Tabbed Sheet Protectors
I ordered these because of the capability of having a tabbed sheet protector. However when inserting a paper into it the entire side where the tab is starting splitting apart. I ended up having to put tape on either side of the tabs so that it would stay together enough to hold the tab. I have always had good luck with the Avery Brand but would not order these again.

Nice Page Protectors w/ Tabs
I ordered these for my office and we really like that these page protectors have tabs. They seem to hold up well so far.

Need replacement tabs
My tabs didn’t print well. I need to know what size replacement tabs go in these. Would be nice to have a cross reference to which Avery products will work with these.

Extra Tabs
I use this all the time for office filling but I end up tossing HALF of the tabs into the recycling bin. There are quite clearly 16 individual tabs to print on, 1 tab = 2 lines (front and back). Each product comes with a sheet of 16 tabs but only 8 protectors. Can you please add protectors to the package so that we can more efficiently utilize your product?

Good alternative since standard dividers are not designed to be larger than protected sheets.
If you are using standard sheet protectors in a binder then normal dividers are too small. These work great.

Very Handy
I found it to be a handy and easy to use product. I see many were having issues separating the tabs but I gently pressed them at the top to create a slight opening and the tabs slid right in. The only issue I had was using the label template for printing in a Word doc. It took me a bit of tweaking to align the text properly to the template, but ultimately it's doable...

Great Look.
Looks very nice but separating the tabs are a nightmare to say the least. I was hoping it was just the first, or even second time I bought them but it wasn't.

Hard to separate tabs
I like these but as the other reviewer mentioned, it was really tough to separate the plastic tab so I could slide in the paper label.

Avery Protect 'n Tab:tm: Tabbed Sheet Protectors Clear 8 1/2 x 11 8 Tab Set.
The sheet protectors themselves are great. I was very disappointed when I printed the tabs using the Avery Template #74161 for these tabs as they did not align well at all. I ended up have to cut the tabs in order to use them.

Shhet Protectors
Just what we needed to protect certificates earned from webinars for Maintenance staff. Instead of posting on walls they remain pristine in the protector in the file folder of the employee.

Protect n tab
I like the material these sheet protectors are made of but it is a little difficult getting the label in the tab. It would be better if they cut the tab itself with a slant.

Tabs stick out past edge of notebook
It's a nice product but should note that the tabs will stick out beyond the edge of the binder with every notebook I've tried so far: 0.5" 1" and 1.5". I think that with very large notebooks the covers are probably wider and the tabs would not stick out but it would be nice to know before purchasing. I will keep these because other than looking for and buying some ...

Not as great as I was hoping
Loved the idea that the sheet protestors had tab holders. The tab holders were very hard to separate and took way too much of my time to get the paper inserts into the tabs.
