Calendar Printing Production Equipment
WTP has a range of offset and digital printing equipment to produce short and long run calendars. This includes Heidelberg and Komori 4 and 5 color presses with in-line aqueous coating and CPC.
Our bindery equipment also handles 40” sheets for maximum, cost-effective production of bulk calendar printing.
For shorter calendar print runs of up to around 750 pieces, we use our Ricoh 7500 digital color press with its Plockmatic inline saddle-stitcher. This inline calendar production allows us to pass along significant, aggressive cost savings to our clients.
Variable Data Calendars
Our digital calendar printing means you can use variable data for personalized calendars. Or create custom calendars for business segmented as needed for products, location, colors, SKU’s, and more.
WTP also has die cutting equipment available to help produce creative calendar covers with custom cutouts or windows.
Types of Custom Calendars
As custom calendar printers, WTP can produce a variety of calendar designs and formats. This includes:
- Wall calendars
- Desk calendars
- Photo calendars
- Business calendars
- Tear-off calendars (also called “page a day” calendars)
- Weekly calendars
- Daily calendars
Sustainable Calendar Papers and Substrates
We have a large inventory of coated and uncoated text and cover paper available for both offset and digitally printed calendars. This includes popular 80# and 100# gloss and dull (silk) book and cover stocks.
We only buy paper that exceeds USA regulations. This means our house stocks are typically much higher quality than most other imported sheets in use today.
For companies working on high-end custom catalogs, we have a wide range of premium and premium recycled sheets available.
All of WTP’s paper and synthetic offerings are recyclable. As our client, this means you can freely print the recyclable logo on your printed projects.
WTP also maintains FSC® Chain of Custody certification, which means paper can be traced back to responsibly managed forests.
Eco-Friendly Calendar Printing Workflow at WTP
In addition to eco-friendly papers, we go deep with our sustainability practices in our daily operations. We do our best to remain environmentally aware at every step of the print production journey from prep to mailing and fulfillment. This includes materials, processes, and technology.
✅ Digital short-run capabilities reduces inventories and waste for your clients
✅ Digital workflow reduces physical proofing waste

Calendar Print Finishing Options
There are a variety of high-impact print finishing options available for calendars. These include Aqueous coating and UV coating. Die cutting and foil stamping are also available.
Types of Custom Calendar Binding
There are several types of bindings available for custom calendars.
Saddle Stitched Calendars
For longer calendar runs of around 750 pieces or more, we do saddle stitching on our Muller Martini Saddle Stitcher.
Short-run calendars are produced fast on our Ricoh 7500 digital press with its Plockmatic 350 inline saddle-stitch booklet maker.
Plastic Comb Binding (GBC Binding) for Calendars
Plastic comb binding, also called GBC binding, is another binding technique that can be used on calendars.
Wire-O Binding (Double Loop Binding) for Calendars
We also handle Wire-O (double loop) binding which can be used for calendars.
Coil Binding for Calendars
WTP has plastic coil binding available for a wide range of booklets and calendars.
Tear-Off Calendar Binding
Tear-off calendars are sometimes known as “day by day” calendars or “page a day” calendars. These are bound the same as perfect bound books, with glue attaching the cover to the set of calendar pages as shown.
If you’re not sure which type of calendar binding is best, talk to us at (559) 251-8595.
Calendar Mailing and Fulfillment at WTP
If your calendar needs to be mailed or has special fulfillment needs, we offer calendar mailing and fulfillment services. Our bulk mailing process is known for saving clients thousands of dollars on bulk mail postage costs. We do this by systematically using USPS Destination Entry discounts and list enhancements.
Surprisingly, there are even some experienced mailing companies that fail to fully take advantage of these USPS bulk mail discounts for their clients.
That’s because many of their clients believe that there are only two classes of mail – first class and bulk mail. And mailers are happy to go along because it’s easier for them to simply offer a “bulk mail” discount.
The real postage discounts, the kind that will make your clients ask you how you did it…these require a bit of work. As trade-only printing specialists, that’s what we do for you. In fact, you can send us a recent mailing list and we’ll show you what you might have saved on a previous mailing.
