Three-Month Calendar Printing
Three-month calendars are an excellent way to promote your business by adding logos, artwork, and contact information, making them effective brand ambassadors. Unlike regular calendars, they display three consecutive months at a glance and can include customizable features like a date slider. At QinPrinting, we ensure your calendar makes a powerful impression, whether for corporate gifts, promotional tools, or in-house use.
Common Three-Month Calendar Sizes
The precise dimensions of your three-month calendar depend on several design features, the number of pages, how many photographs and graphics, and so on. We can create calendars of more-or-less any size you like. But our experience shows that it’s often better to stick with standard dimensions in most cases. It makes manufacturing simpler, keeps your costs down, and guarantees a three-month calendar that’s easy to distribute and a pleasure to use.
Our most common size for a three-month desk calendar is 320 mm by 168 mm when folded. But, at QinPrinting, we’re happy to customize three-month calendars in any dimensions you prefer. Only remember complex customization—think giant display calendars or detailed multi-page die-cutting and soft touch lamination—costs more and results in a slower turnaround because of extensive pre-press work and setup. Sometimes, the added investment in customization could be cost-effective. That’s your decision. But for most, it’s cheaper, easier, and just as powerful marketing-wise, to go with regular sizes.
Three-Month Calendar Paper Options
Most three-month calendars feature a design which includes full-color photography and graphics on the cover and header board, alongside the basic dates-and-days grids below when the calendar is folded out or hung on the wall. We recommend printing the cover, panels, and header on 350 gsm / 129 lb cover paper coated on one side to get the best results. The coated side has an ideal surface for vibrant color or black-and-white printing that will make your three-month calendar images really pop.
For each month’s grid, we suggest using 80 gsm / 54 lb or 100 gsm / 68 lb uncoated or offset paper. Uncoated papers are great for writing on and give your calendars added functionality. The more your clients can interact with the calendar and the more useful it is, the more often they’ll interact with it and strengthen the positive associations with your brand.
For the date slides, we have red and yellow as color options.
Three-Month Calendar Sliders
A useful and attractive feature for any three-month calendar is a slider. A slider is a simple addition that makes it even easier to keep track and see the date at a glance. While sliders don’t come “as standard”, just ask us and we’ll make one for you. You can choose between the traditional red slider or a yellow one.
Binding Options
We mount your custom three-month calendar on a folding set of cardboard panels, which makes it easy to store and mail out and adds strength and durability when it’s unfolded. The only binding which looks good and gives ease-of-use and great functionality with a three-month calendar is a method we call “wire-o” binding.
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 each section 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 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 three-month calendar that isn’t mentioned here? No problem! Talk to us. If it’s possible, we’ll do it.

QinPrinting Rated Excellent for Three Month Calendar Printing
From start to finish, Jane was incredibly informative and helpful.
Also great communication.
My books arrived, and are beautiful!
Jane was prompt and had GREAT attention to detail were exceptional. Most of my emails were answered within 24 hours, and Jane went above and beyond by sending pictures, samples, and clear explanations to help me understand all the technical aspects of book printing. She even reviewed my proofs thoroughly and pointed out a few important adjustments I needed to make to my PDF files.
Shipping was faster than expected, and when I compared the final copies from Qin Printing with those from IngramSpark, Qin’s quality was far superior. The materials looked more polished; paper is higher quality, and the print was crisper. Each book was carefully wrapped.
I ended up saving 75% of my printing budget, and communicating in English was no issue at all. It felt like Jane cared about the project as much as I did. I can’t recommend her and Qin Printing enough. Thank you so much for helping bring my book to life!
