Cheaper source for calendars?

[ozzfreak]

I am looking for a good place for calendars. I have a huge demand, but I can't find anything for a decent price. I don't know how much people would pay, but I'm sure it isn't going to be 30 dollars a calendar. Is there even a place that can help?

I found that unless you order like 500 the price is just to much to justify. Hopefully somebody will post something good for us!

Shutterfly sometimes will have buy one at regular price and get additional at 1/2 price. That brings the cost a little better, but their normal price is too high, IMO. I'll be monitoring this thread as well for more ideas.

EDIT: Looks like for 25 you get for $11.96 each and 50 at $10 each.

I just ran across this site you might check them out looks like around $19.00 each Press Printed Products | MeridianPro.com

vista print did some for a group of mine for this years and they turned out ok. they where also about 12.00 a piece i believe. i mean how high quality are you looking for?

[ozzfreak]

heavy paper, good print quality. I don't want it feeling like cheap magazine paper.

[knight.productions]

nope this was pretty heavy stuff nicely bound and had it not been for some of the low res picture some of the people sent in from our group it would have turned out really top notch.

[ozzfreak]

alright, thanks. I'll send a test print off with them in a few weeks, thanks.

That is not bad at all. How's the quality??

Thanks,
Jay

That is a good deal. I called locally, figured what the heck, worth a shot. One place wanted between 25-29 a calendar, I practically laughed at them. Then another place, i was not having high hopes. I called them, they told me they would get back with me in a few days. A week later they finally did. She was hesitiating to tell me the price. Finally she said, if I just start out with 10, they will be 8 dollars a piece, and would be cheaper if i got more. I was like wow. She said what, i said you are the cheapest out of anyone. She said really? By how much? I said, do I have to tell you that? lol. I ended up not telling her by how much. I go by in a few days for a free sample calendar to take. I do have to make my own templates, but they print, and assemble them for that price. She will make the template for $35, but I'd just assume do it myself. Here's to hoping.

It is good, not top quality fine art but certainly appropriate for marketing material. MP is widely used by studios for their marketing material. I would try a small order and see if it is what you are looking for.

I'm curious how the calendars turned out. If you liked them, would you be willing to share the contact info for the business? I would like to make about 25 to use for Holiday gifts. Thanks.
