A calendar is a very useful souvenirthat can be seen almost everywhere: in the office, school, homes, shops, and in some places even several at the same time. Despite the availability of various applications in mobile phones, people need printed calendars for time management, appointment reminders and birthdays. Pros of the calendar:

  • limitless design possibilities and first-class images;
  • large space for branding, infographics and any useful information;
  • relatively low production cost ;
  • long operating time

Design rules

Calendars can be a good gift to clients or partners, if you approach the design creatively. For example, for a veterinary clinic, a win-win option would be to place photos of animals in funny poses on the calendar. A hotel or travel agency can choose the most beautiful scenery at different times of the year. Photographers - post your photos and reminders about holiday photo shoots. Bright images on calendars look attractive

  • make sure that your logo is printed on every sheet;
  • it would be a good idea to place contact information on all pages . It will always be in front of your eyes, unlike business cards. It is important to provide links to the website and indicate how to find you on social networks;
  • add a call to action, for example, invitations to seasonal events, special offers;
  • a fairly interesting option - various infographics.

Calendars - very common productsso there will be no problems with printing, including when ordering online. Many resources offer ready-made templates and grids.

However, you need to decide in advance on the format, material and printed small “pocket” calendars can be produced in large quantities for relatively little money. Poster calendars have the same advantage, but with the added benefit of a larger area for images or content. Flip calendars (desktop or wall) offer the most creative space, offering multiple pages.

Whichever option you choose, make sure you find a reliable calendar manufacturer who will provide excellent print quality and can offer additional finishing, for example, relief varnishing or die-cutting.

Die-cutting of a non-standard shape is a winning option
