Keep the pen with the book, every time it is opened.

A planner is only useful when there is a pen nearby. A pen loop solves that by giving the pen a permanent place on the book itself, so your customer can open to today and start writing.
It is a small detail with a big payoff. A pen loop makes a planner or journal feel finished and thoughtfully designed.
Our elastic pen loops are stocked in black, white, and gold. Other colors can be special ordered, so ask us when you request your quote.
Which Covers Can Have a Pen Loop?
The pen loop is attached to the back board of the cover, so it needs the rigid board of a hardcover to hold it securely. Pen loops are available on:
Pen loops are for hardcovers only. They are not available on softcovers or board covers, including 48 pt board covers.

Pair Your Pen Loop with Other Add-ons
A pen loop works well alongside the other features that make a hardcover planner feel complete:
- Elastic strap to keep the book closed in a bag
- Ribbon marker to hold today's page
- Pockets for loose notes and receipts
- Foil stamping on the cover
Minimum Order
Pen loops have a minimum order of 25, the same as our hardcovers. The pen loop is attached while the hardcover is being made, so it needs to be part of your order from the start. It cannot be added to covers that are already finished.
Pens
Pens are not included. If you would like a pen with each book, send us your pens and we will include them with your orders. See our fee schedule for details on customer-supplied items.
