How your Print Calendar Is Made

When you create a calendar with Contrado, we print your designs onto silky art paper which is 160 gsm thick. We use a permanent printing technique which produces crystal clear details, showing even fine lines with incredible accuracy. Colours are strong and rich, and your entire piece is depicted beautifully. You can also add a cover using a single design or multiple images, and add a title. Your custom calendar is then backed with white card, which is strong, non-bendable and 2.5 mm thick, and it is all bound together by a spiral wire binder which is also in white.

Design Tips

Custom calendar printing comes in two sizes, either A4 or A3 so you can tailor it wither to the space that you have, or the designs that you wish to use. Make your own calendar using your favourite pieces as a great way to offer multiple designs in one simple package. You can even design the cover separately, using a combination of different designs, or one larger design.

When you create a calendar you have the option of an additional line of text under each image, you can give the title of the work, or other information such as which formats that piece is available in, or even when it was made. If you are a portrait photographer, you can use this space to name your models. If you photograph or paint landscapes you cold say where the image was inspired from, or is located. This space is for you to use exactly as you wish, and the possibilities are endless.

Design Brand

Design your own calendar for a unique way to get your work noticed. Use as a catalogue style portfolio, by adding your design, with a line of text underneath stating "also available as a canvas/cushion/wallpaper" etc, so that people can decide which design suits their decor by actually trialling each one for a month at a time.

Why start on a different month?

The ability to choose your starting month allows you much more versatility with your print calendar. You can tailor the calendar to your audience using the financial year, calendar year or even the academic year. If you are holding an event in May, you can start the calendar from June, ensuring your customers get the most out of this product.

Can I create calendars with different designs and sizes in the same order?

Yes, you can create calendars with different designs and choose between A3 and A4 sizes. Each calendar is priced individually and processed together in the same transaction.

How do I fix the calendar to the wall?

When you design your own calendar, we print your design onto the respective pages. We then back this with a 2.5 mm thick non-bendy board and bind it with a white metal spiral wire. This spiral wire has a traditional calendar hanging hook in the centre which can be used to hang your calendar printing onto a picture hook, nail or screw.
