Custom made calendars for Malaysian offices: desk, table and wall

Custom made calendars for Malaysian offices: desk, table and wall
Custom made calendars in Malaysia come in two main formats, table (often called desk) and wall. Gifthxs prints table calendars only. The minimum is 300 sets per design, at RM 11.70 to RM 16.90 per set at that minimum, falling as you order more. Production takes 21 working days after logo approval.
What desk, table and wall mean in a Malaysian office
A table calendar sits within arm's reach of one person all year, which is why it works as a client gift. In this article, desk calendar and table calendar mean the same thing: a small calendar that stands up on its own, with a base or a fold, and sits next to a monitor. A wall calendar hangs from a nail or a hook, is usually larger, and shows the whole month at a distance.
A wall calendar is seen by everyone who walks past. A table calendar belongs to one person. If you are ordering for a client list, that one person is the reader you want.
Gifthxs does not print wall calendars. Our live range is table calendars only, in four designs. If your brief says wall, this article will help you decide whether you need one.
Choosing custom made calendars in Malaysia: the Reach, Footprint, Use test
Start with where the calendar will live. Run your brief through three checks, which we call the Reach, Footprint, Use test.
- Reach. Who handles it daily? If the answer is one named person, choose a desk or table calendar. If the answer is a whole room, choose a wall calendar.
- Footprint. How much space does that person have? Check the size of the calendar against the desk it will stand on, because a shared desk has less spare room than a manager's desk.
- Use. Will they write on it, or just look at it? Planning, leave marking and meeting dates call for a calendar with monthly pages. A display piece that also tells the date suits a wheel calendar.
The table below puts the formats against the things a buyer weighs.
| Format | Where it lives | Who sees it | Good for | Do we print it? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Desk or table calendar | Beside the keyboard, on a shelf, on a reception counter | One person, every working day | Client and staff gifts, year-long brand recall | Yes, four designs |
| Wall calendar | Meeting room, pantry, shop floor | Everyone in the room | Shared schedules, shift planning | No |
| Wheel table calendar | Desk, shelf, side table | One person | A small display piece that also tells the date | Yes, two of our four designs |
If the calendar is a gift, put it on the receiver's desk. A calendar works as a thank-you that lasts all year, because the receiver sees your brand every time they check the date.
Four table calendars in two formats
Our four designs split into two groups, and all four are die-cut. Captured in Time and Malaysian Festive Wheel are turning wheel calendars, printed on 350gsm art card with matt lamination on one side and bound with a screw. They have no monthly pages, so they work as a small display piece that also tells the date.
Journey Across Spaces and Seasons In Bloom are the planning calendars, with a page for every month. Journey Across Spaces measures 21cm by 14.8cm (A5 landscape). Seasons In Bloom measures 22cm by 20.5cm. Check the product page for the paper and binding of each design before you order.
Before you pick a design, read table calendar printing in Malaysia and when companies order, which covers the ordering season and how it shapes who gets stock and when.
Where your logo goes, and your own dates
The design decides where the logo goes. On the two wheel calendars the logo goes on the front cover only. On Journey Across Spaces and Seasons In Bloom the logo goes on every monthly page, so the receiver sees your brand each time they turn the month. We send a mockup for approval before anything is printed.
The two calendars with monthly pages can also carry your own dates in the grid. Public holidays, a campaign launch, a company anniversary or the annual dinner can all be set into the printed calendar. The wheel calendars cannot do this, because they have no monthly grid to put dates into.
If your team plans leave and events on paper, choose a design with monthly pages and have your company dates printed in. For 2027, Chinese New Year falls on 6 and 7 February. Hari Raya Aidilfitri is expected around 10 and 11 March, subject to the moon sighting and the official gazette. States add their own holidays to the federal list, so confirm the dates before you send artwork.
Quantities, free extras and prices
The minimum order is 300 sets, and it applies per design. You cannot split one 300-set order across two designs, so a mixed order means a separate 300-set order for each. Order 300 calendars, get 50 extra free, 350 in total. The table shows the other tiers, with the price per set for each design. West Malaysia delivery is included in the unit price.
| Sets ordered | Extra free | Total calendars | Captured in Time and Malaysian Festive Wheel | Journey Across Spaces | Seasons In Bloom |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 300 | 50 | 350 | RM 11.70 per set | RM 16.90 per set | RM 16.90 per set |
| 500 | 50 | 550 | RM 7.71 per set | RM 11.90 per set | RM 11.90 per set |
| 1,000 | 100 | 1,100 | RM 5.25 per set | RM 7.90 per set | RM 7.20 per set |
| 2,000 | 200 | 2,200 | RM 4.10 per set | RM 6.20 per set | RM 5.90 per set |
At the 300-set minimum that is RM 3,510 for either wheel design and RM 5,070 for either planning design. Two routes need a custom order instead of checkout: any delivery to East Malaysia, and any order above 2,000 sets. We quote those by location and quantity.
21 working days from logo approval
A calendar takes 21 working days after you approve the logo mockup. That is working days, not calendar days. Our order-by guidance is November 2026 for December delivery. We do not promise a delivery date in peak season.
If you are still deciding between printers, how to pick a calendar supplier without missing your December deadline walks through what to ask and in what order. Ask each supplier for the lead time per product in writing.
The 21 working days only start once the logo is approved. You can save time on your side: send the logo as a vector file, answer the mockup promptly, and keep the design count low, because each extra design is a separate 300-set order.
When a wall calendar is the better answer
A wall calendar is the right choice for a shared space, such as a production floor with shift rotas or a front office where a dozen people need the same month in view. Order it from a wall calendar specialist, and keep the table calendar for the people you want to thank.
If a team needs both, the wall calendar can cover the office while table calendars go to clients and key vendors. For the wider picture of when those gifts land in the year, see the Malaysian corporate gifting year, quarter by quarter.
Our calendar printing Malaysia page lists all four custom made calendars with current prices, and you can order there. Use "desk calendar" or "table calendar" in your brief, and either way you will get the same standing calendar.
FAQ
What is the difference between a desk calendar and a table calendar?
Usually none. Both words describe a small calendar that stands on a desk, shelf or counter. When you request a quote, ask each supplier for the size and the stand type so every quote prices the same object.
Does Gifthxs print wall calendars?
No. Gifthxs prints table calendars only, in four designs: Captured in Time, Malaysian Festive Wheel, Journey Across Spaces and Seasons In Bloom. If your brief needs a hanging wall calendar, you will need a printer that makes them.
What is the minimum order for custom made calendars in Malaysia?
The minimum at Gifthxs is 300 sets per design, and designs cannot be mixed inside one 300-set minimum. Order 300 calendars, get 50 extra free, 350 in total. At the 300-set minimum a set costs RM 11.70 to RM 16.90 depending on the design, and the price per set falls as you order more.
How long does custom calendar printing take in Malaysia?
At Gifthxs a calendar takes 21 working days after you approve the logo mockup. The order-by guidance is November 2026 for December delivery. We do not guarantee delivery dates in peak season, so leave slack for public holidays and for the time your own team takes to approve the mockup.
Can I put my own company dates on a custom calendar?
Yes, on Journey Across Spaces and Seasons In Bloom, the two designs with monthly pages. Public holidays, campaign launches and company anniversaries can be set into the calendar grid. The two wheel calendars, Captured in Time and Malaysian Festive Wheel, have no monthly pages, so they cannot carry custom dates.
