Calendar printing is a highly effective communication tool. By investing in it, your business can stay present with clients throughout the entire year.
What types of calendar printing are available?
Customised calendars are a strong marketing resource with high return, as they represent a communication tool that is delivered directly to your audience. If you produce an attractive and functional calendar, it will be used daily, ensuring your brand remains visible.
Below are the most popular calendar types and the key aspects to consider when printing them:
Pocket calendars
These are carried at all times, typically in a wallet. Pocket calendars are compact (around 9 × 6 cm) and highly practical. In addition to the date layout on one side, the reverse can include an image or your business’s corporate information.
Desk calendars
When targeting professionals and businesses, desk calendars are a highly effective option. They can be 12 separate sheets (one per month), often bound with Wire-O or spiral binding, or a single folded piece forming a triangular base.
Their usefulness depends on functionality: they are typically placed on desks for daily reference and annotations. Some minimalist versions use plastic supports, such as CD-style cases, as a base.
As a promotional tool, they provide a visible space every month that can be customised with your brand.
Wall calendars
Wall calendars serve both practical and decorative purposes. It is important to design them attractively so they are placed in visible locations, whether at home or in the workplace. They can include images, customised texts and commercial messages.
They are usually produced in standard sizes (A3 and A4), although custom formats are also possible. They allow for annotations and can incorporate strong visual content month by month, including the cover page. A well-designed calendar increases brand visibility.
Magnetic calendars
Refrigerators have become a key information point in many households. Many businesses choose magnetic calendars for this reason, ensuring continuous visibility. These calendars are available in a wide range of formats.
Other types of calendars
Calendars can also be classified according to how dates are displayed:
- Daily view: More extensive, with one page per day. Often includes notes, holidays and space for annotations.
- Monthly view: Each page represents one full month, offering a clear and structured overview.
- Quarterly view: Displays three months per page.
- Biannual view: One page per semester.
- Annual view: The full year is displayed on a single page for quick reference.
Materials used in calendar printing. The most common materials include:
- Paper: Available in gloss or matte finishes. Sustainable options are recommended. Additional treatments such as lamination can be applied.
- Cardboard: Provides greater rigidity and is commonly used for desk calendars or structural elements.
