Bespoke Back Cover Personalisation

During the design stage of your calendar, our designer will use the back cover to title each months image or artwork. Perfect when your calendar is wrapped as end users can see what they will be getting throughout the year.

This is also the best place to market yourself, adding contact details, web address and social media links. This is a good example of how we will layout your design, though you may have ideas yourself.  Don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss how you might use the back cover on your calendar.

How your calendar is finished

Once guillotined to size and collated, your calendar will be wiro-bound at the top edge, whether portrait or landscape in orientation, and will also have a thumb-cut and hanger inserted at the centre. The images below show a thumb-cut and hanger, together with the wiro binding.  If you want to take a look at how we finish your calendars in more detail, Nigel Danson’s video shows how we manufacture your calendars

Your A3 or A4 calendars would come complete with a thumb-cut and wiro bound to finish.

Presenting your Calendar for Re-Sale

We can help you present your calendar ready for re-sale.  A choice of hard backed envelopes or cello wrap might enhance the final presentation.  If you would like to discuss your project in more detail, please contact Rachel 01270 625207 or email sales@jprint.co.uk
