1. Design requirements for desktop calendar and wall calendar
A special edition table calendar is a type of desk calendar that can be designed and produced separately according to special requirements, compared to the general content desk calendar. The content, style, etc. are all specific.
The entire process is carried out specifically around the customer's needs, with steps including: design style PPT - printing sample - quality inspection - packaging - delivery.
In addition, there are processes such as laminating, gold and silver ironing, bulging, oiling, and die-cutting that can be added as needed according to product requirements.

B、 Number of sheets
The number of desk calendars can usually be divided into weekly calendar, semi monthly calendar, monthly calendar, and bimonthly calendar according to the month. Adding a cover corresponds to 52, 25, 13, and 7 calendars, and additional pages can be added according to the actual content.
C、 paper
Usually, paper weighing between 105g-300g is suitable for printing calendars, and when choosing the thickness of the paper, the number of papers should be fully considered.
52 weekly calendars should not be selected on paper weighing more than 200 grams, as the coils of calendars weighing more than 200 grams are difficult to match
Generally, do not choose paper weighing less than 157 grams for 7 bi monthly calendars, as it may appear thin
If 300 grams of paper are used for 25 half month calendars, there is no need for a triangular calendar stand, otherwise it will be heavy on top and unstable.
Paper material: copperplate paper; Art paper; Matte powder is acceptable
D、 Imposition
Be careful when assembling calendars, and make sure to assemble them according to the binding method. When assembling a book style calendar, it should be flipped upside down. Don't be afraid of trouble, make a sample before printing to make a finished product.
E、 Post press process (binding)
Craftsmanship: Hot stamping; Concave and convex, among which a base needs to be made for the calendar
Binding: rubber ring binding; Nail strip installation
2.When designing a desk calendar, the following points should be noted:
A、 Text must be curved;
B、 The resolution is greater than or equal to 300 pixels/inch, and the size is similar to the calendar size produced;
C、 The file format should be CDR format or vector format such as AI, EPS, etc;
D、 The document must have a 3mm bleeding edge.
3. Operation process for customizing a special edition of desk calendar and wall calendar
A、 You confirm the production requirements for the special edition desk calendar and wall calendar, and prepare the design theme;
B、 Sign the contract and collect the advance payment;
C、 Design style sample to confirm design requirements;
D、 Design printed drafts and confirm with samples;
E、 Machine printing;
F、 Binding;
G、 packing;
H 、 Deliver finished products and collect payment.
4. Printing of desk pad calendar and yearly wall calendar
In the design and printing of calendars, in order to improve the packaging printing effect, it is often necessary to increase the surface brightness of the packaging box. One common practice is to use special paper, such as gold and silver cardstock, to print on this type of paper. In order to obtain higher glossiness, transparent ink is often used for printing. Transparent ink is an ink made entirely or mostly from dyes, with low coverage and extremely high transparency.
Due to the high transparency of transparent ink, it is usually coated with aluminum film after printing, which combines the gloss of the aluminum film with the gloss of the ink, reflecting more vivid colors. Products printed with transparent ink exhibit significant color changes when viewed from different angles, and the differences are even greater when observed under different light sources.
