The pages are either looseleaf bound (in which case the metal binding mechanism is permanently attached to the cover), or they are spiral bound, (in which case the paperboard back cover is slipped into a slot in the vinyl or textile outer cover). The essential character of the planners or organizers is imparted by the paper pages, which are designed to receive notations of daily activities during a school year or other academic period.
