Frequently asked questions
What size are Classic Happy Planner pages?
7 × 9.25 in (177.8 × 235 mm) with nine mushroom-shaped slots 1 inch apart, centred on the long edge. Arc by Staples and Levenger Circa junior-size discs use the same 1 inch pitch, so their punches work too.
What paper do I print on?
A Classic page does not fit on Letter at full size (it is 9.25 in tall on 11 in paper, but 7 in wide with no room for marks). Print on Tabloid/Ledger (11 × 17 in) two per sheet for exact size, or on Letter one per sheet: the maker prints it at 100% without side marks, so trim the width by eye against a printed page.
Does the PDF cut the disc slots?
No. It marks each slot with a circle and a short stem toward the edge, exactly where the mushroom goes. Line your disc punch up with the first and last marks and punch; the marks vanish inside the slots.
Can I print on Letter and still use a disc punch?
Yes. Trim the Letter sheet to 7 in wide first, then punch. Nine slots at 1 inch leave 0.625 in at the top and bottom, the same as the official pages.
