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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What paper options are available for magazine printing?
We offer various paper options ranging from standard to premium stocks. Common choices include gloss, matte, and uncoated papers. The paper weight and finish can be selected based on your magazine's style and budget requirements. Our team can help you choose the best option for your specific needs.
What binding methods are available for magazines?
We offer several binding options including perfect binding (giving a square spine like a paperback book) and saddle stitching (stapled through the spine). The choice depends on your page count, budget, and desired look. Perfect binding is ideal for thicker magazines, while saddle stitching works well for publications under 64 pages.
What is the minimum quantity for magazine orders?
For some sizes, our minimum order starts at 1 copy. However, we recommend larger quantities to optimize cost-efficiency, as the per-unit price decreases significantly with higher volumes. This allows you to maximize your budget while maintaining premium quality.
What is the typical turnaround time for magazine printing?
Standard turnaround time for magazines is 7-10 business days after proof approval. Rush options are available for tighter deadlines. The exact timeline depends on factors like quantity, binding method, and finishing options.
