Monthly photo calendars: a cover and a photo for every month

Beside the single-sheet calendar, your Picsha Cards storefront can sell the wall calendar people picture: a cover and twelve month leaves, one to three photographs over each month, printed on photo paper and wire-o bound along the top. Thirteen sheets, each printed on one side, on the lab you already run, bound at your counter.

Turn them on first

Monthly calendars are off until you offer them. In your admin page, open Prices, find the Calendars section under your card sizes, and click Offer on the monthly rows you want. Two sizes are offered today, priced per calendar:

• Monthly calendar 8×10 — suggested $34.99
• Monthly calendar 11×14 — suggested $49.99

Those are starting points; set your own price in the same row.

What the customer does

1. Picks a monthly calendar in step one and adds photos — up to 40, so every page can have its own.
2. Picks a cover, then works through the pages by name. On any month they can choose 1, 2 or 3 photos for that page and swap any photo for another they added.
3. Sets Starts in, Week starts on and whether to mark US holidays, and adds a title for the cover.
4. Chooses how many, enters their details, and pays.

Under the photos the storefront says how the pictures fall across the pages — "13 photos fill every page; you have 8, so months will repeat" — so nobody buys a calendar with one picture on every leaf by accident.

Any month, every leaf dated

Like the single sheet, a monthly calendar starts in any of the next eighteen months, so one bought in July runs August through July. Every leaf prints its own year, so a flipped page never leaves anyone wondering which February it is. US federal holidays are marked in the accent color with their names, and each day's box has room to write in.

What you get

A paid order gives you, on the order in your admin page:

• Thirteen JPEGs at the calendar's exact size, 300 dpi, no crop marks — the cover first, then the months in order. Print them on your photo printer at 100%.
• One PDF of thirteen pages, with bleed and crop marks, for a press.
• A printable order summary with the cover, the quantity and the customer's details.

The backs are blank. Stack the leaves cover on top, punch along the top edge and close a wire-o through the stack. Type keeps clear of the top 15 mm on every leaf, so the punch never touches a date; the photographs run under it, as on any wall calendar.

If you run Photogize Lab, a monthly order arrives as thirteen jobs named to collate — Cover, then Page 2 - August 2026 and so on — on the Lab product you mapped the size to, which can be the 8×10 or 11×14 print product you already sell. The order's instructions say how the leaves bind. See Sending orders to Photogize Lab.

Monthly calendars work on the kiosk exactly as cards do, and customer photos are deleted after 30 days.
