I’ve got you.
I’m breaking down some of the most common binding types, cover materials, and other essential terms you need to know when creating your custom planner design — complete with a visual because we like to keep it professional AND cute over here.

Bonus Tip:
When referring to your interior pages, know that pages of a planner can be counted in 2 ways — pages or sheets. “Pages” refers to one side of one piece of paper. “Sheets” refers to both sides of one piece of paper. For example, a planner with 100 pages has 50 sheets.
