Overview
The short answer, then the detail.
Desk calendars stand on a desk on a folded tent board, so the dates sit upright where people can see them. The calendar pages are 250gsm silk and the tent board is 380gsm matt. You choose one of five landscape sizes, from A6 (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm, and order from 30 copies.
Desk calendars stand on a folded tent board so the dates sit at eye level on a desk, counter or reception. Businesses use them as client gifts and to keep their name and number in front of customers all year.
Desk calendars: sizes and materials
Choose A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm), DL landscape (210 × 99 mm), 148 × 148 mm square, A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) or a long 297 × 105 mm format. The smaller sizes take up little room beside a keyboard. The larger ones give more space for photos, notes and your contact details.
The calendar pages are printed on 250gsm silk, which is smooth with a low sheen and firm enough to turn over each month. The stand is a 380gsm matt tent board, a thick board that keeps the calendar upright.
Quantities. You can order from 30 to 1,000 copies (30, 50, 100, 250, 500 or 1,000). The price each falls as the quantity rises; the table next to the price shows the price each for every quantity.

Questions
Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.

I do not have artwork. Can you design it for me?
The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
How do I supply artwork for these calendars?
One PDF, single pages in reading order, 3 mm bleed. Page counts go up in steps of four, because each folded sheet makes four pages; plan blank pages or notes pages into the count. Keep text at least 5 mm from the trim and the spine. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
How much do Desk Calendars cost?
Desk Calendars start from £139.48 with size A6 landscape · 148 × 105 mm. The price in the calculator changes live as you pick the size, material, finishing, quantity and turnaround, so you see the final price before you add to basket. No VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Delivery is added at checkout: UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).
Do you charge for delivery?
UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one calendar at £139.48 already qualifies for free delivery. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.
How long do Desk Calendars take to make?
On the option the calculator opens on, Standard is ready to dispatch in 10 working days and Express in 8. These are working days to dispatch, counted from when your order and artwork are confirmed, and other sizes or materials can take a day more or less: the calculator shows the exact days next to each turnaround. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. Desk Calendars start at £139.48 before delivery.
How many pages can Desk Calendars have?
Pages: 250gsm silk. You can see this with the other details in the Specifications tab on this page. If you need something different, ask a question on this page or use Get a quote and we will tell you what is possible. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
What happens if my file is not good enough to print?
Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. For Desk Calendars, set your file up at the size you order, for example A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm).
What file should I upload?
A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
Can I order now and send my artwork later?
Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
What resolution does my artwork need for these calendars?
For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi a 297 × 105 mm design needs about 3,508 × 1,240 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.
Will the price change at checkout?
Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Desk Calendars start at £139.48 before delivery.
Can I order more than one of these calendars?
The quantity is part of the options: from 30 up to 1000 (30, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
How much is an A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) calendar?
A A5 landscape (210 × 148 mm) calendar starts at £153.46 for 30 on the lowest priced options and Standard turnaround. Pick that size in the calculator to see the price with your own material, finishing and turnaround. At that price delivery to a UK mainland address is free.
Do you deliver Desk Calendars to the Scottish Highlands?
Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. On the opening option, Desk Calendars are ready to dispatch in 10 working days on Standard or 8 on Express.
Can I pay for express production on Desk Calendars?
Yes. Express makes these calendars ready to dispatch in 8 working days on the opening option, priced at £153.43 against £139.48 on Standard (10 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.
Will my brand colours print exactly?
Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. For Desk Calendars, set your file up at the size you order, for example A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm).
Can I order several different designs in one order?
Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. Desk Calendars start at £139.48 before delivery.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Desk Calendars start at £139.48 before delivery.
Where are Desk Calendars made?
Desk Calendars are made to order by our UK production partner. Either way, InstantBanners takes the order, checks your file and deals with you from start to finish, and the item is delivered to you by courier. You can reach our Manchester team on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp if you have a question before or after you order.
Can I return these calendars if I change my mind?
No. These calendars are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. Desk Calendars start at £139.48 before delivery.
Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of Desk Calendars?
Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. A quote is also the way to go for delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
Can someone help me choose the right options for these calendars?
Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the calendar will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
Can I reorder the same calendar later?
Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. Keep your print-ready file safe so a repeat order is quick. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
Can I change my artwork after ordering?
Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Desk Calendars start at £139.48 before delivery.
How do I pay?
By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
Can I get a VAT invoice?
No. We are not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because no VAT is added, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. Desk Calendars start at £139.48 before delivery.
Can these calendars be recycled?
Unlaminated paper and card go in normal paper recycling. Laminated items, foils and plastic cards are harder to recycle, so check your local council's rules. Desk Calendars come in 3 listed sizes, from A6 landscape (148 × 105 mm) to 297 × 105 mm.
How should I store these calendars?
Keep printed paper and card flat, in the box it came in, somewhere dry and away from direct sun and heat. Damp makes paper curl and can stop it feeding through printers; sun fades colours over time. Take out only what you need so the rest stays clean. Desk Calendars start at £139.48 before delivery.
