Unleash Your Creativity: The Best Signatures for Your 2026 Planner Binding!

The 2026 Planner Signatures

Are you tired of the same old boring planner signatures? Looking for a way to add your own creative flair to your 2026 planner? Well, look no further! My 2026 planner bookbinding signatures are here to take your planner to the next level.

After feedback and requests from customers of last year's planner, this year I decided to design two different planners: a Monthly and a Weekly. The planner design is the same as last year, per customer request. The photos included here are just inspiration of how you can personalize the bindings and signatures to make them your own.

Monthly Format

For the monthly planner lovers out there, I have included a larger, monthly calendar spread. After each month's spread is a double page of lined paper. This is place for you to add your own insights for the month: wins and challenges, gratitude list, budgeting; the options are endless. This format still includes a intro with a 2026 overview, goals planning and important dates spread. The planner ends with a 2027 overview and goal planning page.

My sample Monthly planner features a hardback cover with a green, Batik honeycomb paper from Paper Source (It's no longer available on their website, but they have lots of other great options). The spine binding is a hidden pamphlet stitch. And the signatures are printed on a 65lb. Kraft card stock paper from Michaels. (This paper is not short grained, I scored and pressed these pages and it worked well considering each signature is only 2 sheets of paper.)

Weekly Format

For the weekly planner, the format remains the same as last year. Due to an increase in finish size, all the sections are now slightly larger. The format opens each month with a calendar spread. Then, each week follows with a Monday-Sunday format. New this year, at the end of each month is a Notes spread of lined paper. This allows you to add your own insights from the month. The front and back matter are the same as the Monthly format.

My sample Weekly planner features a hardback cover with gold, handmade, hand marbled paper. (This paper is no longer available from the vendor I purchased it from.) The spine binding is a french link, with velvet tapes. And the signatures are printed on a ivory, linen 70lb. text weight paper from Mohawk. (Link is for similar stock; exact paper is not longer sold.)
