Advent calendars / laser cut in New York

Custom wooden advent calendars with your logo or names, laser cut in New York.

PrintAWorld makes custom wooden advent calendars in New York: laser-cut wood or acrylic calendars with 24 doors or drawers, with your logo, a pattern or family names engraved, or printed in color. Companies order branded advent calendars as client and employee gifts and for PR seeding, in small and medium runs instead of an overseas factory minimum. The calendars, filling, minimum and lead time are quoted per project; engraving a logo or name is a $75–$150 setup plus $10–$35 per calendar.

A wooden advent calendar people bring out every December.

Cardboard calendars get recycled on December 25. A wooden one with your logo on it comes back out every year, refilled, so the gift keeps your name in front of the client.

We laser cut the doors and drawers from wood or acrylic, engrave your logo or names, and print color where you want it. You fill them, or we quote the filling.

Branded advent calendars

A run sized to your client list, made in New York.

Overseas advent calendar factories usually want hundreds of pieces and months of lead time. We cut, engrave and assemble here, so the run can match the number of clients or staff you have. The minimum is quoted per project.

We build and approve one calendar first, then the rest on the same setup, with names checked against your list.

Before you order

Advent calendar questions, answered.

How much does a custom wooden advent calendar cost?

Laser engraving is a $75–$150 setup per job plus $10–$35 per piece: small flat items from $10; bottles, curved or multi-side items up to $35. The calendar itself (cutting and assembly), color printing, filling and packing are quoted per project, since they depend on the size, the doors or drawers and the count. Rush adds 50%. Ask for several quantities and we price each one.

Is there a minimum order?

The minimum is quoted per project. Tell us how many you need; we build to your count instead of a factory minimum, and the $75–$150 engraving setup is charged once per job, so a larger run costs less per calendar.

How long does it take?

Lead time is quoted per project, because cutting and assembling a calendar takes longer than engraving one. Tell us your in-hand date first; calendars open on December 1. Rush jobs are possible case by case.

Do you fill the calendars?

You can fill them yourself, or we quote filling per project. Tell us the size of what goes inside so each door or drawer fits it.

Are the calendars refillable?

Yes. The doors and drawers open and close, so the calendar can be refilled and used again every year.

Can each calendar have a different name?

Yes. Send the names in a spreadsheet. We keep the design the same and engrave a name on each calendar, checked against your list.

Can our logo be in color?

Yes. We UV print full-color artwork on the flat panels, with white ink for dark wood. Engraving alone gives a dark brown mark on wood.

Wood or acrylic?

Wood looks warm and traditional and engraves dark. Acrylic comes in brand colors. A calendar can mix them: a wood frame with colored acrylic doors.

Do you ship?

Yes, anywhere in the United States, or pickup from our studios in Glendale, Queens or Brooklyn by appointment. Mailing each piece to a different address is quoted per project.
