I've been looking for a similar kraft board equivalent in Personal size. But I've not found them yet, unless you know of some?
Filofax make some that are a couple of posts in a plastic cover, not so easy to look through without removing the pages, but fairly compact.
The other option I'm investigating at the moment is to use 'Treasury Tags' and a simple folded card cover. This is a work in progress to get the dimensions correct. My first prototype didn't quite work! Back to the drawing board. I will share the sizes once I've mastered it.
These will be simple, cheap but functional.
I use May Paper Co. Clear Agenda Cover in personal size. https://www.maypaperco.com/products/clear-agenda-cover-black-hardware?variant=48382331257063 It's basically a plastic version with rings. You have May Paper Co. listed under Suppliers with the Location as USA but they are actually Australian (Adelaide, South Australia) based.
ReplyDeleteThe Australian Filofax store was sold out of the storage boxes when I looked. They also haven't updated to include 2026 inserts yet. I went with Poco Profile instead.
I find Clipbook is great for archiving. Available in A5 and Personal, I also keep one on my desk storing new leaves not yet needed, such as future diary inserts. As a bonus, Clipbook comes with a fill of blank pages and the cover can be converted into two useful dividers.
ReplyDeleteI use treasury tags without a cover and put them in an old shoebox. I also tie them with thin string/ wool scraps that I loosely tie so that I can untie it easily and add more as I go. I’m not fussy about how it looks as I don’t have the old stuff visible anywhere so I go very cheap and very quick.
ReplyDeleteI've found the Personal size equivalent of the A5 Kraft binders... listed as A6 of course! I've ordered some I will report back when they arrive.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I've also perfected my own card + treasury tags folder and I will publish the sizes etc very soon.
I have purchased the Filofax storage files. One for my Refillable notebook pages and another for my Personal size Filofax
ReplyDeleteI’ve also used a DIY card cover with brass split pins. (Best to have folds in the cover to keep the pointed pin ends internal, as they can scratch other surfaces.)
ReplyDeleteI put a thread through holes of my old inserts and store them in a box with other bundles from past years.
ReplyDeleteThread allows to flip pages easily, but getting a page out of the bundle is hard, though it's of no concern to me, as I never do that anyway.
This became a ritual of sorts for me, wrote about it here: https://www.blog.private-universe.net/2025/01/24/archiving-filofax-inserts-the-red-thread/
