The reasons for creating customized calendars can vary. Some are published as fundraisers for organizations. Others function as something of a catalog for individuals who have artwork that they wish to sell. Whatever the reasoning behind the product, the consumer can generally choose from any number of formats. They may wish to publish a standard twelve month calendar that features a new photo or illustration for each month. Or they might be interested in creating a simple tear off calendar that features only one photo or illustration. Other options could include a one page year at a glance format or choose from a variety of borders or clip art that can accompany personal photographs. Desktop calendars are available as well.

Consumers who are interested in publishing just a few copies of a calendar can take advantage of custom calendar printing as well. This is available through short run print services thanks to digital printing technology. Traditional offset printers usually require a large minimum order. Digital technology allows the customer to print only as many copies as are needed. If more copies are needed at a later date, this can generally be handled as well, and at a reasonable price. If a potential customer wishes to calendars, but does not own any type of calendar printing software, many services exist which offer free design templates and easy to follow, step by step procedures. As with other publishing services, the consumer can choose from the standard monthly format, or the full year on one page style. If a consumer is interested in producing calendars that feature one page per day, this option can also be achieved, all though it will generally cost a significant amount more than the traditional format.
