Desk pad calendar
A desk pad calendar sits on your customer's desk all year round. It works as a planner, as a desk protector and as a quiet advertising space for your business. Tradespeople, agencies and local authorities hand them out at the end of the year, then stay in view for twelve months. Printed to order in our workshop in the Gers.

Which paper for your desk pad calendar?
The desk pad calendar comes on one paper only, 90 gsm offset, and that follows from how it is used. Uncoated stock takes ballpoint, pencil and highlighter without the ink sitting on the surface. It does not bounce ceiling light back, so your artwork stays readable under office lighting. It is thin enough to keep a 50 sheet block reasonable in depth, and each sheet tears away cleanly along the glued edge.
Available sizes
A2, 420 x 594 mm, spans the width of a working desk. It suits reception counters and workshops, where the planning grid still has room once your branded header is reserved. A3, 297 x 420 mm, slips between keyboard and screen and works better for a wide mailing. Both sizes are configured in our desk pad calendar section, part of the wider promotional calendar range.
Binding and number of sheets
The block is glued at the head or at the foot, on a board backing that keeps it flat. Head gluing is handled with one hand and leaves the lower part of the sheet free for notes. Foot gluing keeps your header visible until the last sheet. Choose 25 or 50 sheets depending on how often you want the page to turn.
Preparing your file
Supply a PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK, with 2 mm bleed on every edge and a 4 mm safety margin for text and logos. Keep the glued edge free of anything important: it disappears under the board backing.
2M Numerique at your side
Your calendar is printed and finished in Manciet, in the Gers. That 100% Made In Occitanie is the point of our responsible approach. Tell us the size and the number of sheets you have in mind and we will quote accordingly.
Made here
94 % of our orders were produced in-house in 2024-2025, and 100 % in France. Our workshop is in Manciet, in the Gers, near Nogaro — recent machinery, local workshops. Less transport, faster turnaround.
Committed suppliers
We source our materials from regional partners who share our standards. Our main textile supplier is a French manufacturer whose site in Hagetmau, in the neighbouring Landes, supplies us through a short circuit — EcoVadis Platinum 2024, organic cotton and recycled textile ranges certified GOTS and GRS. Our paper comes from sustainably managed forests.
Less waste
PVC offcuts, paper and substrates are sorted and recovered; our adhesive films are available in recycled PVC. Nesting and imposition of files cut offcuts down: we print the right quantity. And low-impact inks, for prints that last.
A person, not a form
A close-knit team, from the first idea to the finished product. Every project, large or small, gets the same care. A question about your file? +33 5 33 13 02 01.
