Mini 5 Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome back for part 5 of this series. If you haven’t read part 1<\/a>, I’m sharing alternatives to the Plotter system. If you want the full explanation, I suggest you read that post. You can also review the A5<\/a>, Bible and Narrow<\/a>, and Mini<\/a> alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post was harder than expected. I thought it would be easy to find other Mini 5 sized binders. However, the majority of binders around Mini 5 size are 3-ring, not 5 ring. I was, though, able to find some alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found that, despite Mini 5 binders and paper not being close to A8 size, , binders labeled A8 are the correct size. So, it’s likely that if you find a 5-ring A8 binder, it will be the right size. I’m including the paper size comparison again, even though we’ve learned by now that “international standard” sizes mean next to nothing in the binder world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, let’s get into the Mini 5 alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Recap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on what, specifically, interests you about the Plotter system, some of the options listed below may be of more interest to you than others. To help you figure out which, if any, to look into, I’ve included some specific information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
