Here’s a quick checklist for setting your artwork up for calendar printing.

Single Sided
If selecting single sided, your desk calendar will contain 14 physical pages printed one side only

Double Sided
For double sided, your desk calendar will have printed pages on both sides of the paper which means the number of physical pages will be 7.

• The finished size is 210mm x 148mm, so set your artwork up at 216mm x 156mm to add 3mm bleed to both sides
• Add 9mm safe zone to the binding edge
• Set your colour mode as CMYK
• Use high resolution images (at least 300dpi)
• Embed or flatten your fonts

Designing Yourself 
When ordering from instantprint you can be confident your artwork is in safe hands. For this type of product, you will need to submit your artwork after order in your account area. This way our proofing team will be able to check over your design, ensuring it is set up correctly before sending a proof to your email. Here you’ll be able to approve it online, then we’ll check it one more time for good measure!

If you are unsure, our Personal Artworkers can check over your artwork for free before you place an order. Plus every order is checked by our in-house Proofing Team to ensure that the file is print-ready.

We’ll design for you 
If you need support with designing, we can always create the design for you. We have recently launched our new Design Service and offer design across all our products. For more information click here.

What paper type should I choose?

You can choose between two different paper types. 150gsm silk is our most affordable option and is a thinner paper. 250gsm silk is thicker and great for a premium calendar design.

How is my calendar bound?

Your calendar will be wire bound. The silver coil wire has a diameter measuring 6mm.

When will my calendars be delivered?

Calendar orders approved by 6:30pm will be dispatched for delivery within two working days. Delivery takes a further working day. For example, if you approved your order by 6:30pm on a Monday, we’d dispatch your order on Wednesday and it’d be delivered on Thursday.

How do I upload my design?

You should upload your calendar artwork after placing your order. To do this, complete your order and then email your artwork to our Studio team at artwork@instantprint.co.uk who’ll then set it up for print for you.
