Showcase landscape photography, travel images, architecture, wildlife, portraits, or other photographic collections. A 12-month calendar gives you a structured way to present a curated collection of images in a practical, giftable format.

Turn original illustrations, paintings, patterns, and graphic artwork into a calendar collection. Artists can use calendars to expand their product lines and offer fans a new way to enjoy their work.
Graphic Designer Calendars
Develop a distinctive calendar product for your portfolio, clients, or retail business. Experiment with typography, color, layout, and original imagery to create a calendar that reflects your design style.

How to Prepare Your Calendar Artwork
To produce a calendar that prints and binds correctly, your artwork must follow the product's file requirements.
Step 1: Create a 26-Page PDF
StationeryHQ requires one PDF containing all 26 pages in the specified sequence:
-
Page 1: Front cover
-
Page 2: Top picture
-
Page 3: January calendar
-
Continue with the remaining image and monthly calendar pages in sequence
-
Page 26: Back cover
Plan the complete document before exporting your final PDF. Check that each month is correct and that all images and page elements are in the intended positions.
Step 2: Set Up Your Artwork Dimensions
The product instructions specify the following dimensions:
-
Art size: 11.25" × 8.75"
-
Final size: 11" × 8.5"
Include the required bleed and follow the current downloadable template. Confirm the page dimensions and orientation in your PDF export settings before uploading.
Step 3: Leave Space for the Wire Binding
Because the calendar binds along the top 8.5" edge and flips upward, binding clearance is essential.
The product instructions specify leaving 0.4 inch at the bottom of even-numbered pages and at the top of odd-numbered pages to accommodate the wire binding and hole punch.
Keep important text, dates, logos, and image details away from the designated binding area. Do not rely on the wire binding to accommodate artwork that extends into the reserved space.
Step 4: Review the Complete PDF
Before uploading, check that:
-
All 26 pages are included.
-
Pages are in the correct order.
-
The calendar covers all 12 months.
-
Dates and weekdays are accurate.
-
Images are high resolution.
-
Text is legible at the finished size.
-
Bleed and binding clearance follow the product instructions.
-
The file matches the required dimensions.
Step 5: Upload and Order
Open the StationeryHQ 8.5" × 11" portrait calendar product page, upload your PDF, and follow the on-screen ordering steps. Sign in or create an account to review applicable wholesale pricing.
Portrait vs. Landscape Calendars: Which Should You Choose?
The best orientation depends on the type of artwork and layout you want to feature.
| Feature | Portrait calendar | Landscape calendar |
|---|---|---|
| Finished format | 8.5" × 11" | 8.5" × 11" |
| Overall layout | Vertical | Horizontal |
| Best suited for | Portrait-oriented artwork and vertical compositions | Wide photography and horizontal compositions |
| Binding | Top edge; flips upward | Review the corresponding product instructions |
| Ideal buyers | Designers, artists, photographers, and businesses | Designers, photographers, and businesses |
Choose portrait when your artwork and layout benefit from a vertical format. If you primarily work with panoramic photography or wide compositions, compare the landscape calendar option before preparing your files.
