your cost per unit. This is ideal for multi-location businesses or large-scale client campaigns.
- Select digital printing for short runs: For smaller quantities, digital printing offers great quality without the setup costs of offset printing. It's ideal for personalized or regional versions.
- Go for standard sizes and templates: Choosing standard table top calendar designs and free templates helps you avoid custom setup fees. It also speeds up production without sacrificing professionalism.
- Print only what you need: Estimate your true distribution needs before ordering. This prevents unnecessary inventory and keeps your custom desk calendar printing campaign efficient.
Tabletop Calendar Design Tips for Maximum Brand Impact
- Keep the design clean and brand-focused: A minimalist layout puts your brand front and center. Fewer distractions also reduce design time and help maintain a polished, professional look.
- Use consistent brand colors and fonts: Consistency across all materials boosts brand recognition. Applying your brand guidelines ensures visual coherence and saves time during reviews.
- Limit full-page graphics: While attractive, full-page imagery increases ink costs. Balance visuals with space for notes to create functional, budget-friendly personalized desk calendars.
- Include functional planning elements: Add features like note sections, task checkboxes, or mini monthly overviews to make your customizable desk calendar more useful. Practical layouts increase daily engagement—and a well-used calendar means more brand exposure.
Additional Tips for Affordable Bulk Desk Calendars
- Plan and order early: Early orders help you avoid rush charges and seasonal price increases. This also provides time for proofing and revisions, ensuring quality results.
- Partner with a print provider experienced in B2B needs: For large-scale orders like bulk desk calendars, it's helpful to work with a printing partner familiar with business timelines, customization, and volume pricing. Clear communication and reliable support reduce the risk of delays and unexpected costs.
- Bundle calendars with other materials: Combine your desk calendars with brochures, year planners, or other calendar printing solutions to save on shipping and design costs.
- Schedule production during off-peak months: High demand near year-end can drive up prices and limit availability. Planning your custom desk calendar printing during quieter months may give you access to better pricing and more flexible production timelines.
