Our range of calendar printing options
At QinPrinting, we provide a comprehensive range of calendar printing services. We have digital machines, too, which we use only to prepare “hard proofs” to check color, printing quality, and so on. But the final print run will always be on the superior offset press. Offset printing gives you beautiful calendars with high-definition color or black-and-white image reproduction and a significant price advantage on longer print runs.
Short run calendar printing
Short run calendar printing is a great option tailored to the needs of entrepreneurs, small businesses and self-publishers. When you don’t need thousands of copies at once — but you appreciate the superior quality of an offset printed calendar — short run printing is a perfect solution. Unlike most printers — who demand minimum offset print orders of at least 500 to 1,000 copies — we’re happy to provide offset services for a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of only 100 copies. So, you can enjoy a superior quality calendar with the price advantages of offset printing, even with a short print run.
Portrait, landscape, over-sized, and custom formats
While most of our clients choose standard sizes and formats for the calendar designs—and they have sound commercial reasons—you can opt for a fully customized calendar solution if you wish. Only consider that unusual custom prints will cost a little more and take a little longer to turn around than standard sizes because of the extra pre-press and setup work involved. But if you want it, we will print it!
Gloss, matte, uncoated, and specialty paper
You have many options for paper stock to print your calendar at QinPrinting. Most calendars with photographic components use gloss or matte art paper because they have a high-quality finish which gives first-class image reproduction. But you’re not limited to these typical selections.
You can also choose from our specialty paper stocks such as linen finish, vellum, or other textures. Opting for a specialty stock can affect your pricing, but it may be worth it to give certain high-end calendar projects an outstanding, unique look and feel.
Choosing paper and card stock can confuse, but our printing experts are always here to recommend the best paper selections for your calendar and your budget.
Special finishes, lamination, and foil stamping
Not all calendars have cover sheets, but most do. Your calendar’s cover is the first thing that a client or potential customer sees, so it must make a fantastic impression. Someone browsing your stand at a trade fair, picking up a calendar in-store, or opening their direct mail gift calendar, is more likely to check it out if it displays an eye-catching cover. QinPrinting offers a complete range of finishing options to make your calendar uniquely eye-catching and attractive.
Among other options, the most popular choices include:
We can also incorporate a custom die-cut into your calendar’s cover to increase its visual impact. With die-cutting, we machine-cut a shape out of the cover material with a sort of industrial cookie cutter. For example, to create a ‘window’ to an illustration underneath.
Our most popular calendar formats and binding options
Your choice of binding will depend on your calendar’s style, format, and your personal taste. Given such a considerable array of choice, we’re happy to help you pick the best calendar binding option for your needs. Let’s have a quick look at the possibilities.
Saddle stitch binding
If your calendar has 24 pages and four pages in the cover, saddle stitching is a popular and economical binding method that may suit your needs. If your calendar is booklet-like, designed to be carried around and consulted on the move, then take advantage of saddle stitch binding. Saddle stitching binds the pages and cover together with specially designed staples. This is also an ideal option for a wall-hanging calendar and we can combine a drilled hole—that runs evenly through all the pages—making it easy to hang in the office, the workshop, or at home.
Wire-O binding
Wire-O binding uses a technique known as “punch-and-bind”. We punch or drill equally spaced holes along one of the outer edges of the calendar’s pages. We then insert a flexible wire—wound into a double series of circular hoops—through the holes. The wire coil holds the pages together while allowing them to turn independently even through 360° and, of course, lay completely flat. We can laminate the pages to make them tougher and water-resistant. For wall-hanging calendars, we can incorporate a special loop into the coil.
Our most popular calendar formats are:
Wall calendars
The most common calendar of them all, designed to hang up anywhere there’s a hook; in the office, in the workshop, laboratory, or at home. These calendars are versatile, easy to use, and visually appealing.
Desk pad calendars
Practical and stylish, you can find a desk pad calendar on almost every executive workstation across the US and the world. For this reason, they’re extremely popular and also make great corporate gifts. Desk pad calendars are also a hugely popular choice for many of our Amazon third-party retail clients who find they’re always hot sellers in their online stores.
Folded three-month calendars
Many businesses, academic, and arts institutions work on a three-month or seasonal cycle. This style is ideal for such needs and makes long term planning “at a glance” a total breeze.
Desk calendars
Made to stand up in a stable triangulated formation, and angled for easy sightlines, these robust and smart-looking calendar solutions mean you can check dates, appointments, and more just by flicking your eyes up from the desktop without squinting at the wall or flicking through pages.
Notebook calendars
Calendars should be beautiful, but they must be practical, too. The notebook calendar answers both requirements. Stylish and portable, this is the perfect calendar for the person on the move.
