Calendar: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.18 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

What moves the price
For calendar, the drivers are paper count, number of parts, paper weight, binding type, print method, size, material, backing — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For custom calendars, the biggest price drivers are paper stock/weight, binding or mounting method, print coverage, and add-ons such as foil, embossing, lamination, or specialty finishes; supplier quotes also move with whether the product is a simple desk blotter, spiral-bound desk calendar, or wall calendar. Realistic routes are US-facing promotional printers for higher-quality, lower-MOQ orders and China-based trade suppliers/importers for the low end of the market; published wholesale examples show custom desk calendars around $0.20-$1.20 at 500+ units and around $1.50-$3.00 at 1,000 MOQ for spiral-bound versions, while branded US promotional calendars can run several dollars each at low quantities
