Great Job Once Again

Love the colours. To make my layout work I had to adjust the month and year, then I could put a subject//location near/with the photo. One query: what size of envelope will fit these calendars.

The desk support is not

I have been ordering calendars, using my own photos, for years and as usual these calendars are perfect this year!

Photos were smaller than expected

Photos were smaller than expected
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We are sorry to hear that the final print size of your photos did not quite match what you had envisioned for your desk calendar. For future projects, we recommend carefully checking the online preview feature located on the calendar editing page to set clear expectations for photo size and scale before placing your order. This interactive preview tool allows you to view the exact layout, margins, and proportion of your images relative to the calendar grid so you can adjust them to your preference prior to printing. We hope this helps with future purchases, and should you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team via this direct link: https://www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/

Awesome as usual!

I’ve been creating my own desk calendars for a few years now and it’s always easy to download the pics and add little bits to the dates! I have fun doing it and people look forward to and love getting them. Quality is excellent!

Frequently asked questions

Our online studio is designed to make photo desk calendars simple yet fun, and we’ve packed it with all sorts of cool features.

To start, choose a calendar size and then head to our gallery to find a calendar style that you love. After you’ve selected a template, we’ll take you into the studio where you can customize your calendar to your heart’s content. You can select layouts with single or multiple photos or choose from fun backgrounds. You can also add photos to your calendar’s grid along with custom text.

For more detailed information about designing your calendar, check out our guide.
And if you need help or advice along the way, customer support is standing by.

That depends on which size you select. If you choose our rectangular option, you’ll have the chance to add text or decorations to your design. We have an extensive clipart collection that lets you add all sorts of clipart to any date you’d like. You’ll also be able to customize holidays and special dates that you want printed on your rectangular calendar – you can remove any of our recommended holidays, plus label birthdays, anniversaries and more.

Currently, we do not offer custom dates on our square calendar.

Yes. To reorder, log into your VistaPrint account. Go to “My Account” in the top right corner of your screen and select “Order History & Reorder.” Scroll to find the calendar you wish to reorder and select the “Edit & Reorder” button. You can update previous calendars with the current year and your custom design from that year will remain the same. However, please note that while custom events like birthdays and holidays are transferable, clip art is not.

Depending on when you placed your order, you may need our Design Services team to recreate the calendar on your behalf. If this the case, you’ll see a pop-up notification after you click “Edit & Reorder.” Once you see the notification, select the button that says “Let us help” – you’ll be able to request a calendar recreation with our team.

Once you’re in the design studio, you’re free to start with any month you’d like. Simply tap on the small blue calendar icon that says, “Edit your calendar dates here.” Then, select the “Start date” tab to edit the starting date and update your calendar.

That depends on which calendar size you opt for. Our square desk calendar is printed on standard matte paper stock, which you can easily write on with a pen or marker. For our rectangular desk calendar, you can choose between standard matte paper or premium glossy paper. We recommend the standard matte for writing – our premium glossy option is a little trickier to write on.

Paper options differ for each calendar size. Our square desk calendar only comes in one paper stock option: standard matte, which is uncoated.

However, if you opt for our rectangular desk calendar, you can choose between standard matte or premium glossy paper stock before completing your order. The premium glossy stock has a UV coating.

For our square desk calendar, we print on both sides of each page. For our rectangular option, we offer 1-sided printing only.

Each calendar comes with a built-in folding base at the bottom. Simply unfold the base and set the calendar on the surface of your choice.

Absolutely. In fact, desk calendars are some of the most popular gifts for businesses and loved ones during the holidays. Filled with snapshots of your crew and personalized with special dates, they’re especially great family gifts. All you have to do is design one, order multiples, then…voila – you’ve just crossed a big chunk off your gift list.

Once your desk calendars are all printed and ready to go, we’ll ship them with your choice of economy, standard or express shipping. Economy is our most affordable option, and free for orders over $75. If you’re in a time crunch, express is your fastest option, usually taking around 3 business days.

Be sure to check the shipping calculator (where it says “Get is as soon as…”) for more accurate estimates and pricing depending on your location.
