Frequently Asked Questions – Calendar Accessories
What accessories are needed to produce calendars?
The most commonly used items are binding spirals, hanging tabs for mounting (e.g., for three-part calendars), date windows for indicating the day, and wire for spiral production.
How to choose a calendar spiral (pitch and diameter)?
The choice depends mainly on the thickness of the calendar block (number of sheets) and the format. For thinner blocks, a 3:1 pitch is often used, while thicker blocks typically use 2:1. Choose the spiral diameter so the pages turn freely, without excessive looseness.
Spiral pitch 3:1 or 2:1 — which one to choose?
A 3:1 pitch gives a tighter hole pattern and a more refined look for thinner blocks. A 2:1 pitch works better for thicker materials, where you need greater binding capacity.
Are spirals suitable for wall and desk calendars?
Yes. Spirals are popular for both wall calendars (easy page turning) and desk calendars (stable binding and convenient use). They are also used to produce notebooks and book-style calendars.
Which hangers should you choose for three-part calendars?
The choice depends on the calendar’s design and mounting method. Most commonly, standard hangers or the “stick” type are used. If you’re not sure, it’s best to match the hanger to the calendar’s thickness and layout.
What is a date window used for in a calendar?
A date window makes it easy to quickly indicate the current day. In three-part calendars, it improves readability and user convenience.
A date window with an elastic band or without?
A version with an elastic band holds better on the calendar pad and is more stable. A version without an elastic band can be easier to slide quickly—your choice depends on the design and the user’s preference.
What wire is used to produce calendar spirals?
Most commonly, bookbinding wire is used (including coated wire), selected for the required diameter and durability. In mass production, consistent parameters and compatibility with the machines are especially important.
Are the accessories available in different colors?
Yes—many accessories (e.g., spirals and wire) are available in different color options. For mass production, it’s worth matching the color to the design and brand identity.
What information is needed to select the accessories and prepare a quote?
Please provide the calendar format, type (wall/desk/three-part), block thickness, binding type, and your preferences (color, hanger type, date window option). This will allow us to make a quick and accurate selection.
