Printing Tips for Calendar Customization

January 23rd, 2012

More companies now resort to calendar printing to promote their products and services. Calendars can be used for an entire year, making your company’s name and logo visible and increasing the recall value of your brand. Additionally, attractive calendars catch the attention of visitors, adding to the list of prospective clients. Therefore, printing consultants at Documedia increasingly recommend this cost-effective promotional material.

Things to Consider While Printing Promotional Calendars

Given below are the elements you should keep in mind while getting an impressive promotional calendar printed:

  • Paper stock

A calendar is a marketing handout that will stay with your customer for many months. Therefore, the paper stock used should be able to withstand prolonged use. Experienced printing consultants recommend two superior quality paper stocks for such purposes, gloss cover and matte finish. While 100-pound gloss stock is ideal for attractive and fun-filled calendar, 70-80 pound matte stock reflects the sophistication of a detail-oriented, high-end calendar.

  • Size

Bigger is definitely better in this case, as calendars that are large in size are often used to decorate walls. A larger calendar is also easily visible to visitors. A good promotional size would be 12 inches by 12 inches.

  • Color detailing

Light colored text on a dark colored base is one of the many color faux pas that one should avoid at the time of printing. Therefore, make sure that the printing professionals calibrate the computer screen and graphic design program. This will ensure that the color on the screen while designing will match the actual ink colors of the finished product. Also, viewing the images of the calendar in Illustrator, Quark, etc, in overprint preview will give you an idea of how the final print will look.

For more such tips and to place printing orders for promotional materials, contact Documedia. They are a team of qualified printing professionals, using the latest technologies and best quality raw materials to provide world class printing services for both professional and private purposes.

One of our valued retail customers presented us with the opportunity to expand our product sales in their stores provided we could adapt our point-of-sale packaging for an immediate roll-out.  Documedia worked with its manufacturing partners to complete the design, production, and delivery of 25,000 full-color prime packaging labels, all within 36 business hours of the call to action.  We were able to meet the new packaging guidelines in the time allotted, proving we were responsive to our customer’s needs, and delivered our product in time for our customer to realize immediate resale revenue.

Thanks Larry and I just wanted to say that it was both easy and efficient to work with you on this order for our new citations.  Thanks so much and I will definitely be using you for our future reorders.

-Sandie Kimball,

My project was to develop a representative “coffee table” book of historical photos and a comprehensive history of my organization in recognition of a major milestone anniversary. Documedia was selected as the printer and publisher for this project, and with the combined efforts of Larry Cree and designer John Morrison, we were able to produce a fine addition to our organization’s history collection. The first 100 copies of this beautiful book were delivered just last month, after many months of collecting, composing, editing, finessing, and – finally, publishing. All the organization’s staff will see for themselves how wonderful their heritage is! We anticipate needing more copies of this soon! Thank you so much, John and Larry, for your immense patience and professionalism with this project.
