Here you may select the desired type of binding for your calendars.
The ring binding, also called spiral or wire-O bond, is a classic and popular book binding method which is used for presentations in particular. With a metal wire, a twin spiral is formed, which runs through previously perforated sheets of paper. This is a cheap but also stable binding type. Depending on the book thickness or number of sheets, different spiral diameters are used. This enables the best possible turning over of your printed information.
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.
For catalogs and saddle stitched calendars, pages are available in multiples of 4 because sheets are folded over and bound in the middle, resulting in 4 pages per sheet.
For wire-o calendars, 13 or 14 pages are available.
One way or another, please always set up your print files as single pages and send them in multi-page PDFs.

Top Tips for Creating and Printing Custom Comics
How to Create Visually Stunning Comics
- Plan your layout. Make sure your comic flows seamlessly by designing clear panel layouts that guide the reader’s eye.
- Focus on vibrant colors. Use a mix of bold and subtle tones to bring your illustrations to life and make your characters stand out.
- Choose the right typography. Select fonts that match the tone and style of your comic. Make sure the text is legible and doesn’t clutter the panels.
- Add detailed illustrations. High-quality illustrations with sharp details and depth will make your comic stand out.

Best Practices for Storytelling and Content
- Add suspense to the plot. Use your design to ensure that your narrative is engaging, coherent and flows smoothly from beginning to end.
- Align text with artwork. Make sure your dialogue and narrative complement the images rather than overwhelming them, so that the images retain their impact.
- Keep your audience in mind. Tailor your content, language and comic style so that it resonates with your target readers. The visual language used for children differs from that used for adults or comic book fans.
- Don’t overload the page with details. Leave room for your illustrations while keeping the text short, concise and impactful.
Create Affordable Comics Without Compromising Quality
- Stick to the standard. Choose one of the common formats for your comic book to optimize printing costs and ensure compatibility with standard shipping requirements.
- Limit the number of pages. Focus on a concise narrative style for your comic so that it requires fewer pages. A reduced page count also lowers printing costs.
- Keep an eye on your distribution list. Printing in larger quantities often lowers the cost per unit. Assess your distribution needs and consider placing a bulk order to get the best possible value for your money.
- Print in black and white. Black-and-white comics can be just as captivating as color versions and are significantly cheaper to produce.
