Top Tips:

  • Plan Ahead:
    The best time to order desk calendars is well before the start of the new year. This ensures timely delivery and maximum distribution.
  • Include Key Dates:
    Mark important industry-specific dates, company events or school holiday dates to add more value for your customers.
  • Ensure Consistent Branding:
    Position your logo, contact details, and website prominently on each page. This subtle yet effective repetition keeps your brand top-of-mind without overwhelming the design.
  • Incorporate Interactive Elements:
    QR codes or short links leading to exclusive online content, seasonal promotions, or behind-the-scenes insights can extend the value of your desk calendar and encourage interaction.
  • Proofread Your Content:
    Always double-check for any mistakes before sending your files for print. High-quality design paired with flawless content ensures the best results.
  • Use High-Quality Images:
    Desk calendars are a visual medium, so make sure to use high-resolution images for the best print quality (300dpi or more). Low-quality images can look pixelated and diminish the professional look of your calendars.
  • Check Bleed and Safezones:
    Ensure your design includes a 3mm bleed to avoid any unwanted white borders or cut-off text by applying a minimum 15mm safezone margin on the top bound edge. Use our Design Support service, where we will guide you to 'How to Design' videos and or offer you design support via our experienced team.
  • Print Extra Calendars:
    It's always better to have a few extra copies than to run out. Ordering in bulk can also save re-print costs, so estimate your needs carefully.
