Folded Wall Planners

Custom printed A1 and A2 wall planners, folded to A4 for direct mail, magazine inserts and events. Printed for businesses across London and the UK.

A wall planner's biggest strength is also what makes it awkward to send: its size. A full year on one sheet is exactly what earns a place on a customer's wall, but a flat A1 or A2 print needs a tube, a large envelope and a postage bill to match. Folded wall planners solve that. The full planner is printed at A1 or A2, then folded down to a compact A4 piece that slips into a standard mailer, sits inside a magazine or goes into an event pack. Once it's opened and pinned up, your business stays in view for the whole year.

Folded Wall Planner Printing Options, Explained

Every option in the configurator changes how the planner looks, feels or travels. Here is what each choice means for your order.

A1 or A2 Folded Wall Planner?

An A1 folded wall planner gives twice the printed area of an A2, so there is more room for writing, branding and readability across a room. An A2 folded wall planner fits more walls and suits broad mailings where you can't predict the recipient's space. If you're undecided, our A1 vs A2 size guide walks through the decision in detail.

130gsm or 170gsm, Silk or Gloss?

For large mailings and magazine inserts, 130gsm keeps the folded piece light and flexible. For key clients, or for planners you want to feel more substantial once opened, 170gsm is the stronger choice. Silk is often the more practical finish for planners that will be written on, since it tends to show less glare under office lighting. Gloss suits image-led designs where colour impact matters most.

Print Inside or Print Outside?

This choice decides the first impression. Printing outside puts part of your design on the front of the folded A4 piece, which helps when it's handed out at events or seen in a magazine before it's opened. Printing inside keeps the printed side protected in transit, and the planner is revealed as it's opened. Either way, plan which panel lands on the front when you prepare the artwork.

Quantities and Turnaround

You can order folded wall planners from 125 copies up to 2,000. Smaller runs suit targeted client lists. Larger quantities suit direct-mail campaigns, magazine inserts and trade show stock. Standard turnaround is 5 working days, or choose Saver at 7 working days for a lower price. Both are production times only, so allow for delivery on top, especially if your planners need to reach customers before January.

Promotional Folded Wall Planners That Stay Front of Mind

Most promotional print is read once. A wall planner can stay in view all year. That is the thinking behind sending one to customers each autumn, and the folded format is what makes it practical at scale.

Branded wall planners work best when they're useful first and promotional second. Including the dates your customers actually care about, such as sector events, seasonal peaks or relevant deadlines, gives them a reason to keep the planner up. For ideas on how a planner can map a whole year of business activity, see our guide to using a folded wall planner for the business year.

Artwork Requirements for Custom Folded Wall Planners

Supply your artwork as a print-ready PDF that meets these specifications:

• Size: full unfolded size, A1 (594 × 841 mm) or A2 (420 × 594 mm), not A4
• Bleed: 3mm all round
• Resolution: 300 dpi minimum
• Colour: CMYK
• Fonts: outlined or embedded
• Format: PDF only

Because the finished planner is folded, place your logo, contact details and key dates clear of the fold lines. Check which panel will face outwards when folded, too. Our guide to designing a folded wall planner that folds to A4 covers fold-aware layouts in detail.

If your design isn't ready yet, choose Send It Later when you order. You'll receive a link after checkout to upload the PDF when it's finished, so you can secure your order now and finalise the artwork in your own time. Production starts once the artwork is in.

Why Order Folded Wall Planners From a Croydon-Based Printer

We're a commercial printer based in Croydon, producing print for businesses across London and the rest of the UK. Folded wall planners sit alongside the wider range of planners, calendars and promotional print we produce, so we know what makes them work: artwork supplied at full size, bleed carried to the trim, and a layout planned around the folds.

What you see when you order is what you get: live pricing as you configure, VAT shown separately, and production times stated in working days. If you're ordering for a seasonal mailing, the most useful thing you can do is order early enough to leave room for artwork, production and delivery before your send date.

Other Wall Planners and Calendars to Consider

A folded planner is the right choice when the planner has to travel. If it doesn't, another format may suit you better:

Flat wall planners for your own offices, with no fold lines at all

Wall calendars for a month-to-view layout with more space for daily detail

Promotional calendars for branded giveaways in a page-a-month format

You can compare every format in our wall planners and calendars range, or browse the wider promotional items collection for pieces to send alongside.

Folded Wall Planners: Questions Before You Order

How much do folded wall planners cost?

The price depends on size, paper, quantity and turnaround, and it updates live in the configurator as you choose. Prices are shown excluding VAT. Unit cost generally falls as quantity rises, and the Saver turnaround is cheaper than Standard if you can allow two extra working days.

What is the minimum order for folded wall planners?

The minimum order is 125 copies. You can also order 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000, which suits everything from a targeted client list to a full direct-mail campaign or a run of magazine inserts.

How long does folded wall planner printing take?

Standard turnaround is 5 working days and Saver is 7 working days. These are production times and don't include delivery, so allow extra time if your planners need to reach customers by a set date, such as before the new year.

Can I order now and send my artwork later?

Yes. Choose "Send It Later" in the configurator and we'll send you an upload link after checkout. This secures your order while your design is finished. Production begins once we receive the print-ready PDF.

Are folded wall planners suitable for direct mail?

Yes, that is what the format is designed for. Both A1 and A2 planners fold down to A4, so they fit standard A4 mailers and envelopes without a tube. If you're using a mailing house, confirm the folded thickness and weight with them for postage.

Should I choose print inside or print outside?

Choose print outside when the folded piece needs to attract attention before it's opened, such as event handouts or magazine inserts. Choose print inside when you'd rather protect the printed surface in transit and have the planner revealed as it's opened.

Do you deliver folded wall planners across the UK?

Yes. We're based in Croydon and supply businesses across London and the rest of the UK. Delivery comes after the production turnaround, so plan your order date around when the planners need to arrive.
