Calendars

Our standard wall calendar is 12” x 9” and printed in full colour
on 100lb. Silk Text with 111lb. Silk Cover and drilled one hole for hanging.
They can be shrink-wrapped individually for sale or gifts if needed.

First Choice Books can prepare the calendar for you, using your images

Once we have all the materials, we’ll design your calendar, and send you a PDF proof to view by email. If everything looks good, we print a proof on the same paper stocks as the final product for your approval. Once the final printed proof is approved, printing takes about 2 weeks. Plan around 4-6 weeks for the entire process, especially if shipping is needed.

Here’s what to send:

N

The title, subtitle, and your name for the credits

N

Images for the cover and each of the 13 months, titled by month. We will place thumbnail versions of the months on the back cover. Photographs and illustrations should be high-resolution JPGs.

N

Captions If there are captions for the images, please send them in a separate text file (eg .doc, or .docx), labelled by month. (eg May: Narcissus flowers on Hope Point, Victoria, by M. Perkins)

N

ISBN and Barcode - If the calendar is to be sold in stores, let us know, and we’ll assign an ISBN and create the barcode for the back cover. The copyright, as with all First Choice publications, stays with you.

If you’re doing the design work yourself, send us a print-ready PDF.

We use several design templates. Customization such as custom dates can be added at additional cost.
