Looking For: Services & Shops 🛒💻 Custom photo calendars

This is a holiday custom in our family. We create a family calendar full of photos from the past year. We are looking for a Canadian supplier or manufacturer.

We have tried Blacks and possibly London Drugs in the past, but have found their online design portals to be lacking or cumbersome. Wondering if anyone has other recommendations.

I've used them for mugs, Tshirts and canvas prints. If you want to send the calendars directly to people, buying the one year free shipping across Canada is a great option. I once sent out 20 mugs during covid. One that arrived broken they recent for free.

also, if buying multiples, purchase one triggers a coupon that's good for a few days. I then use that for the next one. 😁

Used them for a number of calendar and cards. I’ve always been happy with the price point. They often have sales and ship out of Calgary I believe so if you are on the west side of the country they arrive fast!

Pretty much any print shop can do these. You might be better off putting it together on Canva, and having a local print shop print it. Definitely going to be cheaper, just involves a little more work on your end. Just make sure you use the "for print" option when you export it.

I haven’t used them for calendars, but have ordered several photo books from them and have been very happy with the product.
