Digital printing is often used for short-run projects such as calendars, as it allows for cost-effective production of smaller quantities with quick turnaround times.
By offering these customised calendars, you can engage with supporters or customers on a personal level.
Calendars can be a powerful tool for raising awareness and funds for important causes or marketing for your business.
We’d be very happy to talk to you about the options available and prices, to show you what a lovely fundraiser a charity calendar can be or how it could promote your own business. Please contact us via the enquiry form.
Printing short-run calendars for local charities is an excellent way to create a unique fundraising opportunity. These calendars can feature images or artwork related to your charity’s mission, showcasing the work you do and the impact you have on the local community.
Charities can engage supporters and provide them with a tangible way to contribute, whether through direct sales or as a thank-you gift for donations. With the added benefit of highlighting local businesses or events through sponsorship on the calendar.
Orbitpress has been producing charity calendars and personalised calendars for decades. Charity calendars are generally planned from September onwards to allow time to produce the artwork and get them printed so you can get selling asap to raise money for your charity.
They are usually A4 or A3 in size. We have a flat rate and ask that the first order is for 50, after that you can reorder as little as 10 at a time. This way you can avoid having to order 100’s to get a low flat rate and hopefully won’t end up with stock left over which would have to be recycled!
Printing short-run calendars for local artists is another fantastic way to bring your work to a broader audience. These calendars can feature a selection of your best pieces, transforming each month into a visual celebration of your creativity.
Short-run printing allows for smaller, more affordable quantities, making it ideal for artists who want to showcase their work without committing to large print runs.
It also provides flexibility for customisation, such as including a small biog or message from the artist.
These calendars not only offer your audience a way to enjoy your work throughout the year but also serve as a unique and valuable marketing tool to help grow your brand and connect with new customers.
Usually only ordered as one or two off, calendars using your images supplied either as hard copy photos or jpeg files which can be emailed to us. We ask for 13 images which includes one for a front cover.
Our single personalised calendars are printed on 100gm paper and come with a clear protective front and cardboard backing. A4’s are £9.99 each inc vat and A3’s £19.99 each inc vat.
These make perfect personalised gift for Christmas. Your images could include a new baby, wedding, family pets and kids, treasured holidays… these all make great personalised calendars, the perfect Christmas gift!

In a nutshell, lithographic print uses wet inks and printing plates to produce print, digital print uses dry powder toner fused at a high temperature onto the sheet.
With the latest digital presses on the market giving near lithographic quality, the digital process, as a general rule of thumb, is quicker and financially more suitable for the shorter print runs.
However, there comes a point when the cost of litho and digital meet, and as the quantity grows, lithographic becomes a more cost effective option. We are fortunate to be able to offer both processes, and always ensure that each job is looked at individually, and priced accordingly to give the customer the best price we can.
There are exceptions to this, some jobs are suited more to lithographic print, it could be the weight of the material required is too thick for the digital press, the size of the sheet required is too big, and sometimes it could be that the content of the print just isn’t suited to the digital process, although this is a rare occurrence.
