The Artfan 2025-2026 Academic Planner is designed as a high-frequency tool for tactile users. Specifications indicate a paper density of approximately 100 grams per square meter (gsm). This thickness is engineered to manage ink absorption, which helps minimize bleeding when using common water-based gel pens and highlighters. The exterior features a rigid 2.0mm paperboard core wrapped in a matte-finish coating, which helps prevent the edges from fraying and protects the surface from natural oils during daily handling.
Build Quality & Usability
The twin-wire binding is built to handle the mechanical stress of rotating pages 360 degrees, allowing the planner to lay perfectly flat on a desk. Tests show that the laminated tabs are resistant to the friction caused by sliding the book into a bag, maintaining their shape over the academic year. While the cover provides a sturdy writing surface, the extreme edges may show the white internal core if the unit is dropped on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt.
The back pocket is secured with a reinforced adhesive line. For best results and to maintain the seam integrity, it is recommended to limit storage to a few essential sheets of paper rather than bulky items.
- The 100gsm paper stock effectively resists "ghosting" from most standard pens.
- Twin-wire binding allows for 360-degree rotation without putting torque on the spine.
- Laminated monthly tabs are designed to survive a full 12-month cycle of frequent flipping.
For those who prefer a more flexible exterior that easily bends to fit into cramped bags, you might consider the Wowyoga flexible cover model.
This unit is a helpful addition to your workspace and can be used alongside other 18-month academic planners to keep your family schedule synchronized.
