Now you \nmight think it would be a lot of work to make such an item; getting the \ndates right, knowing where to put the public holidays, how to fit the \nartwork in, and so on. The reality is much simpler than that, a ready to\n go callendar can be yours with a few minutes setup and a only a little \nbit of work and you too have a personalised gift that will have so much \nmore meaning than anything bought from a dollar store or mall popup \nbusiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\n first step in the process is to see if you have Microsoft Office or \nother office application suites like that (Wordperfect, Libre Office, \netc.) If you do then you already have the tools to create your own \ncalendars and wall planners. Every application suite comes with a stack \nof ready made templates for all types of calendars and wall planners \nready to use. Pick one you like and fill in the blanks. Now bear in mind\n that quite a few of them will be set up for other countries so if they \ndo list public holidays then they won\u2019t be New Zealand ones. Also if you\n pick one that is made for the US then it will be set up for US letter \nnot A4 (though we can work around that when we print the calendars for \nyou.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If none of the ones built in to the application suite \nare suitable, just a quick net search will list dozens of websites that \nare dedicated to making and printing of calendars. Just download the \ntemplate (remembering to give it a virus scan as templates are often \nhijacked by nasty people to send out nasty things) then open up in the \napplication it\u2019s designed for. Once again just fill in the blanks and \nthen you will have ready to print product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> From there you \ncan use pre-created templates built by printing companies like us at \nCopy Express. You might not have the flexibility to change every little \ndetail of the design but you know that all the holidays are in the right\n places and you just hit the order button and they will take care of the\n rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The final option is just to get us at Copy Express to\n do the work. Tell us what you need, and supply the text and art \nrequired and we will take care of the rest. The advantage of this is can\n customise the design to every degree, so page size, placement of \nartwork, how the weeks are placed, etc. While it will cost more than \ndoing it yourself but you have left all the work to us and you can sit \nback and enjoy that personalised gift for family or clients.<br> Now if \nyou do want to do it all yourself the two places I do recommend checking\n are the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment page on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govt.nz\/browse\/work\/public-holidays-and-work-2\/public-holidays-and-anniversary-dates\/\"> Public Holidays<\/a> so that you have them on the right day. If you want to include the school holiday you can find them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govt.nz\/browse\/education\/school-and-college\"> here<\/a>\n . Have a go at making them and we will print them for you so you have a\n great gift or promotional item that lasts all of next year\n\n<\/p>\n  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you decided that you want to sent out a personalised gift that people will use all year round, a calendar or wall planner.
