Calendar - where to print one?

[rottie102]

I'm doing a calendar for my customers, all the proceeds will go to the charity we support.

Do you know any good websites I can order them from? I'm thinking something like the A4, one month on each page with big photo, good quality etc. I will need around 150 of them.

VistaPrint seem to do it, any other recommendations?

The photobox ones are very good quality... but expensie. Two weeks ago they were doing 2 for 1 (I bought loads for Christmas pressies). I'm well impressed with them. (I tried the one from lulu.com but it's rubbish).

I can Vouch for the Photobox ones, had about 12 A3 ones made last year and they look great! I think they worked out at about £12-£13 each though so doing 150 of them will soon add up!

Along the same lines, is there somewhere good to get square cards printed? Had some stuff from Photobox in the past and liked it, but they seem to only do flat square cards, not folded ones. Unless I've misread their website.

Onlineprinters.com seem to have a minimum of 100, and I've not got that many friends..

I just bought mine for Christmas from Vistaprint. Got 5 for the price of 1.

Used them last year too, I found the quality to be good. Can be expensive if you purchase outside of one of their offers though.

Which one did you buy? They work out around £5 each for the amount I need. I really wouldn't want to spend more than £7-8 each

Standard paper? Not the premium glossy stuff for £8.49 extra?

[alex b]

Yes standard "calendar paper", I'm pretty sure that's what I ordered last year & they looked good

Always been happy with Photobox.

Have used them for photo prints, poster prints, photobooks, canvases, etc.

I'm sure they're good. However, when I called them today asking can they send me sample because I want to order 150 calendars they said they don't do it, no matter how many I want to order. Also the only discount available for ordering 150 was the same 3 for 2 available to everyone. Kind of put me off from spending £2k with them...

Photobox have a very set business model. They do great cheap prints (and very fast), but their books are far too expensive (and not as good as Blurb, who are also much cheaper).

The way to 'do' photobox is to wait for the 2 for 1 offers, it then makes financial sense. A thousand pound saving on your order.

FYI 3 for 2 calendars until Monday - code: XMASMIX

That's how I've used them.

Ordered a desk calendar last year as a present for the wife, and was very impressed.

Thanks, I saw that and that's the only discount they were willing to give.

I'm ordering the calendars with www.teamcalendars.co.uk
They've sent me samples of all the calendars, the quality is good, so are the prices and they promised quick delivery.

[rottie102]

Just an update - calendars turned up few days before promised time, the quality is really good so I'm very happy with the service.

Maybe somebody will need to print some.
