Calendars that you can mail? Nothing new in that. Calendars that you can mail that turn into pen holders – now that is something a bit different! Calendars and pen holders that you can mail and that have an automatic pop up action – well now, that is something different!

 Our range of pop up mailers is very adaptable as each pop up product starts as a blank canvas. The choice of what is printed on the products is left entirely to your graphic designer. But as we start to approach the third quarter of the year it is time to think ahead to the end of the year and give some time to the subject of Christmas and New Year promotions. A promotional calendar has always been a popular and sensible choice.

 Pretty well any shape in our 3-D range can be printed as a desk top calendar and some of them can be adapted for use as pen holders. This simple action has the effect of doubling the product’s use to your client and also doubles the likelihood of being kept on your customer’s desk for the next 12 months. The fact that it has an automatic pop up action only enhances its appeal as a Christmas and New Year promotional tool.

 The Pop Up Ball, Cube, Castle, House, Pen Pals and Pyramids have all been printed as desktop calendars at some stage or other but not all of them are suitable for conversion to double as a pen holder. We have chosen just 5 products from our range as examples that are totally suited to being used as pen holders and the unusual shaped ones are our pop up cube, the Six Ball and our pop up house along with two styles of regular pen pots! However, other products can be converted such as our pop up castle, the choc box and pop up cuboids and with the right choice of graphic design each one could be a successful calendar as well.

 Christmas and the New Year seem to be eons away but in reality there are only about 16 weeks left in the year to plan, design and print pop-up calendars and pen holders for 2009. We usually start to take orders at the end of August through to the end of November but those last minute jobs are always stressed out affairs because of the desire to catch the Christmas post. We urge you to start planning now to ensure that everything runs as smoothly and as stress free as possible.
