Please note the following regarding your document setup:

• These are the minimum and maximum dimensions for custom saddle stitch calendars.

• Please note that the finished size is Width X Height.
• The largest sizes are current available for the following paper stocks and weights: Premium Gloss and Premium Matte 100# Cover and 100# Text, and Uncoated Smooth 80# Cover.
• Make each page of your document the same size as what is being ordered. So if you are ordering a 5.5 x 8.5 calendar, the pages in your document should also be 5.5 x 8.5. Be sure to include an additional 1/8" bleed on all 4 sides of the page.
• The first two pages and the last two pages of your document will be your calendar cover. If you do not wish to have any printing on the inside covers of your calendar, then simply include blank pages in your document.
• Make sure your document has the same number of pages as what is being ordered (this number must be divisible by 4). So if you are ordering a 12 month calendar with a cover, then your document should contain 28 pages. If you’re ordering an 18 month calendar with a cover, you would need 40 pages. You can add blank pages as necessary to make page count.
• Please enter the total number of sides (not sheets of paper), including any cover pages.
• Paper thickness affects the thickness of the calendar and therefore saddle stitched calendars have page count limits. With cover weight stock for both cover and interior pages, the maximum page count is 20. If your page count is higher than the page limit, please consider a spiral coil or wire coil calendar.
• Please combine all of the pages successively into one print ready PDF file. If you cannot combine them, be sure that they are named in successive order so that we can easily identify how they should be printed. For example, numbering pages as: 01, 02, 03, instead of 1, 2, 3, will appropriately arrange the pages as you intended.

Use the add a version option to save money if you need multiple calendar versions printed. This option allows you to print saddle stitch calendars of different designs on the same order, as long as all of the printing specifications are the same. Simply choose the "Add Another Version" option, enter the quantity, and properly name your files to correspond with each version, then we'll take care of the rest. 

For your convenience please see the calendar layout guide options in the Project Resources section below.
