Index tabs are an appealing way to neatly label documents and folders, and make the information easily accessible. There is a broad range of sizes and colors, and several formatting options, making them a complementary addition to home and office desk supplies. They are also easy to store in drawers or closets or to include in travel bags for business meetings. Stock up on a selection of index tabs, binder pockets, and other office supplies.
Advantages of Index Tabs
Quickly referencing charts, data, and other vital details within reports and business plans is occasionally an afterthought. Once the presentation is over, you may think that all you have to do is instruct others to locate a certain numbered page, or look for a particular phrase. By applying an index tab to every specific section, you simplify reading and reviewing the contents. This shortens the time needed to locate information and makes it convenient to return to pages at a later date.
Choosing Index Tabs
Since the purpose of dividers is to clarify where details are, choose ones that amply highlight the report or handbook's sections. Self-adhesive ones either stick permanently or users reposition them on pages, and stock card tabs fit into plastic holders. Features to consider include one or two-sided writability or printability, straight or angled, and colored, white, or dual-toned. Another choice is picking tabs that are part of dividers or clear plastic sheets that stick out from the documents. Staples® carries several index tabs and sheet protectors from the brand Avery®, and they are available in common sizes that include: 1 x 1-1/2 inch, 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 inch, and 3 x 3-1/2 inch.
Other Important Details of Index Tabs
Shape and space are also important when selecting these dividers. If compiling notes in a ring binder, look for dividers that have hole reinforcements. When creating long labels, tabs designed for binder spines or for tables of contents may be ideal. Ones suited for legal and larger documents, as well as those purposefully created for alphabetical indexes for the medical, financial, construction, and accounting fields may further suit your needs. Consider tab travel dispensers if you frequently attend conferences and need to have materials ready for perusal.
Are Index Tabs Recyclable?
Although there are labels produced from 100 percent, post-consumer recycled content, not every type is recyclable. Sticker dividers need to go in the trash. For tabs inserted into plastic, only the paper label is recyclable. Guidelines may vary according tomunicipality , so check with the local government, if unsure.
Is it Possible to Print Some Index Tabs on a Sheet?
It depends on the computer application, however, many programs do support this option. Consult the software and templates to learn how to maximize what you need.
What Are Customizable Options for Index Tabs?
You can include graphics and logos on tabs, choose reinforced edging, and decide between font styles. Other choices include paper stock thickness, color, and coating. For further customization, specify collated or uncollated and punched or unpunched.
