For custom planner manufacturers and related industries, a business planner is a broad term, while a business planner can be understood as the domain of B2B customization. We must be familiar with all types of planner structures in this field. Essentially, any book or notebook production, whether it is called a journal, diary, calendar, etc., generally covers pre-press manuscript preparation, inner page layout design, overall structural balance, cover material application, and printing choices such as paper selection, ink mixing, legibility testing, press check, as well as post-printing processing like folding, collation, stitching, unit configuration, gluing, embossing temperature, high-frequency pressure timing adjustments, and finally five-layer corrugated box shipping. Leatai upholds the highest standards, professionally communicating and discussing every aspect with each customer, aiming to create the ideal high-quality planner that customers envision while looking forward to growing together with each one.

Suppose you’re new to custom planners or planner printing and production, whether you want to design your planner or choose a manufacturer’s public edition. In that case, we recommend filtering through the following points to find a suitable product type faster:
1. Product Type
There are four major categories of product type, each suitable for different materials. In other words, not all materials universally apply across the four major categories. Therefore, if you can determine the type, we will provide relevant materials or samples, and you can choose a suitable style from there.
2. Budget
From a budget perspective, starting with general materials, the order of planner unit prices from high to low among the four categories is as follows:
Loose-leaf Planner > Removable Planner > Hardcover Planner > Spiral-bound Planner > Paperback Planner.
Of course, customization content, material, and quantity can also affect the cost. The suggested minimum order for customization is 500 pcs.

From a functional perspective, there are the following four types:
1. Loose-Leaf Planner: The inner pages can be replaced, and the cover can be used for several years. Common types include metal clips, plastic clips, and pull-out binders.
2. Hardcover Planner: The cover is attached to the inner pages and cannot be replaced. The cover is relatively sturdy, making it a popular choice abroad.
3. Spiral-bound Planner: The spine is not glued, and the inner pages can be torn out individually but cannot be added. Single-coil bindings are rare in domestic markets, while double-coil bindings are more common.
4. Paperback Planner: The cover is like a book jacket, and the entire inner section can be replaced anytime. Common types include high-frequency welding and sewn methods. Due to the cover design, the overall size tends to be more compact.
Custom planners come in many styles, and each type has its advantages. Below is a general explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of each type:

Besides size, we recommend dividing custom planners with public inner pages by function. Standard formats are as follows：
1. Monthly Plan： The main page is a monthly planner with lined memo pages for extensive note-taking. Every month’s daily highlights won’t be missed.
2. Weekly planner on the left side: When opened, the main page has a week of seven days on the left and memo pages on the right. This facilitates recording daily details and ensures work progress.
3. Weekly planner with 3 days on the left and 4 on the right: When opened, the left page has three days, and the right page has four days.
Additionally, there is a one-day-per-page format, where a page can record an entire day’s content. This format suits those who love to write and works well as a diary. This format is limited to size A5(25K).
Various public inner page formats can be referred to as B5(16K) Inner Pages, A5(25K) Inner Pages, B6(32K) Inner Pages, and 48K Inner Pages.
In book manufacturing, one must be familiar with pre-press layout, blueprint plate-making, printing ink & colors, large paper folding & binding, post-press processing, foil stamping & embossing suitability issues, paper & leather characteristics applications, book structure such as thickness calculation, covering multiple fields. The skills are profound, and styles are hard to list comprehensively.
