Twelve months of useful visibility

Short-run calendars

Branded calendars in sensible quantities, from wall formats to practical desktop pieces.

Short-run calendars

Earn a place in view for twelve months.

Calendars stay in view and earn their space by being useful. We help select the format, binding and stock, then keep dates, grids and pagination carefully checked.

Bring the audience, quantity, wall or desk format, image source and delivery date. We will help settle the construction and build a dependable production schedule backwards from the launch.

HAD-PRINT production for short-run calendars
Made in Yorkshire by a team that cares about the detail.

What matters

Choose the calendar format around where it will live.

Binding, finished size, hanging method, date-grid space and postage all shape which route makes the most sense.

01

Short-run production

Make a focused quantity for customers, teams, fundraising or resale.

02

Several proven formats

Saddle-stitched, wirebound and desktop constructions to suit the content.

03

Detail checked

Date sequences, holidays, grids and page order reviewed before the press runs.

Saddle-stitched wall calendars

A recyclable booklet-style format with a full spread for every month.

The standard 28-page construction combines a cover and introductory page with twelve monthly spreads. It hangs through a drilled hole, opens neatly and can be produced on smooth silk or uncoated wove-style paper.

Because the construction is almost entirely paper based, it is straightforward to recycle and works well for organisations looking for a practical alternative to a wirebound wall calendar.

Custom branding, useful dates and a sequence of strong images give the piece a reason to remain visible for a full year. Standard short runs can start from around 25 calendars, subject to the final size, paper and specification.

Typical sizes

A4 and A3 are established options, with other sizes considered around the artwork and production route.

Short-run friendly

A practical format for targeted customer gifts, charities, clubs, internal teams and seasonal campaigns.

Image-led spreads

Use supplied high-resolution photography or discuss image sourcing and art direction for a bespoke project.

Easy end-of-life separation

A largely paper-based construction that is straightforward to handle within normal recycling routes.

Bespoke design and imagery

Use supplied high-resolution photographs or build a complete creative project with design support, image sourcing or an art-directed shoot.

Wirobound wall calendars

A durable flip-over format for strong imagery and regular handling.

Common constructions include an A4 28-page calendar with a central wire or an A3 14-page calendar bound on the short edge. A hanger or drilled-hole arrangement is selected around the size and finished weight.

Both formats provide generous space for photography and monthly information, while the robust binding makes them suited to regular page turning throughout the year.

Focused runs can start from around 50 calendars, subject to the chosen construction and current material availability. Standard templates can keep a straightforward project efficient, while a fully bespoke layout, image library or commissioned shoot can create a more distinctive campaign piece.

Flat, easy page turning

Wire binding gives each month room to turn cleanly and supports daily use throughout the year.

A4 and A3 routes

Choose the construction around wall space, image proportions, date-grid size and mailing needs.

Silk or uncoated paper

Match the surface to the photography, brand character and whether users need to write on the calendar.

Supplied or commissioned imagery

Use a client image library, licensed photography or a bespoke shoot planned around the page layouts.

Template or bespoke creative

Apply light personalisation to an established layout or develop a complete calendar around the brand and campaign idea.

Desktop calendars

Compact formats that keep useful information within reach.

Desk calendars work as client gifts, internal tools and targeted campaign pieces because they offer repeated visibility without taking over the workspace.

A logo, useful contact information and carefully chosen messages can remain within reach for twelve months, giving the calendar more practical value than a short-lived promotional item.

High-resolution client images can be used throughout, or we can help source suitable photography and build the calendar from the brief. Standard templates keep production efficient, but layouts, grids and reverse panels can all be tailored for a connected campaign.

CD-case style

Individual inserts around 119 × 138mm slot into a clear case that opens into a compact desktop stand.

Tent style

A self-supporting triangular board construction that is simple to assemble and practical to post.

Branded reverse panels

Use the reverse of each date card or panel for contact information, useful content and supporting messages.

Bespoke creative

Develop custom grids, branded layouts, photography and campaign content rather than relying on a generic template.
