VDS Additional Options Explained

In this post we will explain all the additional options that you can find on our webshop to add to your Custom Made VDS Planner. If you have questions about them, or if you want a different additional option that is not mentioned on our webshop you can always email us about it via hello@vdsshop.com

Big Back Pocket:
A full length open wallet-type pocket lengthwise across the back of the planner. People use it to store papers, cash, receipts, to keep notes, and so on. This large area adds multi-functionality to the use of your planner.

 

Flyleaf:
The flyleaf is inserted into the rings of the planner. As well as adding an element of luxury to the planner, the flyleaf provides a smoother writing surface to write against.
The color of the flyleaf will be the same color as your planner: outside color on the front side and inside color on the back side.

 

Secretarial Flap:
A secretarial flap is a slip pocket that is open at the top and side and can be added on both the left and right inside lay-out of the planner. Since it is not stitched at the top it gives you easy access to insert and reach for any items placed there.

Please note that our basic lay-out comes with closed slip pockets on both the left and right hand inside areas, so if you add a secretarial flap to it, the slip pocket that is closest to the rings will be turned into a secretarial flap.

 

Zipper Compartment:
The zipper compartment is a wallet style compartment inserted into the rings of the planner.
The zipper compartment will be the same color as the inside color of your planner.

 

Extra Pen Loop:
All our Custom Made Planners come with a pen loop on the right-hand inside of the planner.
You can choose to add an extra pen loop on the left-hand inside of the planner.
The maximum pen thickness that fits the pen loop is 10mm in diameter ⌀.
Our pen loops are always elasticated, which means that they are partly made of leather and partly elastic, so you can fit pens of different sizes in it.
The pen loop will be the same color as the inside color of the planner.
PS. Our Custom Made Manager A5 planner already comes with 2 pen loops (one on the inside left and one on the inside right).

 

 

Ring Protectors: 
Ring Protectors are two strips of leather sewn into either side of the ring mechanism that cushion the rings and also prevent the interior of the leather from being dented by the rings over time.

 

Embossing:
Add a personal touch to your planner by including a word or phrase of your choice.
All letters are picked up individually with tweezers and placed on the leather to be embossed.
You can choose between silver, gold, and blind (this means that the letters will be pressed into the planner).

The positions of the embossing that you can choose from are:
On the bottom right of the Front outside area.
On the bottom left of the Left inside area.

 

Longer Clasp:
This option is for the planner stuffers (you know who you are ;). Our normal clasps will hold a full planner, but for those who tend to stuff it a lot this might be a good option. You can choose to make the clasp 1-25mm (1 inch = +/- 25mm) longer.

 

Squared Corners:
The 4 corners of your custom made item will be squared instead of rounded.

 

Outside facing slip pocket:
An Outside facing slip pocket has its opening towards the outer side of the planner.
(A slip pocket is a ‘slide-in’ pocket that is closed at the top and bottom).

 

The following options are only available for certain planner sizes:

Custom Made Senior size planners have the option to Widen to A6 Size:
The Senior planner will be widened to fit A6 paper.
The normal width of our closed Senior Custom Made is 140mm (+/- 5,51 inches) which is an un-widened A6, for use with ‘Success’ type inserts.
Adding the A6 widening will add 15mm (+/- 0,59 inches) on a closed planner, so it will fit A6 inserts including side tabs.
You also have the option to add 2 extra slip pockets to accommodate the extra width in your planner.

Custom Made Standard planners have the option to Widen to Custom Size:
Make your planner 1-26mm wider (PS. this is calculated on a closed planner, so 1mm wider means 1mm on each side = 2mm in total on an open planner.)
You also have the option to add 2 extra slip pockets to accommodate the extra width in your planner.

Custom Made B6 planners have the option to add 2 extra slip pockets:
To accommodate the extra width in your planner.

Custom Made Manager A5 planners have the option to Widen to Custom Size:
Make your planner 1-26mm wider (PS. this is calculated on a closed planner, so 1mm wider means 1mm on each side = 2mm in total on an open planner.)
