Desk Pad Calendars Types and Styles
Get the right kind of calendar desk pads for promotional or in-office use
Desk calendar pads, also known as blotter calendars, are a staple in many offices. They are perfect for setting underneath a computer keyboard and have lots of room for writing down phone numbers and appointments.There are several desk pad calendars types and styles you can order for your business. Since these calendars are fairly standard in size, most differences will be more subtle than with other calendar types. This means you have to look closely at what's offered. For example, consider the following:
1. Four-cornered calendar desk pads versus two-cornered ones.
2. Calendars with decorative trim.
3. Eco-friendly flat desk calendars made of recycled paper.
Look at the difference between two- and four-cornered desk calendar pads
Of course, since all desk calendar pads are rectangular, they will all have paper with four corners. The style differences come in when you look at the base that sits under the calendars' paper. The calendar either slips into it only at the two bottom corners or at all four of them. Two-cornered bases give you more writing room but also give the paper more opportunity to slip out of the base.
Try: Visit Graphic Ice, Inc. for a good example of a calendar with a two-cornered base. Then go to the site for Promopeddler to check out the four-cornered style. Both of these companies allow you to put your company's information on the calendar.
Compare customized desk pad calendars with trim at the top
If you want to leave your calendar desk pad completely uncovered, or you're looking for another place to put your company's logo, you may want a desk pad that has trim across the top edge for a more interesting look. The trim usually consists of an inch or two of vinyl or leather that stays put even after the user tears off each calendar page.
Try: Check out Show Your Logo's calendars for desks. They have room for you to put your company name in white across the black vinyl trim. Then go to Office Depot's site and look at the At-A-Glance Personalize It calendar. You can place up to three 3" by 5" photographs in the slots in the trim, making it perfect for personal office use.
Consider a recycled desk mat calendar
Recycled flat desk calendars are perfect for you and your clients or potential ones. You can feel good about doing something to help the Earth and people you give them to may see your business in a little bit greener light.
Try: Look at the desk pad calendars House of Doolittle offers. This company specializes in recycled paper products. Then look at Dolphin Blue's products for more green options. Note that some of these calendars are not customizable. If you give them away you may want to package them with imprinted products, such as sticky notes and pens.
