QinPrinting Rated Excellent
They produced an excellent product that was printed, shipped and arrived within the expected timescales.
Emails were responded to quickly by Susan.
The whole process was smooth and straightforward.
What a delight!
Whenever I have a creative idea, their team goes above and beyond to help bring it to life. I’ve printed four comic books with them, and each time, they’ve exceeded my expectations. If you’re considering a printer, take a chance on these friendly, reliable folks—they truly value your business. - Chad Townsend, Creator of The Black Phantom.
But working with Nelson was an absolute pleasure. He patiently addressed all my concerns, and my final printed book was just as I would hope it would be.
Practical, Beautiful Calendars at Prices to Suit Every Budget
Whatever type of calendar you’re looking to print—wall calendars, pocket calendars, desktop calendars, poster-style calendars, desk pads, or something entirely unique—you can count on us to deliver with unmatched professionalism, technical expertise, and creative flair.
We produce beautiful, practical calendars that make ideal gifts for your clients, great products for retail, and powerful tools for promoting your brand wherever they’re displayed.
At QinPrinting, we offer an extensive range of papers, card stocks, finishes, and binding options, supported by the latest in digital and offset printing technology. We make it easy to find the perfect printed calendar solution that fits both your vision and your budget.
Here’s a quick look at some of our most popular options:
Our Range of Calendar Printing Options
At QinPrinting, we offer a full range of calendar printing services. While we do have digital machines, these are used solely for producing hard proofs—to check colour accuracy, print quality, and overall layout. The final production always takes place on our superior offset presses. Offset printing provides stunning calendars with high-definition colour or black-and-white image reproduction, along with excellent cost-efficiency for longer print runs.
Short Run Calendar Printing
Short run calendar printing is an ideal option for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and self-publishers. If you don’t need thousands of copies at once—but still want the exceptional quality of offset printing—this is the perfect solution.
Unlike most printers, who require a minimum offset order of 500 to 1,000 copies, we’re happy to offer offset printing with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of just 100 copies. That means you can enjoy professional-grade quality at an affordable price, even with a smaller run.
Portrait, Landscape, Oversized and Custom Formats
While most clients choose standard sizes and formats for commercial and practical reasons, we’re more than happy to produce fully customised calendar formats if that’s what you’re after.
Just keep in mind that custom sizes or non-standard formats may cost a little more and take a bit longer to produce due to the additional pre-press and setup requirements. But if you want it—we’ll print it!
Gloss, Matte, Uncoated, and Specialty Paper
At QinPrinting, you’ll find plenty of paper stock options for printing your calendar. Most calendars featuring photography are printed on gloss or matte art paper, as both provide a high-quality finish and excellent image reproduction. But you’re certainly not limited to just those choices.
We also offer a range of specialty paper stocks, such as linen finish, vellum, and other textured papers. While selecting a specialty stock may slightly increase your costs, it’s often well worth it for high-end calendar projects that call for a distinctive, premium look and feel.
Choosing the right paper or card stock can be tricky, but our printing experts are always on hand to guide you through the best options for both your design and your budget.
Special Finishes, Lamination, and Foil Stamping
Not every calendar includes a cover sheet—but most do. And with good reason: your calendar’s cover is the first thing a client or potential customer sees, so it needs to make a strong and lasting impression.
Whether it’s someone browsing your stand at a trade expo, picking up a calendar in-store, or opening a branded gift calendar in the post, they’re far more likely to engage with it if the cover is visually striking. That’s why QinPrinting offers a wide range of finishing options to ensure your calendar stands out from the crowd.
Some of the most popular finishing options include:
Shiny and reflective, perfect for vibrant graphics and photos.
Glossy highlights on specific areas for a striking contrast.
Smooth and non-reflective for a simple yet professional design.
Similar to matte lamination, but the resulting surface has a delightful, almost velvet feel.
A glossy finish applied to specific areas for a bold and distinct look.
Metallic or pigmented foil for a shiny, eye-catching effect.
Raised designs for added texture and elegance.

Our Most Popular Calendar Formats and Binding Options
Your choice of binding will depend on your calendar’s format, style, and personal preferences. With so many options available, we’re more than happy to help you select the best binding method for your specific needs. Here’s a quick overview of the most popular choices:
Saddle Stitch Binding
If your calendar includes 24 internal pages plus a four-page cover, saddle stitch binding is a popular and cost-effective option. It’s especially suitable for booklet-style calendars designed for portability or regular reference on the go.
Saddle stitching binds the pages and cover together using strong staples along the fold. This method also works well for wall calendars—we can include a drilled hole through the entire booklet so it’s easy to hang at home, in the office, or on the workshop wall.
Wire-O Binding
Wire-O binding—also known as “punch-and-bind”—involves punching evenly spaced holes along the calendar’s edge and inserting a durable, double-loop wire through them.
This method allows each page to turn independently and lie completely flat, making it a great choice for both desk and wall calendars. For added durability, we can laminate the pages. If you’re printing a wall calendar, we can also include a hanging loop as part of the wire binding for convenient display.
