Calendars have a standard form. The months are always placed on top and then underneath it, there are columns of days, starting from Monday to Sunday. The dates or numbers are then arranged accordingly.

At times this format can get boring. There are calendars that make these numbers so close together that they are dizzying to look at. The sometimes plain and dull calendars may serve its function as having the ability to tell the exact date, but we often forget that the calendar is even there, hanging on the wall. And this is because the design simply lacks the luster, that striking stance, which makes it easy for us to forget about it.

Calendar printing may observe the standard format. But it doesn't mean that it can't be colorful or exciting. What makes calendar stand out and sell itself are its designs and its quality.
