Desk Calendars

Our online studio is designed to make creating your desk calendar simple yet fun, and we’ve updated the experience with new features. You can select layouts with single or multiple photos or choose from fun backgrounds. You can also add photos to the calendar grid along with custom text. For more detailed information on each new feature, check out this article. And if you need help or advice along the way, we have a team of design experts ready for you.

That depends on which size you select. If you choose our rectangular option, you’ll have the chance to add text or decorations to your design. We have an extensive clipart collection that lets you add all sorts of clipart to any date you’d like. You’ll also be able to customise holidays and special dates that you want printed on your rectangular desk calendar – you can remove any of our recommended holidays, plus label birthdays, anniversaries and more.

We do not currently offer custom dates on our square desk calendars.

Yes. To reorder, log into your VistaPrint account. Go to ‘My Account’ in the top-right corner of your screen and select ‘Order History & Reorder’. Scroll to find the desk calendar you want to reorder and select the “Edit & Reorder” button. You can update previous calendars with the current year and your custom design from that year will remain the same. However, please note that while custom events like birthdays and holidays are transferable, clip art is not.

Depending on when you placed your order, you may need our Design Services team to recreate the desk calendar on your behalf. If this is the case, you’ll see a pop-up notification after you click ‘Edit & Reorder’. Once you see the notification, select the button that says “Let us help” – this allows you to put in a request for calendar recreation with our team.

Once you’re in the design studio, you’re free to start with any month you’d like! That means you can create a desk calendar for the academic year (i.e. a calendar that starts in September).

To adjust the starting month, simply tap on the small, blue calendar icon that says, “Edit your calendar dates here.” Then, select the “Start date” tab to edit the starting date.

That depends on which calendar size you opt for. Our square desk calendar is printed on standard matte paper stock, which you can easily write on with a pen or marker. For our rectangular desk calendar, you can choose between standard matte paper or premium glossy paper. We recommend the standard matte for writing — our premium glossy is a little trickier to write on.

Paper options differ for each desk calendar size. Our square desk calendar only comes in one paper stock option: standard matte, which is uncoated.

However, if you opt for our rectangular desk calendar, you can choose between standard matte or premium glossy paper stock before completing your order. The premium glossy stock has a UV coating.

For our square desk calendar, we print on both sides of each page. For our rectangular option, we offer 1-sided printing only.

Each desk calendar comes with a built-in, folding base at the bottom. Simply unfold the base and set the calendar on the surface of your choice.

Absolutely. In fact, desk calendars are some of the most popular Christmas gifts. Filled with snapshots of your crew and personalised with special dates, they’re especially great family gifts. All you have to do is design one, order multiples and then… voilà – you’ve just crossed a big chunk off your gift list.

Our flip desk calendars come in two size/layout options:

• Square, which measures 20 x 20 cm
• Rectangular, which measures 10.5 x 21 cm

While sizing can be subjective, we would classify our calendars as small desk calendars rather than large desk calendars.
