Title: Suggestions for Calendar Printing?
Post by: decasso on June 18, 2008, 01:02:22 pm

I am looking for a high quality printing company to print a small (>500) run of 2009 calendars this year.  I am particularly interested in using recycled paper, but I welcome all suggestions of printing companies or online vendors that might be worth exploring for a calendar print job.

Many thanks!
Deb

Deb, not sure of the quality of calendars from this print shop but they are the least expensive I have found for large quantities.

I believe you can get a sample, or maybe have one made with your pictures so you can see how they are.  Price wise if ordering 500 calendars it puts calendars at under $5.00 each.

I would not put 500 as a small run.  I make about 50 a year normally 3 different sets of pictures so not everyone gets the exact same thing.  I make them myself.

Thanks a lot, Tony.  I just requested samples from Print Pelican.  Given the price breaks, it might also make sense for me to produce several calendars with different images in smaller batches as you suggest.


Best regards,

Deb
