Free design templates
Each template has the bleed, cut line and safe area already marked, so your file is set up correctly first time:
- Download your size and corner style — PDF for Illustrator, Affinity or InDesign; PNG for Photoshop or Canva.
- Open it in your design app, or place it on a locked layer at 100% size — it already includes the 3mm bleed.
- Design over it: run your background right to the red bleed edge and keep text and logos inside the green safe area.
- Hide or delete the template layer, then export a print-ready PDF (CMYK, 300dpi) and upload it with your order.
Delivered within 3-5 working days of ordering, once your free proof is approved. That window is the whole job, not just the van: we print, finish and dispatch your order and the tracked carrier delivers it. The clock starts when you approve your free digital proof, so approving promptly is the fastest thing you can do.

The Highlands & Islands, offshore and international addresses are priced live at checkout, as are unusually heavy orders — over 15kg is £14.95 whatever the order value. Very large pieces (any side over 120cm, such as A0 boards) go by courier rather than post: £7.95 on Standard, with the faster services at the courier's large-parcel rate, shown at checkout.

Every order is covered by the Presswift Guarantee: printed to the proof you approve and the specification you choose, or put right. If what arrives is damaged, short or does not match the approved proof, contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number, photos of the problem and a count of the affected copies, and keep the copies unused while we look. We reprint the affected copies to the same specification or, where a reprint is not practical, refund them; approved refunds reach your original payment method within 7-10 working days. Read the Presswift Guarantee.
Because every job is printed to your own artwork and specification, we cannot take a return simply because you have changed your mind, and errors carried through the proof you approved, or colour and trim variation within normal print tolerance, are not print faults. That is what the free digital proof is for — check the colours, wording and layout on the proof and nothing goes to press until you are happy with it.
Can I use my own photos and branding?
Yes — every page can carry your own photography, artwork and branding, and we can add your logo, contact details or key dates. It's ideal for corporate gifts and personalised keepsakes.
Do you print calendars in bulk?
Absolutely. We handle everything from a single personalised calendar to large corporate runs, with better per-unit pricing as quantities increase.
What year and date layout do you print?
We set the calendar to the year you need and can highlight specific dates — holidays, term dates, company events. You can check it all on your free digital proof before we print.
How is a desk calendar bound?
Desk calendars are typically wire-bound on a card stand, so pages flip and stand cleanly. We'll confirm the binding and stand style with your proof.
How should I supply artwork?
Supply images at 300dpi and text as a print-ready PDF with 3mm bleed. Send us your dates and we'll help lay out the grid. We proof everything digitally first.

Yes. Desk Calendars carry quantity discounts, so the price per unit falls as the run grows. Change the quantity on this page and the discount is applied to the total automatically.
