I can only assume that some of these lesser known sizes are no longer sold because of the lack of sales. Although inserts are still available for them.
So here is a comprehensive list of all sizes:
Size H x W (mm) Rings A4 297 x 210 4 DeskFax 250 x 176 3 x 3 A5 210 x 148 2 x 3 Slimline 171 x 95 2 x 3 Personal 171 x 95 2 x 3 Compact 171 x 95 2 x 3 120 x 81 2 x 3 Pocket Slimline 120 x 81 2 x 3 Mini 105 x 67 5 M2 64 x 103 3
They are all 'portrait' format with the exception of the M2 which is 'landscape' format.
To see inserts for all of the formats, the best site I found was City Organiser here in London.

I've looked at that site before but never noticed that for a very business-like site it has very poetic language to describe the different leathers. And it's spot on too. Not even the filofax site does it better!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the Personal Slimline and Compact differ in the width of the rings: 11mm and 15mm, respectively. (They still have one Compact binder in the german Filofax site ;) )
ReplyDeleteToo bad the M2 was discontinued, it looks like a fun format, as small as the Mini, but more comfortable to write in!
Thanks for that Oni, obviously all the different websites use the same basic structure. But why the compact is only available in Germany and not UK is a mystery!
ReplyDeleteAgain thanks for solving that one!

For your information: the only Compact (with 15 mm rings) sold in Germany is a black Guildford.
ReplyDeleteIt costs 85 Euro; both the Slimline and the Personal Size are 95 Euro.
I have a favorite paper size that I wish I could use for everything -- 203.2 mm × 266.7 mm, or 8 x 10.5 inches. It used to be the government standard size paper in the U.S., before the 8.5 x 11 Letter size was adopted.
ReplyDeleteChildren's and household notebooks in the U.S. and Canada are still 8 x 10.5. But because of the similarity of U.S. Letter size to A4 size, it looks like those will be the standard for the foreseeable future. There will never be an 8 x 10.5 fILOFAX.
Some extra, historic sizes (again courtesy of the City Organiser, but from about 20 years ago!) are variations on the Personal:
ReplyDeleteDouble 171 x 180 mm
Treble 171 x 265 mm
Quadruple 171 x 350 mm
These were all punched for 2 x 3 rings, and fitted the Personal binders because they were folded.
Also, there was the "original deskfax", as discussed here. I think these old variety Deskfax pages matched the "Double" above, but perhaps someone can confirm?
Can i have the size of the personal format in cm in case i would like to print from my pc
ReplyDeleteThe sizes shown are in mm divide by 10....
ReplyDeleteSteve
Can someone tell me the actual size of the filofaxes themselves? Not the papersize but the size of the Filofax organiser itself????
ReplyDeleteI need an organiser that will take 170 x 115 paper (A6)

ReplyDeleteThe actual physical size won't help really because of the size of the rings in the binder reducing the space available for paper. Paper that is 105mm wide will fit in a Personal 115mm might be going too wide.
What are these pages?
