Selecting the Ideal 2026 Calendar for Your Clients
Calendars can be personalised with captivating images or inspiring quotes, adding a touch of personality to your space. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or want to stay organised, calendars offer incredible value for money that continues to give throughout the year.
The primary factor in choosing a calendar for your clients is determining the type of calendar and how they will utilize it. Do you anticipate them placing it on a fridge, wall, or desktop?
Fridge Calendars
Widely used by councils, politicians, chemists, and retailers. Most affordable type of calendar available.
- Fridge calendars should feature an image and a calendar large enough for easy reading and date marking. Size is crucial and if possible include Emergency Service Numbers, Logos, Company Details, and School and Public Holidays. The most popular sizes are DL 210mm x 99mm and A5 210mm x 148mm. These calendars can be printed on artboard with a magnet on the back, or on magnet stock printed solely on the front.
Wall Calendars
Wall calendars are suitable for a wide range of applications and are effective for businesses, sports clubs, fundraising efforts, special interest groups, and service companies. Their costs fall within the mid to higher price range.
- Wall Calendars offer much more flexibility and come in many sizes. Sizes suitable for economical mailing allow room for a featured image, single or multiple pages or extra large to wow and be a feature on any wall. Sizes usually range from A4 up to Poster size. Binding can vary from booklet form to wiro bound at the top or middle.
Multipage calendars should have great images that relate to your products and the time of year and still grab the viewers' interest and imagination. For example, suppose you sell parts for 4WD and off-road vehicles. In that case, pictures of cars using your products in different locations and times of year will be far more exciting and sought after year after year by customers than a calendar containing page after page of your products.

Wall calendars typically provide space to write in each day's square, should include public holidays, events like Mother's Day, and possibly school holidays, making them a practical daily tool for users. A useful guideline is that if you wouldn't hang the calendar in your office, don't make it.
Desk Calendars
Desk Calendars are available in differnet sizes and formats Costs are usually in the low to mid range of options.
- Desk Calendars usually come as tent cards, flip calendars or desk pads. They need careful consideration of how many people will make room on their desk for a calendar unless it is exceptional. Each page and image should be simply stunning or personalised with their name.
These calendars are a designer's paradise as all sorts of stocks (papers) can be used with all types of print. Every page can be different and wiro bound into something unique and special. Make sure you discuss this with your printer early in the design process.
Tent Calendars
Excellent Promotional Gifts for Office Employees, Estimators, Planners, Procurement Officers,
and Production Schedulers. These Calendars are priced in the lower to mid range of options.
Tent calendars are at the cheaper to mid cost scale, usually printed on one side on a thick artboard and supplied flat for easy mailing or distribution. They commonly have a picture, your company details, logo and a calendar, maybe even include a list of public and or school holidays along the bottom.
Flip desk top calendars are commonly DL 210mm W x 99mm H or A5 210mm W x 148mm H and one month per page. Pages are often printed on two sides, containing a monthly calendar and your details. One side and a nice image on the other side. They are usually wiro bound at head with an unprinted ridged card backing that allows the calendar to stand shabbily on the desktop yet fold down so the product can still be mailed out cost-efficiently. An attractive front cover image with a laminate or a clear acetate cover sheet can be added. Costs vary from economical to top range at which point some fantastic products can be produced.
All businesses should seriously consider producing a calendar once a year with a feature that is useful for the user. Calendars remain helpful for 12 months and are one of the cheapest advertising mediums that will keep the business name in front of the customer for an entire year without further action.
