Create Your Magazines
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.

We have been regular customers with Print Safari for more than five years now. Our last order was the best yet. The materials (magazines) were beautifully printed (as usual) and the shipment arrived early and in perfect order! We are always appreciative of Print Safari and their great products and customer service.

Smart Strategies for Creating Affordable and Effective Magazines
Cost-effective printing decisions to minimize costs without compromising quality
- Stick to the standard. Choose one of the common formats for your magazine to optimize printing costs and ensure compatibility with standard shipping requirements.
- When determining the page count, keep the number 4 in mind. A final page count that is divisible by 4 helps prevent paper waste and thus reduces costs.
- Optimize image resolution. Balance quality with file size to avoid unnecessary printing issues.
- Keep an eye on the weight. Choose the appropriate paper weight for the content and cover based on the total thickness of your magazine. This will help you plan distribution costs effectively.
Maximizing print quality and impact
- Focus on image quality. Choose clear, high-contrast images so that your photos and graphics can be reproduced professionally in print.
- Bring some color into the mix. Let your chosen brand colors run like a common thread throughout the magazine. This helps with brand recognition and navigation.
- Design without limits. With a page layout that extends all the way to the edges, your magazine will have a professional and modern look.
- Add special touches. Make your magazine shine with elegant finishing options such as glossy highlights or metallic effects.
Quality steps for perfect results
- One last thorough check. Take advantage of our proofreading service for a final content review of your magazine. Once production has begun, any corrections will incur additional costs.
- For that first impression. Have a printed proof made so that everything looks exactly as you envisioned it and feels just right.
- Built to Last. Using state-of-the-art production technology, we ensure that your magazine stays perfectly bound and doesn’t fall apart.
- It looks great from cover to cover. The colors and design remain consistent from the first page to the last - thanks to our state-of-the-art printing processes.
