Production notes for postcard desk calendars
Desk calendars with removable postcards have to work as both a standing object and a set of tear-away keepsakes. This project uses 130# silk cover stock, a custom base, and perforated pages so each month can be displayed first and then reused without damaging the remaining calendar.
For similar calendar, donor, and institutional gift projects, we review base construction, page count, perforation strength, postcard size, image sequence, binding hardware, and packing method. Those details determine whether the calendar stands reliably and whether the removable cards feel intentional after they are detached.
