Saddle Stitched Printed Wall Calendars

Printed Wall Calendars

Saddle stitched wall calendars are composed of 28 letter sized pages (6 tabloid inner paper sheets and 1 cover sheet, printed on both sides , folded in half and stapled).  Printed in full colour.

Finished size is 8.5″ x 11″.

A 1/8″ hole is drilled in the centre for hanging the calendar on the wall.

When hanging on the wall, the calendar is opened to 11″ x 17″, with your image at the top and the month grid at the bottom.  

Creased cover for clean, professional fold without cracking.

Saddle Stitch Calendar Layout

Wall calendars with saddle stitching are made up of 28 page prints:

• 12 months date grids
• 12 month pictures
• 4 pages for cover and year display

Of the 24 pages, 15 of them are images.

To make the format work, an extra page spread is added after December.  Normally we use this space for a full year reference calendar of the following year (year display).  Alternatively, the final spread and back cover can be left blank or put in content of your choice.

Content Arrangement to Print a Saddle Stitch Calendar

• Front cover image with custom calendar name and year text
• Pages 2 to 25 alternate between photos and date grids
• Pages 26 and 27 are option pages to fill out the calendar structure
• Back Cover.  This can be blank if you like.  It is also a nice place to include a logo if you are branding your calendar, a gallery of all of the pics inside the calendar, or a “About us” piece.

Optional Content Pages for your Design

Pages 26 and 27 are optional only in the sense that you can customize what to put there. They are absolutely required to complete the saddle stitch without blank pages.

Full year calendar and picture

This gives you the opportunity to be creative with your designs.  A full year calendar of the next year is a good idea.

Other ideas for your design

• You can put photographs and bios of your executive or sales team
• a family or business history article
• a mission statement for your organization
• a collage of favorite photos
• any other useful information, like a conversion chart.

Budget tends to be a defining factor  in this.  The most affordable option is 28 lb pages with the 12 pt cover.

Photographers and artists tend to prefer to go with the heavier gloss or matte paper/cover combinations.
