Custom Planner Design projects take 4 months to complete and Overseas Production takes about 6 months. To ensure you have plenty of time to market and sell your planner before its start date, we recommend contacting us 1 year before you want to launch your new planner.

For your planning purposes, here are some important dates:

Calendar year planners typically launch in September.

Academic planners typically launch May.

If you’re creating an undated planner, you have flexibility, but keep in mind, it’s still going to take about 9 months to create.

Our vendors are our secret sauce, so we reserve this proprietary information for full service clients. If you sign on to work with us for Product Line Expansion or Overseas Production Management, you’ll get an introduction to the vendor(s) we select to work on your products.

This is the only way you’ll get one of our vendor names, or several, if we’re creating your entire product line.

The simple answer is no. Our specialty is overseas manufacturing — we’ve been doing it for nearly 20 years! It may not be easy, but the outcome is always a high quality product that doesn’t throw your budget off track.

In our experience, it may be quicker to produce your planner in the US, but you’ll end up paying more for a subpar product.
