Organise your Pokémon binder like a pro: layouts, cut guides and tips

Design your placeholders

Open the designer and start a sheet

Design these placeholders

Keeping your binder Organised makes collecting faster, safer and far more enjoyable. In this guide we cover practical layouts and how to use placeholders so missing cards never leave gaps.

Choose a consistent layout

Pick a binder template (9‑pocket, 4‑pocket, or 2‑pocket) and stick to it for a whole set. This keeps numbering intuitive and reduces page shuffling.

{{ ... }}

Use our generator to add subtle crop marks and margins for clean cuts. Save‑ink mode helps when you are printing dozens of pages.

Sort by official numbering

Sorting by the set’s official number makes it simple to spot what is missing. Add a short note per slot (e.g. reverse holo) to track variants.

Protect pages

Use quality sleeves and avoid overstuffing. Store binders upright to reduce pressure and warping.
