Overview

Desk calendar printing makes sense for the accountant who sends one to every client in December, the garage that leaves one on the counter for regulars, or the recruitment firm whose name sits next to a hiring manager's monitor all year. It is a small gift that keeps working.

Pick a size for the desk it lands on

  • A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm). Tiny footprint. Fits beside a keyboard or on a reception shelf.
  • DL landscape (210 × 99 mm). Wide and low, good for a week-view layout.
  • 148 × 148 mm square. Balanced, with room for a photo above the dates.
  • A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm). The roomiest, for big photos and space to scribble.
  • 297 × 105 mm. A long strip that sits under a monitor.

Desk calendar printing: pages and stand

Each page is 250gsm silk: smooth, lightly sheened and firm enough to flip over month after month without tearing. The stand is a 380gsm matt tent board, a thick folded board that keeps the whole thing upright on a shiny desk. Put your logo and phone number on every page, so they stay in view whatever the month.

Quantities and timing

Order 30, 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1,000. A small firm might send 30 to its best clients; a bigger business might mail 500 with its Christmas cards. The more you order, the less each costs.

These are made to order and dispatched from the UK: Express from 8 working days, Standard from 10, once your order and artwork are confirmed. For a December mail-out, order in good time.

Questions

Quick answers about desk calendar printing.

How fast can I have my desk calendar order?

Pick Standard (10 working days) or Express (8 working days); that is the time before it leaves us. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Highlands mainland addresses add £10; Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted first.

Should I send pages or spreads for my desk calendar order?

Single pages, in reading order, all in one PDF with 3 mm bleed round each page. Keep text at least 3 mm inside the trim.

Will you tell me if something is wrong with my file?

We will. Every upload for your desk calendar order is checked by a person for resolution, size, bleed and the page count, and you hear from us before anything is printed. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.

What materials are the desk calendars made from?

Each page is 250gsm silk, smooth with a gentle sheen. The base is 380gsm matt tent board, sturdy enough to keep the calendar standing on a desk.

Which size is right for my desk calendar order?

A6 (148 × 105 mm) and DL (210 × 99 mm) sit happily on a busy desk. A5 (210 × 148 mm) and 148 × 148 mm leave more room for photos, while 297 × 105 mm is long and slim for a shelf or counter.

What is the fewest desk calendars I can order?

The minimum is 30. Larger runs go 50, then 100, then 250, 500 and 1,000, and the cost of each calendar comes down the more you order.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of Desk Calendars?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A6 landscape · 148 × 105 mm, Desk Calendars come to £134.12. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. At £134.12 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for Desk Calendars?

Allow 10 working days on Standard or 8 on Express before Desk Calendars are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of Desk Calendars?

Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. The opening price of £134.12 already clears that line. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.

How do I put the pages together in one file for these calendars?

Count your pages first: the total must be a multiple of four, since each sheet gives four pages once folded, so plan blanks or notes pages if you are short. Then export one PDF with single pages in the order a reader sees them, each with 3 mm bleed. Keep text at a safe distance of 5 mm or more from the spine and the cut edges. Make the artwork for these calendars the same size as the one you order, such as A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm).

Which artwork services are offered with Desk Calendars?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. Make the artwork for these calendars the same size as the one you order, such as A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm).

Which is the smallest and which the biggest calendar I can order here?

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) costs from £134.12; at the top, 297 × 105 mm costs from £154.28. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for these calendars is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Before delivery, these calendars cost from £134.12.

How many Desk Calendars can I buy at one time?

Anything from 30 to 1000. The quantity choices on the page run 30, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 1000, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Before delivery, these calendars cost from £134.12.

Could you price an A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) calendar for me?

From £147.56 for 30, with the cheapest settings and the Standard service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, these calendars cost from £134.12.

Is there a minimum quantity for Desk Calendars?

Yes. You can start at 30, with 50, 100, 250 and 500 as the next steps. Each price is the total for that quantity, so divide it to compare the cost of one item across a few options before deciding. For an amount outside the list, ask for a quote. Before delivery, these calendars cost from £134.12.

And the largest calendar, 297 × 105 mm: how much is that one?

From £154.28 for 30, with the cheapest settings and the Standard service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each calendar is made to order for you.

Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, these calendars cost from £134.12.

Our event is close. Can Desk Calendars be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and Desk Calendars can be on the way in 8 working days on the opening option, for £147.53, where Standard is £134.12 and takes 10 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for these calendars go from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) at the small end to 297 × 105 mm, 3 in all.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these calendars?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So a 297 × 105 mm layout wants about 3,508 by 1,240 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Sizes for these calendars go from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) at the small end to 297 × 105 mm, 3 in all.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Make the artwork for these calendars the same size as the one you order, such as A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm).

Can I send a Word or Canva file for Desk Calendars?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for these calendars the same size as the one you order, such as A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm).

How many pages can I choose for Desk Calendars?

Straight from the details for Desk Calendars: 250gsm silk. The rest of the spec sits in the Specifications tab further down the page. Want it done another way? Describe it in the question box or on our quote form, and a person will let you know if it can be done.

Where do Desk Calendars and Folded Wall Planners differ?

Set Desk Calendars beside Folded Wall Planners and a few things differ. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm), and 2 on the other, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm). Opening price: £134.12 on this page and £102.02 on the other. On the Standard service it is 10 working days on this page and 6 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

How would I decide between Promotional Wall Calendars and Desk Calendars?

Comparing Desk Calendars with Promotional Wall Calendars, this is what changes. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm), and 3 on the other, the smallest A5 (148 × 210 mm). Opening price: £134.12 on this page and £55.94 on the other. On the Standard service it is 10 working days on this page and 8 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Should I get Desk Calendars, or would Wiro Bound Wall Calendars suit me better?

Comparing Desk Calendars with Wiro Bound Wall Calendars, this is what changes. Sizes: 3 on this page, the smallest A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm), and 5 on the other, the smallest A5 (148 × 210 mm). Opening price: £134.12 on this page and £47.24 on the other. On the Standard service it is 10 working days on this page and 4 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Can I send these calendars back if I no longer need them?

If they arrive faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each calendar is made to order for you.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Sizes for these calendars go from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) at the small end to 297 × 105 mm, 3 in all.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place. Sizes for these calendars go from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) at the small end to 297 × 105 mm, 3 in all.

I am not sure which options to pick for these calendars. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the calendar will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each calendar is made to order for you.

Next year we will want the same calendar again. Is reordering easy?

Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Save the final print file somewhere safe, as that makes a repeat order a two-minute job. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Sizes for these calendars go from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) at the small end to 297 × 105 mm, 3 in all.

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding Desk Calendars to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for these calendars is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each calendar is made to order for you.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each calendar is made to order for you.

Who looks after me once I have bought Desk Calendars?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and Desk Calendars are made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

Our club needs a big batch of calendars, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need them and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. Before delivery, these calendars cost from £134.12.

Can I pay for Desk Calendars by card as a guest?

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making these calendars once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these calendars cost from £134.12.

I am ordering these calendars for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?

No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Before delivery, these calendars cost from £134.12.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Standard and these calendars leave us after 10 working days; Express brings that down to 8.

Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?

CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while printed items reflect it. Sizes for these calendars go from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) at the small end to 297 × 105 mm, 3 in all.

I am a parent volunteer with no design experience. Can I still order these calendars?

You do not need to be a designer, and nobody expects a parent or a club helper to be one. Or choose typesetting for £15 and send us your text and logo; you get a first draft and up to two rounds of changes. A second pair of eyes on the spelling always helps. Make the artwork for these calendars the same size as the one you order, such as A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm).

Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?

Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order Desk Calendars. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.

How should we keep these calendars in good condition until we need them?

Store paper and card lying flat, in the box it arrived in, in a dry spot out of sunlight and away from radiators. Moisture makes sheets curl and can cause jams in a printer, and strong light fades the colours over time. Only take out what you need, so the rest stays clean. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each calendar is made to order for you.

Can these calendars go in the recycling bin afterwards?

In most cases, yes, because unlaminated paper and card can go straight into your paper recycling. Foiled, laminated or plastic items are a different matter: they are harder to recycle and councils treat them differently, so look up your local rules first. Taking lamination off the order is the simplest way to keep it easy to recycle. Sizes for these calendars go from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) at the small end to 297 × 105 mm, 3 in all.
