2027 Calendar Printing Guide: Wall & Desk Calendar Sizes, Paper & Ordering | ZprintPro
August to October is the prime season for US businesses to order 2027 wall calendars, desk calendars and mini calendars — one of the highest-impression, lowest-cost brand touchpoints you can buy. A calendar sits on a customer's desk or wall for 365 days, delivering thousands of repeat impressions for a one-time print cost. ZprintPro produces custom calendars for US small businesses with 50-piece MOQ, free design mockups, free shipping over $99, and DHL Express 2-4 day delivery from our Asia factory.
1. Calendar Types & Sizes
- Wall calendars: A3 (11.7×16.5") or A2 (16.5×23.4"), 13-page design (cover + 12 months), ideal for offices, restaurants and retail stores
- Desk calendars: A5 upright or flip-style, compact footprint for reception desks — popular with realtors, insurance agents and financial advisors
- Mini calendars: business-card sized giveaways, perfect for trade shows and direct mail
- Custom sizes: square, rounded-corner or die-cut shapes to match your brand
2. Paper & Finishing Options
- Art paper (gloss or matte): 157-300gsm, vivid colors, the standard for calendar pages
