Design 2026 calendars with calendar templates

A calendar accompanies you throughout the year - it helps you to keep an overview, plan appointments and record important moments. But a calendar can do so much more: it is a wonderful gift that is not only useful, but also emotional. Imagine giving a photo calendar with pictures of your family, children or grandchildren - a new smile every month that brings joy.

Customised calendars are also a clever solution for companies: whether as a promotional gift for customers or as a motivating annual companion for employees - a calendar is always the right choice. You can integrate your logo, your brand colours and even important dates directly. This makes the calendar a practical everyday helper and an appealing brand ambassador at the same time.

Whether for personal or business use, you're guaranteed not to go wrong with a self-designed calendar. And the best thing? You decide what it looks like - from the format to the images to the calendar. Let your creativity run wild!

How to design your calendar step by step - the menu at a glance

The calendar design at Infowerk is intuitive and flexible. You can use the clearly structured menu to customise your calendar to your liking - from the format to the last detail. Here you can find out which functions are available to you:

Customise product

In the "Customise product" menu item, you can define the basic properties of your calendar:

• Select the format between A6 and A3
• Choose between portrait or landscape format
• Decide on the type of binding and the colour of the Wire-O binding
• Determine the paper thickness and choose a suitable finish, e.g. glossy or matt

Edit the calendar

Under "Edit calendar", you can specify the starting month of your calendar and decide whether the week should begin on Monday or Sunday - according to your personal rhythm.

Add texts

You have two options in the "Texts " section:

• Enter your texts directly
• Or use the AI-supported text function to have suitable content suggested to you - ideal for sayings, quotes or small messages

Add photos

Upload your own pictures and design each month with personal memories - whether family photos, holiday pictures or creative motifs.

Add graphics

Add frames, shapes, masks and other graphic elements to your design to give your calendar a personalised look.

Layouts

Choose from eight professionally designed templates under "Layouts", which you can further customise as you wish - so you can quickly find a design that suits your style.

Add a QR code

With the integrated QR code generator, you can easily create a code that links to a website, phone number, email address or other digital content - perfect for company calendars or interactive elements.

Toolbox

In the toolbox you will find practical tools that make designing easier:

• Zoom and rotate for precise placement
• Guide lines and grids to align your layout neatly
• Activatesave or autosave so that nothing is lost
• And: you can download your calendar for €0.99 to check it before printing or use it digitally

These functions give you full control over your calendar - creative, professional and just the way you like it.

General tips for calendar design

1. clarify goal and purpose

• Firstly, think about who the calendar is intended for: family, customers, employees or yourself?
• Depending on the target group, you can customise the style, content and image selection.

2. consciously choose the format and layout

• Portrait format looks classic and elegant, landscape format is good for panoramic images or wide motifs.
• Use the layout templates as a basis and customise them individually - pay attention to a balanced distribution of images and text.

3. image quality counts

• Use high-resolution photos so that the print is razor-sharp.
• Ensure good lighting, clear motifs and a consistent visual language across all months.

4. coordinate colours and fonts

• Choose colours that match your images and don't distract from the content.
• Use a maximum of two to three fonts - clearly legible and stylistically appropriate to the calendar theme.

5. design the calendar sensibly

• Decide whether the week should start on Monday or Sunday.
• Add personal appointments, public holidays, birthdays or internal company events - this makes the calendar more useful and personal.

6. use texts wisely

• Short quotes, monthly mottos or personal messages liven up the design.
• Use the AI text function to get inspiration - but adapt the texts to your style.

7. use graphic elements in a targeted way

• Frames, masks and shapes can emphasise images - but less is often more.
• Ensure a uniform design so that the calendar doesn't look overloaded.

8. use QR codes cleverly

• Link to your website, social media channels or digital content - particularly practical for company calendars.
• Place the QR code discreetly but clearly visible.

9. preview and test print

• Use the preview function or download your calendar to check it (the download costs a small surcharge of €0.99).
• This way you can check the final details and make sure that everything fits.

10. incorporate emotions and personality

• A calendar lives from the stories it tells - be it through pictures, texts or special dates.
• Make it a real annual companion that brings joy and keeps memories alive.
