The Shoparr Academic Planner uses a standard twin-wire binding made of 1.2mm gauge steel, which supports a 360-degree lay-flat position. This makes it a practical choice for ergonomic desk use. The hardcover is made from 2.0mm chipboard with a matte-finish laminate, providing a splash-resistant surface that helps protect your plans from minor spills.
Performance Expectations
While the paper is described as premium, it is technically optimized for ballpoint and gel pens between 0.5mm and 0.7mm. The 6.4" x 8.5" size is designed for portability, offering a better surface-to-weight ratio than larger A4 alternatives. Users should note that the monthly tabs are made of cardstock and may require careful handling to avoid fraying over long periods of time.
- Hardcover substrate provides a firm writing surface when away from a desk.
- Twin-wire binding prevents the page misalignment common in single-coil spirals.
- The green cover finish helps resist surface moisture and stains.
If you need a planner that will be subjected to more extreme wear, the Goldpei PVC-covered model offers even higher moisture resistance.
