  • 10"x 7"

Desk Calendar Materials

Most desk calendars feature full-color images and graphics alongside the dates-and-days grid. To achieve the most vibrant results, we recommend printing on gloss or matte art paper. However, if you want people to write on the calendar, uncoated paper stock is the better choice. It allows easy writing, annotating, and note-taking with pencils, pens, or markers—making it ideal for clients who need a practical, writable surface.

Desk Calendar Frames

One of the most distinctive features of a desk calendar is its triangular frame, which supports it on the desktop. We construct ours using sturdy yet lightweight 2 mm or 2.5 mm grayboard, wrapped in laminated 157 gsm /106 lb paper. For a more unique finish, we can also wrap the frame in textured paper, vinyl, cloth, or leatherette. To add a personal touch, we can apply your brand logo with foil stamping or print any custom design.

Desk Calendar Frames

Custom Desk Calendar Binding

We mount your custom desk calendar on a folding cardboard frame so it can stand upright on a desk. The most suitable binding for this format is Wire-O, providing both a clean look and excellent functionality.

Desk calendars

Wire-O binding

Wire-O binding uses a technique known as “punch-and-bind”. We punch or drill equally spaced holes along the upper edge of the calendar's pages. We then insert a flexible wire—wound into a double series of circular hoops—through the holes. The wire coil holds the pages together while allowing them to flip over easily. We can laminate the pages to make them tougher and water-resistant. And we're happy to spruce your desk calendar up with other features, like foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and die-cutting.

We'll also pre-package your calendars in individual plastic wrappers or bubble envelopes ready for mailing on request. Do you have a feature in mind for your desk calendar that isn't mentioned here? No problem! Talk to us. If it's possible, we'll do it.

Hardcover Board Book Bnding

This binding method adds a hardcover to a standard board book for extra durability and a premium feel. Like traditional board books, the pages are glued together rather than bound, with a printed sheet wrapped over the first and last boards and across the spine. The difference is that a hardcover is then applied, enhancing protection and making it a popular choice for high-quality board books.

The interior pages will have rounded outer corners. The corners of the cover are not normally rounded. If you need round corners for your cover, please contact us.

Inner Lamination

We laminate all the interior pages.

Paper

Board books are made of the same paper throughout, so there’s no difference between the cover and the interior pages.

Most board books feature colorful illustrations, cartoons, or other artwork. So, we recommend printing on C1S paper to get the best results.

coated one side (C1S) paper

C1S paper—also called “coated one side” paper—is paper that has been treated with a special coating on only one side, while the other side is left uncoated. The coated side has a brighter, smoother surface, making it ideal for vibrant, full-color printing of the artwork and text of your story. The uncoated side has a more natural, rougher texture, but in board book printing, this rough side is not visible because two sheets are glued together, with the uncoated sides facing inward. This way, only the smooth, coated sides are exposed, ensuring a high-quality finish for your book’s pages.

Dust Jacket

The so-called “dust jacket” is the most common and practical way of covering a hardcover book. Used alone or combined with image-wrapping, it finishes your book with a professional touch while adding five printable surfaces—front, back, spine, and two inside flaps. We can print it in full colour, gloss coat it, matte coat it; emboss, deboss, laminate, and foil stamp it, too, for added effects.

Hardcover Book Dust Jacket

Endsheet Paper

  • If your book size is 8.5″ x 11″ or less with an interior page count of fewer than 320 pages, then a good option for the end sheets is 140 gsm / 95 lb offset paper.
  • If your book size is larger than 8.5″ x 11″, then 180 gsm / 122 lb offset paper would be better.
  • If your endsheets will be printed and your book’s interior uses gloss or matte art paper—say, for an art book or coffee table book—to make sure the colors match well, use 157gsm / 58 lb gloss or matte art paper for your end sheets.

The endsheets connect the hardcover casing and the interior pages when binding the book. So, there are two endsheets, one at the front and one at the back and both glued to the grayboard cover.

  • For books with more pages and thinner paper, perfect binding is ideal.

The maximum page count here is 800 pages. If you need more pages, please contact us.

If your book is larger, say, 8.5″ x 11″ or A4 size, one signature will have 16 pages. So, the inner page amount should be divisible by 16. Making your page counts match signatures is the most economical solution.
