This is the page for calendar printing when a business wants 2027 calendars on client desks, a school or rescue group that sells calendars as a fundraiser, or a seller who designs a calendar line and needs a real print run. The calculator above prices every page count, paper, cover, and quantity this form sells, and it shows Ground, 2nd Day Air, and Next Day Air before you add anything to the cart. Calendars are a one-year product, so the order-by dates further down matter as much as the price.

Calendar printing price per calendar, 500 to 2,500
The cost of calendar printing is quantity driven. Size stays 6″ x 9.5″ on this form, so only the page count, the papers, the cover, and the quantity move the print price. Every row below uses 100 lb. Gloss Book inside, 100 lb. Gloss Cover, Full Color Both Sides, Regular Production, ZIP 33140, and Ground shipping.
| Pages and quantity | Print per calendar | Ground | Print + ground | Landed per calendar | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 pages, qty 500 (form default) | $699.33 | $1.40 | $57.83 | $757.16 | $1.51 |
| 12 pages, qty 1,000 | $843.05 | $0.84 | $103.32 | $946.37 | $0.95 |
| 12 pages, qty 2,500 | $1,393.63 | $0.56 | $240.80 | $1,634.43 | $0.65 |
| 16 pages, qty 500 | $841.94 | $1.68 | $70.12 | $912.06 | $1.82 |
| 16 pages, qty 1,000 | $1,019.05 | $1.02 | $132.71 | $1,151.76 | $1.15 |
| 16 pages, qty 2,500 | $1,709.68 | $0.68 | $311.34 | $2,021.02 | $0.81 |
Read the per-calendar column before you pick a quantity. Going from 500 to 1,000 twelve-page calendars adds $143.72 to the print price and cuts the cost of each calendar from $1.40 to $0.84. Consumer photo-calendar sites list one wall calendar at roughly $13.99 to $34.99 (public prices checked 30 September 2026), which is the right tool for a single gift and the wrong one for a 500-piece client mailing. For calendar printing, other printers price other specs, so compare the same size, page count, paper, and binding before you decide which quote is lower.
Two more rows worth knowing. The cheapest cell on the whole form is 80 lb. Gloss Book inside with a Self Cover on the 12-page, 500 row at $504.04, and 100 lb. Gloss Book inside with a Self Cover prints at $515.51, or about $1.03 each, because the cover shares the inside paper. A 16-page book on 80 lb. Matte Text inside with a 100 lb. Matte Cover prints at $904.55 for 500 and adds one business day for the paper.
A lower-investment option: 3.5″ x 8.5″ calendar cards
A calendar does not have to be a bound book. A flat 3.5″ x 8.5″ card carries a full-year grid on the front and your contact lines, hours, or a coupon on the back, prints on the postcard press on 16 pt. Premium Matte stock in Full Color Both Sides, and needs no pages or binding. The postcard form takes orders from 25 pieces, so the entry spend is far lower than a bound calendar. Calendar cards fit service counters, leave-behinds after a call, fridge doors, and envelope mailers, and businesses order them in sets when several offices or agents each need their own run. Price them on the postcard printing page by picking the 3.5 x 8.5 size.
| Quantity | Card print (3.5″ x 8.5″) | Per card | Book print, Self Cover (6″ x 9.5″) | Self Cover per book |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | $19.50 | $0.78 | not offered | n/a |
| 50 | $30.62 | $0.61 | not offered | n/a |
| 100 | $40.82 | $0.41 | not offered | n/a |
| 250 | $60.64 | $0.24 | not offered | n/a |
| 500 | $75.80 | $0.15 | $504.04 | $1.01 |
| 1,000 | $96.21 | $0.10 | $627.69 | $0.63 |
| 2,500 | $160.36 | $0.06 | $1,091.27 | $0.44 |
| 5,000 | $262.40 | $0.05 | $1,375.26 | $0.28 |
| 10,000 | $510.22 | $0.05 | $2,246.60 | $0.22 |
Cards win on entry spend and per-piece cost below 1,000 pieces, and a book wins when the calendar needs a page per month, a separate cover, or a gift feel. Both calendar printing formats take 3 to 5 business days after proof approval.
Page count is not the same as months
The page count includes four cover pages: front cover, inside front cover, inside back cover, and back cover. A 12-page calendar therefore has eight inside pages, which is not twelve months unless you put two months on a leaf. A 16-page calendar has twelve inside pages, one for each month of 2027, plus the four cover pages for your intro, offer, and contact details. That is the layout most business calendars use. A 32-page calendar has 28 inside pages, enough for twelve months, photo pages, and notes.
Count the leaves on paper before you design. Year-at-a-glance and 12-month calendar printing files both work on this form as long as every page in the PDF is one 6″ x 9.5″ leaf in reading order. Five hundred 32-page books on the same papers print at $1,642.28, with $132.70 Ground to 33140.

Calendar printing deadlines for 2027
Calendar printing runs on two clocks. Regular Production is 3-5 business days after you approve the file and pay, and Ground transit is 1-4 business days after the shipment leaves. That is 4 to 9 business days from approval to your door, and 80 lb. and 70 lb. inside papers add one more business day. The table uses the slow end of both clocks, skips Thanksgiving, December 25, and January 1, and starts counting when you approve the proof and pay, not when you first send the file. The fast end column assumes 3 production days and 1 transit day, which is a best case and not a promise.
| You want calendars in hand by | Approve and pay by (slow end, default papers) | Approve and pay by (slow end, +1 day papers) | Approve and pay by (fast end, 4 days) |

Send artwork well before those dates. The proof comes first, and a multi-month file deserves a real check of month order and holiday dates. Air shipping shortens transit only: on the default 500-book row, 2nd Day Air is $176.56 and Next Day Air is $165.29 to 33140, and neither one shortens the print days.
Who orders calendar printing here
Businesses ordering calendar printing for 2027 client gifts
Contractors, clinics, real estate offices, insurance and accounting firms, and dealerships order 500 to 1,000 calendars so their phone number sits on a client wall for twelve months. A 16-page book with your offer on the inside cover and a service reminder under each month prints at $1.68 per calendar at 500 and $1.02 at 1,000 before shipping, or $1.82 and $1.15 landed with Ground to 33140.
Schools, rescue groups, and churches using calendar printing for fundraisers
A fundraising calendar lives or dies on per-unit math. At $1.82 landed for each 16-page calendar at 500 ($912.06 print and Ground), selling all 500 at $12 brings in $6,000, which leaves $5,087.94 before your own costs. That is an illustration of the arithmetic, not a promise of sales. Sponsor pages can sit on the inside covers.
Designers and sellers building a calendar line
If you sell calendars on a shop or marketplace, you need a real calendar printing run, not a gift service. Build one PDF with one page per leaf, order a proof, and print 500 or 1,000. The 2,500 row drops a 12-page calendar to $0.56 in print.
Who should skip this page
Buy this page if you need a year of 6″ x 9.5″ saddle-stitched books at 500 pieces or more. Skip it if you need one notepad pad for the counter. That is custom notepads. Skip it if you need a single-sheet handout. That is flyers. Skip it if the piece is a 3.5″ x 2″ booking reminder. That is appointment cards. Skip it if the art has to live on a sidewalk board. That is A-frame signs.
How production time and shipping differ
Regular Production for calendar printing is 3-5 business days after you approve the file and pay. That is the only turnaround on this form. Shipping starts after production. Ground is 1-4 business days in transit, 2nd Day Air is 2 business days, and Next Day Air is 1 business day, all excluding weekends and holidays. On the default 500-book row to 33140, Ground is $57.83, packed $757.16. Those are carrier prices, not a faster print clock. Some inside papers add +1 business day on the form notice, so read the paper line before you pick 70 lb. Opaque or 80 lb. stocks.
This form covers saddle-stitched calendar printing at 6" x 9.5" only, and the lowest quantity is 500. There is no wire-o, spiral, desk, magnetic, or poster calendar here. If you need one of those, send the size, page count, binding, and quantity through the contact page and a print specialist will reply. A 12-page file that tries to hold twelve full months will drop months or shrink type, so count leaves before you upload.
Artwork and the upload path
Build a print-ready PDF for calendar printing with one page per leaf at 6.1″ x 9.6″ if you include the 0.05″ bleed on each side, or follow the guideline cards on this page, which show the exact trim, bleed, and safe lines. Keep dates, logos, and phone numbers inside the cyan safe line. Photos that touch the trim must reach the black bleed line. Use a predesigned Design Studio card on this page for the cover, then add inside months in your layout file. Silver Package is the listed design-build option when you do not have a file. Check the weekday start and the holidays on every month before you approve the proof, because 2027 starts on a Friday.
Proofing Options for calendar printing on the form include No Proof, Print As-Is and Human review + PDF proof. For a multi-month calendar, pick the proof option so month order, weekday rows, and holiday dates get checked before 500 copies print.
If you only need glued tear-off sheets for the counter, leave this page and open custom notepads. A calendar is the year book that stays after the flyer is gone.
Custom calendar questions
Does a 12-page calendar include twelve months?
No. The 12-page row has four cover pages and eight inside pages, which fits a cover, a contacts leaf, and six month spreads, or two months per leaf. If each month needs its own page, step up to 16 pages, which gives twelve inside pages. Five hundred 12-page books print at $699.33 and five hundred 16-page books print at $841.94 on the default paper and cover.
What paper should I pick if people will write on the days?
80 lb. Matte Text and 70 lb. Opaque Smooth White take a pen better than a heavy gloss. 100 lb. Gloss Book is the default because photos look lively. The form adds +1 business day on the 70 lb. and 80 lb. inside papers. If the calendar lives next to a coffee pot and guests will jot numbers, pick matte or opaque insides and keep a gloss cover.
Why does calendar printing start at 500?
This form is an offset-style saddle-stitched book, not a one-off desk pad, so the first step is 500, followed by 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, and 10,000. One thousand default 12-page books print at $843.05 and pack at $946.37 with Ground to 33140. If 500 bound calendars is more than the job needs, the flat 3.5″ x 8.5″ calendar card on the postcard form starts at 25 pieces for $19.50, which is the lower-investment path for counters, mailers, and fridge-door giveaways.
Can I skip a separate cover stock?
Yes. Self Cover prints the cover on the same sheet as the insides. On the 12-page, 100 lb. Gloss Book, quantity 500 row, Self Cover prints at $515.51 while the default 100 lb. Gloss Cover on that row is $699.33. Self Cover feels thinner in the hand, so keep the separate cover when the book will sit on a reception desk all year and use Self Cover when budget matters more than wrap stiffness.
How should I build the file for calendar printing?
Export one multi-page PDF at 6″ x 9.5″ trim, with 0.05″ bleed if color or photos run off the edge, which makes each page 6.1″ x 9.6″. Page 1 is the front cover and the last page is the back cover. Keep everything important inside the cyan safe line, set color to CMYK, and place photos at 300 dpi at final size. Confirm the weekday row matches the year on the cover, since 2027 begins on a Friday.
How do production days differ from the delivery window?
Regular Production is 3-5 business days after you approve the file and pay, and that clock does not include transit. Ground on the default 500-book row to 33140 is $57.83 and lists 1-4 business days in transit. 2nd Day Air on that row is $176.56 and Next Day Air is $165.29. Carrier choice never shortens print days, and some inside papers add +1 day on the form notice.
When should I order 2027 calendars for client gifts?
Work backward from the date you want them in hand. For Ground delivery on the slow end of both clocks, approve and pay by Friday, November 20 to have calendars by Friday, December 4, or by Friday, December 18 to have them by Monday, January 4. Papers that add one day need one extra business day. Carriers get slower near the holidays, so earlier is safer than later.
Can I sell the calendars I print?
Yes. The calendars are yours once they ship, so schools, rescue groups, and sellers can resell them. Your cost per calendar falls as quantity rises: a 16-page book is $1.68 at 500, $1.02 at 1,000, and $0.68 at 2,500 in print, before shipping. Add sponsor pages on the inside covers if you want sponsors to share the cost.
Is a proof included before 500 calendars print?
The form lists two Proofing Options: No Proof, Print As-Is, and Human review + PDF proof. For a multi-month calendar printing job the proof option is the safer pick, because it checks month order, weekday rows, holiday dates, and the safe line before the full run of 500 or more calendars prints. Approve the proof only when every month is correct, since approval starts the production clock.
Do you print wire-o, spiral, desk, or magnetic calendars?
Not on this form. This page prices saddle-stitched 6″ x 9.5″ calendars at 500 and up. For a different binding, size, or format, send the spec through the contact page and a print specialist will tell you what calendar printing options are possible.
If calendar printing is the job you want, set the form back to the $699.33 twelve-page default, or pick 16 pages for one month per page, then add the order from this page.
