Wall Calendars

Our minimum order quantity is 10. This online quote page will automatically apply a volume discount, i.e. larger quantities will get a cheaper unit price.

These are the standard size calendars that you can choose from:

• A5 - 148 x 210
• A4 - 210 x 297mm
• A4 - 297 x 420mm

We can manufacture custom sizes where technically possible, please have a chat with the helpdesk on 01452 751900 to discuss.

We can also do a huge range of customised variations and options, including different formats, different materials, foiling, laminating, etc. You can have pretty much anything that you want. Please contact the helpdesk on 01452 751900 to discuss the options you want. Some options may only make financial sense if you are having quite a few calendars manufactured for you.

You can choose from:

• 12 Pages. No front cover, no back cover, just 12 pages printed full colour one side on 150gsm silk art paper, wire bound at the top with a calendar hanger.
• 13 Pages. One front cover on 200gsm silk art paper printed full colour one side, no back cover, inner 12 pages printed full colour one side on 150gsm silk art paper, wire bound at the top with a calendar hanger.
• 14 Pages. Front and back covers on 200gsm silk art paper printed full colour one side. Calendars bound with back cover printed side facing outwards by default. Let the Helpdesk know if you need anything different. Inner 12 pages printed full colour one side on 150gsm silk art paper, wire bound at the top with a calendar hanger.

Our "standard" calendars that you can order online are printed on Triple coated silk paper. This is a silk paper similar to the ones that you see in magazines and illustrated "coffee" table books. It is quite matt with a slight sheen. If you would like us to use a different paper, or a different weight of paper, please have a chat with the helpdesk on 01452 751900.

You can choose from:

• Black
• Silver
• White

We can order in different coloured wires for your calendar, but as this comes on a large spool of thousands of loops, this may only be cost effective for larger quantities.

Portrait means that the width is less than the height, landscape means that the width is greater than the height. Think of paintings on a wall, landscape paintings tend to be wider than they are tall, portraits tend to be narrower than they are tall.

With wall calendars, the wire and hanger is on the short edge for portrait orientation and the long edge for landscape orientation.

We can only bind A3 calendars on the short edge.

This print service is from your own calendar artwork. You have complete freedom to design your calendar in the way it suits you. However, sometimes people just want to add pictures, etc. and don't want to design the part of the calendar with all the dates in it! If this is you, select this option and we will overlay a generic UK calendar (for the next year) for you. You will need to leave a space in your artwork for this, please read the artwork preparation guide for more details.

PDF (online soft proof). This is a technical process to check that your artwork is printable and to prepare it for printing as far as possible. We aim to provide your soft proof within 4 working hours and you will get an email notification when it is ready. This may take longer during our busy periods.

The PDF that you send us (your artwork) has a pre-flight check carried out and a number of automatic corrections may also be made if necessary. The resulting soft proof is a PDF that is viewable through your admin area of the web site. It is very important that you carefully review your soft proof and the pre-flight report that we send to you.

If your artwork fails our preflight checks you will not get a proof, but you will get a report letting you know what is wrong with your file. You can then fix the problem and resubmit your artwork.

We may warn you about potential problems with your artwork. In this case, your artwork CAN be printed and you will get a proof to check. You should carefully check the warnings in your report before deciding whether to proceed or submit new artwork.

Your first soft proof is included in the price of your order. If you find that you need to make alterations to your artwork and ask us to create another proof, we may make a small charge for each additional soft proof. Please contact the helpdesk to arrange payment if you need additional proofs.

Remember, this is a technical file check, we don't proof read your work or critique your design!

Hard copy proof.

This is a single physical copy of your calendar. When you select this option, your artwork will go through exactly the same steps as a soft copy proof and in fact you will also get a soft proof available to view through the web site. Do not approve this before you have examined your hard copy!

Please remember that you will have to pay for your order before we can manufacture your hard copy proof. You can cancel your order after recieving your hardcopy proof, but you will be charged for the hardcopy proof and the remainder of your payment will be refunded.

We will try to get your hardcopy proof out to you as soon as possible, but it can take up to 5 working days for us to despatch. If you need to expedite your hard copy proof, please call the helpdesk to discuss. They may be able to suggest ways to speed up this process, for instance you may wish to see only the printed sheets and not wait for the calendar to be bound.

These are working days to print. Our standard print service for calendars is 5 working days to print. You can pay a premium if you want your order on the faster 2 day to print service.

Whilst the majority of all orders leave on time, Print Service time is an estimate, not a guarantee. If your order has a hard deadline, for example you are ordering for an event and there is no contingency built in to your schedule for delays, you must let the helpdesk know!

It is exceptionally rare for an express (2 day) service order not to leave on time, but sometimes events (for example flooding or power cuts) are outside of our control.

Please remember to add transit (delivery) time to this and remember that these are working days to print and do not include weekends or bank holidays.

Unless you approve your order by 10am, the day that you approve your proof does not count in the time to print.

We cannot schedule your job to print until you have approved your proof. If you do not have a credit account with us, you will also need to pay for your job before we can schedule your job to print

Delivery is normally the next working day AFTER the job has been despatched. Working days are Monday-Friday, excluding Bank Holidays. You can pay extra for a Saturday delivery.

Fill in the full postcode of where this is being sent to so that we can work out a price and check whether we deliver to this area. You'll fill in the full delivery address later once you've placed your order. Remember, this is only for the UK Mainland, if you would like us to send your printing elsewhere, please call the Helpdesk for a price. We do not ship to the USA.

You must upload your artwork as a PDF file.

Please make sure that you read the artwork preparation guide before sending us your artwork.

If you need help with preparing your artwork, please read the artwork preparation guide first. If you have any other questions, call the helpdesk on 01452 751900.
