Paper Options

When it comes to custom wall calendar printing, choosing the right paper is crucial. The paper you select will determine the overall look and feel of your calendar. Prime Printings offers a variety of paper options to suit your needs:

Glossy art paper	Matte art paper	Uncoated paper	Special paper

Glossy/matte art paper: This type of paper is ideal for vibrant and colorful designs. Glossy art paper provides a shiny finish, while matte art paper offers a more subtle and elegant look. Both options are great for showcasing high-resolution images.

Uncoated paper: If you prefer a more natural and textured look, uncoated paper is a fantastic choice. It provides a soft and tactile feel and is perfect for calendars with a vintage or artistic theme.

Special paper: For a truly unique and eye-catching calendar, consider using special paper. This could include metallic paper for a touch of glamour or textured paper for added depth and dimension. Special paper options can elevate your calendar to the next level and make it stand out from the crowd.

Wall Calendars Sizes

When designing a custom wall calendar, it's important to choose the right size to ensure it fits perfectly on your wall and is easy to read. Here are some popular sizes for wall calendars:

8.5" x 11": This size is commonly used for wall calendars as it provides ample space for images and dates. It's a versatile size that works well for both personal and professional calendars.

12" x 12": If you want a larger calendar that makes a statement, consider the 12" x 12" size. This size is ideal for showcasing stunning visuals and is often used for promotional calendars or calendars with artistic themes.

11" x 17": For those who prefer a landscape orientation, the 11" x 17" size is a great option. It allows for more horizontal space and is perfect for panoramic photographs or calendars that require larger date boxes.

Remember to consider the available wall space and the purpose of your calendar when selecting the size. A well-proportioned calendar will not only look visually appealing but also be functional for its intended use. We also provide customized size!

Binding Methods

The binding method you choose for your custom wall calendar will impact its durability and appearance. Prime Printings offers two popular binding methods for wall calendars:

Saddle stitch:

Saddle Stitch: This is the most commonly used binding method for wall calendars. It involves stapling the pages together along the fold line. Saddle stitching is cost-effective, allows the calendar to lay flat when opened, and is suitable for calendars with fewer pages.

Wire-O:

Wire-O: If you want a more professional and sturdy finish, consider wire-o binding. This method involves punching holes along the edge of the pages and binding them together with a metal wire spiral. Wire-o binding allows for easy page turning and is ideal for calendars with thicker pages or higher page counts.

When choosing a binding method, consider the number of pages in your calendar, the desired durability, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.

Finish Options

In addition to choosing the right paper, selecting the appropriate finish can greatly enhance the overall look and feel of your calendar. Prime Printings offers several finishes to add that extra touch of elegance and professionalism:

Lamination is a popular choice for protecting calendars from wear and tear. It involves applying a thin layer of plastic coating over the paper, creating a glossy or matte finish. Lamination not only adds durability to your calendar but also enhances the colors and images, making them more vibrant and eye-catching.

Spot UV is a technique that involves applying a glossy coating to specific areas of the calendar, creating a striking contrast between the shiny and matte surfaces. This finish is perfect for highlighting important elements such as logos, titles, or images, giving your calendar a sophisticated and premium look.

Foil stamping adds a touch of luxury and elegance to your calendar. It involves applying a thin layer of metallic foil onto the paper using heat and pressure, creating a beautiful and reflective surface. Foil stamping is commonly used for adding metallic accents to text, borders, or patterns, making your calendar truly stand out.

Varnish is a clear coating that adds a subtle sheen to the entire surface of your calendar. It provides a protective layer while enhancing the colors and details. Varnish is a versatile finish that can be applied in different levels of glossiness, allowing you to achieve the desired effect for your calendar.

Artwork Tips

Before sending your custom wall calendar file for printing, it's essential to set it up correctly to ensure the best possible results. Here are some steps to follow when preparing your pre-press file:

Bleed and trim: Make sure to extend any background images or colors beyond the trim edge to avoid white borders. This is called bleed. Additionally, set up your file with the correct trim size to prevent any important elements from being cut off during the trimming process.

Resolution and color mode: Set your artwork's resolution to 300 dots per inch (dpi) to ensure high-quality printing. Also, ensure your file is in the CMYK color mode for accurate color reproduction.

Safe zone: Keep important text and images at least 0.125" away from the trim line to prevent them from being too close to the edge. This is known as the safe zone and ensures that no crucial information is lost during trimming.

File format: Save your file as a high-resolution PDF to preserve the quality of your artwork and ensure compatibility with printing software.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your custom wall calendar file is print-ready and will result in a professional-looking calendar that meets your expectations. More artwork tips, please check out "artwork" page.
