Printable wall Calendar

As this wall calendar is in A3 size (297 x 420 millimetres, 11-3/4 x 16-1/2 inches) and in our experience few people have a device capable of printing A3 documents, it's a good idea to have the job done by a nearby printing company/copy centre.

Two versions of the file were created (one with the crop marks and the bleeds). Take both to the printing company/copy centre and they will choose which one to work with.

We do not recommend scaling down this wall calendar to A4 or Letter size, as the letters will be too small. (This is why we have chosen A3 format.) Scaling to Letter can even distort proportions. The same should also be taken into account when converting to Tabloid/Ledger, which is similar to A3.

It is better to print on heavier than normal office paper, 80 grams, to make it more stable on the wall. We recommend at least 180 gram paper.

If you choose heavier, thicker paper, double-sided printing is also an option. In this case, think about how you will be turning the pages.

A change from previous years is that the last page (which shows thumbnails of the calendar pages) should be printed on the back of the penultimate page ('Legend and Descriptions of The Special Days') - so it will be on the back of the entire wall calendar. But if you prefer, this page can be omitted.

And for nice pictures, it's worth printing in colour.

We don't think laminating is necessary, but a matte or glossy film can look nice on paper. Not every printing company/copy centre can do this.

Most printing companies/copy centre will also do the stapling of the pages, but you can easily do it yourself. There are many do-it-yourself tutorials on social media and video sharing sites.

When you're done and have hung up your wall calendar, please send us a photo of it!
