Custom Printed Calendars for Businesses and Organizations
Custom printed calendars give businesses and organizations a practical way to stay visible throughout the year. They can combine useful calendar information with photographs, branding, contact details, important dates, events, and other custom messaging.
ScheduleMagnet.com offers much more than sports schedule magnets. We can help businesses, schools, nonprofits, associations, and other organizations choose from hundreds of custom calendar formats, sizes, materials, and configurations.
Available options include wall calendars, desk calendars, plastic calendars, magnetic calendars, and many specialty formats. Therefore, the examples shown on this page represent only a small selection of the calendar products available.
What Types of Custom Calendars Can We Produce?
Calendar choices extend far beyond a few standard sizes or designs. Hundreds of combinations of size, material, construction, binding, layout, and imprint style are available.
Some calendars provide large areas for photographs and branding. Others are designed for desks, offices, refrigerators, counters, customer workspaces, or convenient reference throughout the year.
The following examples illustrate several popular approaches, but they are not intended to represent our complete calendar selection.
Custom Wall Calendars
Wall calendars provide generous space for photographs, artwork, company branding, important dates, and other information.
One available format measures 8.5″ x 11″ when closed and 11″ x 17″ when opened. It allows 13 custom images: one cover image plus a different image for each of the 12 months. In addition, the bottom of each month can include a custom business or organizational imprint.
This type of calendar can work especially well for organizations with strong visual content. For example, real estate companies can feature properties or neighborhoods, while contractors can showcase completed projects. Schools, nonprofits, tourism organizations, automotive businesses, and community groups can also feature different images throughout the year.
This is only one example. Other wall calendar sizes, layouts, bindings, artwork configurations, and calendar styles are also available.
Custom Desk Calendars
Desk calendars keep useful date information close to customers or employees while they work. As a result, they can be especially useful in professional offices, financial services, healthcare businesses, sales environments, manufacturing companies, and other workplaces.
The desk blotter shown below is one available style. It measures 22″ x 17″ and includes 12 monthly sheets with large memo-style date blocks. Each sheet also provides a 21″ x 3″ full-color imprint area at the top for a business name, logo, contact information, or other custom message.
Two vinyl corners at the bottom help keep the calendar sheets neat and secure throughout the year. This particular calendar is made in the USA and has a Production Time of approximately 30 working days. Other calendar products, including many magnetic calendars, typically have shorter production schedules.
Many other desk-calendar styles are available, including different sizes, layouts, constructions, and imprint areas.
Custom Plastic Calendars
Plastic calendars provide another option for organizations that want greater durability than a traditional paper calendar may provide.
Depending on the product, plastic calendar formats can vary considerably in size, shape, layout, and intended use. They can be useful when a compact calendar, reference piece, or longer-lasting printed item better suits the audience.
Because numerous plastic calendar styles are available, we can help narrow the choices according to how you plan to distribute and use them.
Custom Magnetic Calendars
Magnetic calendars place useful date information directly on refrigerators, filing cabinets, and other metal surfaces. Because the calendar itself is magnetic, the recipient does not need a separate magnet or holder to keep it displayed.
Magnetic calendars can combine a traditional yearly calendar with company branding, phone numbers, websites, QR codes, service information, or other useful reference content.
The 4″ x 7″ calendar magnet shown below is one example of many available magnetic calendar sizes and layouts.
You can also explore our custom yearly calendar magnets for other options.

Why Are Calendars Useful Throughout the Year?
A calendar has a practical purpose beyond advertising. Recipients can use it to check dates, record appointments, follow events, organize schedules, or plan activities throughout the year.
At the same time, the advertiser’s name, logo, contact information, or message remains part of the calendar design. Therefore, useful calendar information and organizational branding can work together in the same product.
That combination makes calendars different from many short-lived promotional pieces. A well-designed calendar gives the recipient a reason to continue using it well after it is first received.
Who Can Use Promotional Calendars?
Custom printed calendars can work for many industries because both the format and the content can be adapted to different audiences.
- Real estate professionals: Feature properties, neighborhoods, local photography, community information, or contact details.
- Construction and home-service companies: Showcase completed projects while keeping company information visible.
- Schools and universities: Highlight students, activities, athletics, events, schedules, or important dates.
- Nonprofits and associations: Feature programs, members, supporters, community activities, or mission-related photography.
- Manufacturers and B2B companies: Display products, facilities, projects, equipment, or customer applications.
- Tourism and hospitality businesses: Use scenic, destination, property, or community photography throughout the year.
- Financial and professional services: Keep contact information and useful calendar dates close to customers or members.
What Can You Customize?
Calendar designs can combine useful date information with content that represents the sponsoring business or organization.
Depending on the format, that may include photographs, logos, websites, phone numbers, locations, services, events, QR codes, schedules, important dates, or other custom information.
In addition, some formats allow the imagery or message to change throughout the year. A wall calendar, for example, can use a separate cover image and a different photograph for each month rather than repeating the same advertisement twelve times.
Which Format Fits Your Needs?
The best format depends largely on where recipients will use the calendar, how much information you want to include, the amount of writing or image space needed, and how the calendar will be distributed.
Paper wall calendars can provide substantial room for photography, monthly information, and writing. Meanwhile, desk calendars keep dates and branded information within easy reach in a workspace.
Plastic calendars can provide a more durable printed option for certain applications. In contrast, magnetic calendars offer a compact format designed for refrigerators, filing cabinets, and other metal surfaces.
However, those are only broad categories. Within each category are many different sizes, constructions, layouts, materials, and imprint configurations.
Some organizations may even use more than one calendar format. For example, one customer group might receive a wall calendar while another receives a desk, plastic, or magnetic calendar.
Why Should You Order Early?
Production time varies by calendar style. Many magnetic calendar projects can normally be produced in approximately 10 to 14 days.
However, some larger or more specialized printed calendars require additional production time. For example, the 22″ x 17″ desk blotter calendar shown above has a 30 Day Production Time.
Seasonal demand can also affect normal production schedules. In particular, heavy late-fall demand for calendars can lengthen production times as businesses place orders for the coming year.
A calendar project also involves more than production time. Before printing begins, you may need time to select photographs, organize dates, prepare branding, create artwork, review a proof, and approve the final design.
Therefore, early ordering gives your project more time for design, approval, production, shipping, and distribution before the New Year.
This is especially important if you want calendars delivered before Thanksgiving, Christmas, a year-end customer event, or another planned distribution date.
Ideally, calendar planning should begin with the date you want recipients to have the calendars in their hands. From there, appropriate time can be allowed for artwork, proofing, production, shipping, and distribution.
Why Mail a Calendar Magnet Instead of a Traditional Holiday Card?
Traditional holiday cards deliver a seasonal greeting, but their usefulness often ends shortly afterward. A custom calendar magnet offers something more: a practical reference that recipients can display and use throughout the coming year.
This makes calendar magnets especially attractive to businesses, financial institutions, insurance companies, and associations that already send year-end greetings to customers or members.
At $2 or less per mailed piece* for orders of 500 or more, including First-Class bulk postage, calendar magnets offer an affordable alternative to traditional holiday cards. More importantly, they can keep your business name and contact information visible long after the holiday season ends. (*2026 pricing estimate based on qualifying orders of 500 or more. Actual pricing may vary based on magnet size, quantity, production costs, and postage rates. Contact us for a current quote.)
For another example of this strategy, see how credit unions and insurance companies can make year-end holiday mailings more useful.
