Printable VS Store-Bought Calendars: Which is Better?

Now that 2020 is drawing to a close, are you in the market for a new calendar? If so, you should first decide between printing your calendar to put into a binder, or going with a store-bought calendar that is already put together.

Here are some comparisons between the two options.

Printable Calendars Save You Money

If you are looking to a calendar without spending a lot, using printables is your best bet. Of course, this depends on whether or not you have the paper and ink already, otherwise it might cost you more. However, with everything else ready to go, you can usually print around 13 or 14 pages – printing on both sides. On the face is the actual calendar and on the backside will be the picture for the next month.

If you don’t want to print your downloaded calendar file on your home printer, another option is to take the file to a local print shop[ and have them print it for you. They can also bind the pages in a variety of ways making for a more complete-looking calendar. They usually charge from $10.00 to $15.00 for this service.

Store-Bought Calendars Don’t Have to be Printed

A benefit of the store-bought variety is that there is no printing to be done. You don’t have to worry about how to print on either side of the page, making sure you have enough ink, or printing the right size.  But of course this is also not a concern if you have a local print shop print out your calendar.

In the end, it all comes down to personal preference. But whether you print your own or have it done for you, the result is the same – a functional calendar with a beautiful new image each month. Many people save the image once the month is done and frame them – they are that stunning.
