Frequently asked questions
What size are Big Happy Planner pages?
8.5 × 11 in, US Letter, with eleven slots 1 inch apart centred on the long edge (0.5 in from top and bottom). Arc Letter and Circa Letter discs share the pitch.
Do I need to trim anything?
No. The page is exactly Letter, so print at 100% and punch. If your printer cannot print to the edge, the margins already keep content clear of it.
Where do the slots go?
Eleven circles with short stems are printed along the left edge of right-hand pages and the right edge of left-hand pages. Line the first and last up with your disc punch; the marks disappear into the slots.
