SUMMARY Calendar Design

It's pretty cool having your own custom calendar, but better still is getting new clients because of it. Consider giving your corporate calendars to key clients as gifts. Not only will they appreciate the gesture, but we'll design such a great calendar that they will proudly display it for their own clients to see. Think of it as a mini-billboard.

CALENDAR DESIGN EXAMPLES

Calendar Types

We are able to design simple and multi-page tent calendars (prism-shaped desk calendars), as well as single and multi-page wall calendars. We are also able to design graphics for calendars of custom shapes and sizes, as long as we can obtain a technical template for the calendar from a repro house.
