Avery printable tabs - Not satisfied
The adhesive does not hold. 4 of the 6 tabs fell off the next day so I had to reinforce with tape. The colors of the tabs are too dark. Not buying again.

Do not stick well
Most of the time in the past couple of years ordering these tabs, they have not stuck to each other when folded over and I have to tape the tabs together.
They print fine using the online Avery pdf template that was customizable.

Colored label part doesn't stick very well
Great concept & is exactly what I needed but the colored label parts that you print on then fold over to stick to each other doesn't stay stuck together so the label keeps popping open. I love everything else about it though. The clear/white part that you stick to the page has a decent stick. It's removable when you need it to be but it doesn't fall off.

Love/Hate
I love the format and it was fairly easy to set up; however, the adhesive does NOT stay so the tabs keep popping open. It's very frustrating as I worked on a project all day and woke up this morning with 1/3 of the tabs open. Sadly I bought 3 packages. Going to try to glue it or something because I don't have time to redo my project.

Great Idea... But not this product
When you put the tabs on your paper it folds over and sticks to itself. This doesn't last long. I have had to put tape on all mine to hold them down.

Disappointing
The tabs stick well to page. Unfortunately the part you write on and then fold in half does not stay stuck together. It pops apart constantly and gets stuck on other pages.

Pain to print correctly
I wasted an entire sheet and a half because it didn’t print right. Used the Word document and made the labels and still was a really big pain. Very annoyed but when the were on the right way looked good.

Very durable and professional looking
Needed a better way of making budget binders look professional but also durable since they are turning the pages constantly. So far these are holding up well and they look very professional. Tried ordering a different style that was not Avery brand and send those back because they labels were so bad and the template wouldn't print correctly and they were very flimsy. ...

Not great
First off the darker colors especially the purple and burgundy make it hard to read the text. Secondly I don't recommend these if you're using an inkjet printer. The words just rub right off with any handling of the tabs. I would not order these again.

Poor selection
Very disappointed in these “repositions tabs”. The adhesive does not hold and they simply fall off. In addition, the tabs are so dark that it’s hard to read.

Great product but....
Love the idea and the ease of the tabs. However printing them out properly is tough. They either printed on the wrong end of the label or were not centered. I tried different templates on Avery's site tried using Explorer instead of Chrome tried using Word and nothing worked. I adjusted the printer settings too. Did everything I could and nothing really worked. I wa...

Avery Labels
I use this all the time. I use them in the capacity of putting the month per sheet. If works great just drop it into your printer off you go.

Books tabs
These tabs are great! They are easy to remove to adjust placement yet they are definitely firmly attached to the page for use. I just used 15 packages on accreditation materials. Those materials were used to the point that the pages were showing wear and tear but the tabs were still exactly where I placed them and looked just as good as the day I put them on.
