What is the cheapest way to print calendars?
The price for the calendar will mostly depend on its type, the paper it uses, and the number of pages. Thus, among these types, the cheapest would be the saddle-stitched calendar, followed by the wire-o bound calendar, and then comes the desktop calendar. The three-month calendar is the most expensive due to the page count and complexity of its production.
With the cheapest paper option, 80gsm paper, and printing only 12 pages, 100 A4-sized saddle-stitched calendars would cost just $183 ($1.83 per calendar). However, if you print 1,000 copies, the total price would only be $311 ($0.311 per calendar), one-sixth the unit price of the former. This is the beauty of offset printing: the more you print, the cheaper the cost per unit.
If you prefer high-quality calendars, then you should go for premium paper.
Following is a price chart for 24-page standard saddle-stitch calendar printing options:

What Our Clients Say
I approached Qin to print my full-color, educational children's book. We went through extensive discussions regarding specifications, paper quality, binding, cover finishes, and production requirements.
I supplied the complete print-ready files, and after considerable back-and-forth, the proofs were finally approved. I was preparing to proceed with payment when I was suddenly informed that Qin could not print my book because it contained maps of India.
According to Qin, its facility was unable to print products containing maps due to restrictions in China, and it could not proceed with the order unless I removed or modified the maps.
These maps are an integral part of an educational book about India. Removing them was never an acceptable option.
What I found particularly frustrating is that this issue was identified only AFTER the entire design and proof approval process, when I was ready to make payment. This should have been identified and communicated at the very beginning, before I invested so much time preparing files and working through the production process.
Despite asking whether alternative production arrangements were possible, Qin ultimately informed me that it could not offer a solution.
I entrusted the company with my complete book files, original artwork, illustrations, layouts, and other intellectual property. I am now seeking written confirmation that these materials will remain confidential and will not be reproduced, shared, or used for any other purpose.
A printing partner should be able to identify production limitations upfront, communicate transparently, and offer reasonable alternatives where possible.
Unfortunately, this experience fell significantly short of my expectations. I would strongly encourage other authors and publishers to obtain written confirmation that their complete projects can be printed as submitted BEFORE sharing extensive production files or proceeding with proof approvals.
My experience printing a very important book with Qin was excellent and exceeded expectations. From the moment i reached out till the day i recieved my production shipments (a several month process), they have been quick to respond, creative to troubleshoot issues, and highly efficient on cost and timelines. My deliveries arrived in amazing shape (book quality is exceptional), as approved and as expected, and even earlier than expected. Thank you Qin for a job WELL DONE A-Z!
Nelson Zhao was my contact throughout, and he answered every technical question directly. When I asked about ink limits for Japan Color 2001 Coated, he recommended 290% total ink coverage for my shadow-heavy images and explained why. He offered two proofing options: a press test run of 8 pages, and inkjet hard proofs at $1 per page. I used both across three proof rounds. When a shipment of proofs came back wrong, it was corrected promptly.
Their designer checked every file before production, and Nelson explained each step of the process: PDF proofs, invoice, payment options with the fees laid out, production, and freight. He gave honest answers on timing, including the real odds of a customs inspection, rather than just reassurance.
Ten advance copies came by air, and the full run arrived in 41 boxes right on schedule. The books are beautiful, and the photographs are reproduced accurately.
I recommend QinPrinting to any photographer or publisher who cares about color, care and professionalism.
