The trade only supplier Lowe Aston has recently seen an increased demand to their range of UK made Shipping Calendars.

This is accredited to a number of factors, primarily Brexit with customers wishing to source UK manufactured products to ensure their deliveries are met. Stories of goods being held at customs for a number of weeks or even months; higher costs and levies being added to prices and import paperwork are all good reasons for distributors and customers to choose a UK based company to supply their promotional calendars.

Lowe Aston manufacture the largest UK range of shipping calendars on site at their factory, using skilled staff to put the multi-pad calendar components together by hand. Available in wall and desk versions with stitched or glued date pads and colour matched sheets, companies are even able to customise calendars further by matching brand colours on the pages for large quantities.

Two new designs have been added to the range for 2022.

The large tri-monthly design is now available with a grey pad in addition to a blue version. These calendars offer large, multi-advert areas with one large and three smaller areas in between the pads. The months and days are shown in six different languages and feature a date cursor. They can be printed in full colour to feature the customers own image and are supplied folded inserted into rigid mailing cartons which conform to Royal Mail’s Large Letter postage rate, being economical to post.

For those looking to save further on distribution costs, a new postage saver version of the compact tri-monthly shipping calendar has also been introduced.

With a UK manufacturer, there are no extra or hidden shipping costs to consider and reliability is a key factor when supplying trade customers. Consideration should be given to lead times with Lowe Aston advising that by using a UK manufacturer, there’s no worry about reliability of delivery and customs complications. With artwork and proof included in the price, shipping calendars prove time and time again to be an effective form of advertising.
