Lets Talk Disc Planners

What are disc planners and how are they used?

Disc planners are a customisable planning system bound with discs instead of our coils. This unique binding allows you to easily add, remove, or rearrange pages to suit your needs.

Why you'll love it:

  • Offers the same high-quality inserts as our coiled planners
  • Build your planner your way β€” insert one term at a time, six months at a time, or the whole year
  • Add extra note pages, registers, or dividers wherever you like
  • Swap out covers each term for a fresh new look
  • Keep your planner lightweight or bulk it up β€” the choice is yours

The most important thing when building your disc planner is selecting the correct disc size to suit your layout.

What are the essential items I need to create a disc planner?

To build your disc planner, you’ll need a few key components to get started:

Essentials:

  • Discs – These hold your planner together. Make sure you choose the correct size for your needs (refer to our size guide).
  • Plastic Protective Covers – These sit on the outside to protect your planner from wear and tear.
  • Card Covers – Add personality and structure to your planner. You can change them out each term for a fresh new look.
  • Core Inserts – Choose your layout: Weekly, Daily, Vertical Weekly, or our All-in-One format.

Once you’ve got the basics sorted, you can customise your planner with optional extras depending on your planning style, a few of those listed below:

  • Lined Notes
  • Meeting Notes
  • Birthday register
  • Pockets
  • Dividers
  • Clip In Bookmarks

The disc system is all about flexibility β€” build it your way, change it as you go.

What size discs should I use?

The right disc size ensures your planner turns smoothly and stays comfortable to use. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:

28mm Discs

  • Suits Weekly and Vertical Weekly inserts with covers
  • Ideal for inserting one term, semester, or part of the year at a time
  • Slimmer, lightweight setup
  • Does not fit additional inserts like notes, pockets, or registers

32mm Discs

  • Fits Weekly and Vertical Weekly inserts with covers
  • Great for Weekly and Vertical Weekly if adding one extra set, such as notes or a register

38mm Discs

  • Fits larger setups like All-in-One or Daily inserts
  • We don’t recommend inserting all Daily inserts at once β€” pages turn easier when using part of the inserts at a time

No matter your layout, picking the right disc size keeps your planner practical, organised, and easy to use. Refer to our disc sizing chart.
