Personalised Calendar Printing Recommendations

December 11, 2010 12:19 AM

I upload photos - they print a calendar using the photos and then they post on my behalf within UK to UK addresses. Recommendations ?

I want to send my relatives in the UK a calendar decorated with my photos. I'm interested to hear of UK based providers in who mefafilter people may have used and be able to recommend.

I want to be able to upload the photos, 'design' the calendar, have it printed and posted to UK addresses.

I want three copies of the calendar in total, sent to three different addresses and (guess what) they need to arrive in time for Christmas !

Photobox is pretty good...

I use cafe press for my calendars. The quality is pretty good, way better than lulu. They're not UK based but I sell a number of mine overseas to the UK and beyond each year...do not know if they fufil them there or just ship from the states. Might be worth checking out, anyway.

I have only used them to print my photos but Truprint also allow you to make gifts like calendars.

I used Snapfish to do exactly this a couple of weeks ago (well, I made a mosaic poster with text rather than a calendar) and was happy with the results.

I've had real good results with lulu.com. Not sure id they ship to the UK though.

Lulu do ship to the UK, in fact they ship FROM the UK so they must have a local printshop somewhere.

Photobox has always been good for me. Haven't done a calendar specifically but prints and poster prints etc have always been timely and good quality.

I've been using photobox for 4 years now, awesome quality, fast post and perfection every time!

The calendars are pretty flawless, I make around 10 per year featuring my illustrations as gifts for friends, etc. The A3/A4 are my favourites.
