Calendar Types & Formats: Comprehensive Guide for Business

Calendars are one of the most popular and useful types of printing. Although everyone has a calendar on their mobile phone, a printed version is much more convenient, especially if you place it next to your workplace. It is one of the most versatile options for branding, and as a result one of the best native advertising tools. This is not a postcard that can be thrown away immediately after reading, and not even a catalog that will be irrelevant in a few months/six months. The calendar will use the year, and during this time it will remind about your brand and present it to possible potential customers.

IN Dnipro printing house Dneprograf you can order different types of calendars:

• overturnable;
• desktop;
• quarterly;

• and in the form of posters.

Each of them has its own characteristics, which you can read about below to determine which option will be optimal for your advertising campaign.

Flip-flops

The most popular format of such calendars is A2, so they are intended for walls. For large calendars, it is important to carefully select high-quality images so that they look attractive in an enlarged format.

The pages can be stapled or springless. Calendars with springs are attached to the wall using bolts, which can be black, white or colored. The cover of calendars and pages must keep their shape, so thick paper is used for them. The months and calendar grid can be printed on thinner paper.

Quarterly

This is another type of wall calendar, and each page has a calendar grid of not one month, but three. This is useful for scheduling work projects and planning.

In addition to the calendar, a window with a slider is attached to immediately see what day it is today. Calendar grids are attached with springs, and attached to the wall with grommets or a bar with a hook.

For blocks with dates, paper with a density of 80-115 g/m2 is suitable, and for the base, a dense cardboard of 300 g/m2.

Calendars-posters

Considering the images can be horizontal or vertical. For poster calendars, thick chalked paper of A3 format is used. Although the dimensions may change at the request of the customer.

Desktop calendars

These are structures in the form of houses, the best format is A5.

Paper with a density of 200-300 g/m2 is suitable for printing pages, and the pages are fastened with springs.

A desktop calendar can be monthly or larger — daily. For dailies, you can add a motivational quote or wish to each page. This is a very popular option recently, given the difficult situation in our country. Daily encouraging words will be useful to everyone!

Besides, it will always be interesting to see what will be written on the next day's page. We recommend this option for those considering branded gift options.
