Look, mom! I'm a calendar girl!

I need to find a great full-service business that can print and do fulfillment on thousands of 2011 calendars (they'll probably be purchased worldwide). Reasonably priced with great customer service por favor. Also, I'm a designer and the photos are going to be fantastic so I want to make sure the quality's great. Yeah, I'm demanding, I know. :) Any recommendations?

mpix. I've never ordered "thousands" of anything from them, but I know they do fulfillment, and their quality and customer service can't be beat. If you email them and tell them what you want, I'm sure they can help. (I think they may have some kind of more commercial arm, too, but I can't remember what it is right now.)

Response by poster: I've heard of them via NAPP... but the thing is, looks like on their site they charge more for each calendar than I was even planning on charging customers to purchase them. I need to call to talk to an agent to see what their quantity discount is, but the printing for a calendar in a large quantity bulk run should be much closer to $2 than $20.

You might want to try vistaprint. They are cheap, quality is good, but not the perfect screenprinted look. They specialize in business cards and have lots of deals if you buy in bulk. Good luck!

I only have experience with one LA company, and customer service tends to be about good communication, which is easiest to achieve in person. Anyway, Zada Graphics (wow, their site is kind of a dump) did great work for me. I'd recommend them as worth a call. I'm not sure what equipment they have in-house, but I expect that if you talk with Alan Zada he'll help you get what you need done.
