Most businesses print custom calendars to promote their brand visibility, keep customers engaged throughout the year, and capture new leads. Non-profits often print calendars for similar reasons. Independent creatives\u200a\u2014\u200aartists, photographers, and authors\u200a\u2014\u200aalso take advantage of the marketing opportunities that custom calendars offer; and some people send them out to all their friends, family, and colleagues at Christmas, Thanksgiving, or on their wedding anniversary.<\/p>

If you’re interested in printing your own custom calendar<\/a>, after creative considerations, price is likely to be a key factor which will influence your decision. At QinPrinting, we have over 25 years’ experience successfully helping businesses, non-profits, independent artists and authors, and private individuals to print perfect custom calendars tailored to their unique needs. While several of our clients have few financial limitations, a limited budget constrains most. So, let’s look at the factors which contribute to the cost of a printed calendar and share the ways you can keep those costs down without compromising the beauty and utility of your finished product.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How many calendars do you need?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The first question is about quantity. How many calendars do you need to print? There’s a direct correlation between the number of calendars you print and the cost. We’ll be honest with you, if you need fewer than 100 copies of your calendar, you may get a better deal with an online digital printer, even though you won’t get the personalized customer service and professional quality reproduction that we guarantee to our customers. But if you want to print 100 or more calendars, we can help you save money.<\/p>

Obviously, 500 calendars cost more than 100 calendars and 1,000 calendars cost more than 500 calendars in total<\/em>. But, with offset printing, the more calendars you order from us at one time, the less you pay per unit<\/em>. So, for example, 100 saddle-stitched, 11″ by 8.5″ calendars with the interior printed on 128 gsm \/ 86 lb matte art paper in full color, and a full-color glossy cover on 200 gsm \/ 74 lb laminated matte art paper would cost $282; while 500 would cost $397; and 5,000 would cost $1831.<\/strong><\/p>

Do the math. It means that 100 calendars will cost $2.82 each to print. That’s already competitive. But keep going! Because printing 500 costs $0.79 each, and if you print 5,000, you get them for $0.37 apiece.\u00a0<\/p>

With a digital printer, the pricing stays the same per unit no matter how many copies you order. So, if you need 100 copies or more, offset printing your custom calendar with us could save you literally thousands of dollars. And while most offset printing companies have a minimum order quantity of at least<\/em> 500 copies, at QinPrinting<\/a>, we’ve set our minimum order at 100 to make these cost benefits as accessible to as many independent creatives, non-profits, and small businesses as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
