About Custom Paper Tabs
Custom paper index tab dividers are the most popular way to organize three-ring binders, manuals, and reference materials. You choose the text on every tab, the tab cut, the stock, and the finishing — then we print and manufacture your set to order in the USA.
Tabs are printed on durable 90# or 110# index stock and can be reinforced with a clear or colored Mylar strip along the binding edge for extra tear resistance. Add 3-hole punching, single- or double-sided printing, and collation so your sets arrive ready to drop straight into a binder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have different colors on each paper tab?+
Yes. You can assign a different color to each tab in the set at no extra charge on paper tabs — choose from 19 standard colors in the online designer.
What's the difference between 90# and 110# index stock?+
90# index is our standard everyday weight and suits most binders. 110# index is heavier and more rigid, a good choice for tabs that get handled frequently or need to stand up to heavy use.
What is the minimum order for custom index tabs?+
Our minimum order is 25 sets. You can order any quantity from 25 sets up to 1,000+ sets, and the per-tab price drops as your quantity increases.
How long does production take?+
Typical production is about 5 business days, measured from the moment you approve your proof. Rush production is available on many orders for an additional charge — contact us before ordering to inquire.
Do I get to see a proof before my tabs are printed?+
Yes. After you order, we email you a PDF proof showing exactly how your tabs will print. Nothing goes into production until you review and approve that proof, so you can check every tab's spelling, color, and order first.
Do you offer free shipping?+
Orders of $75.00 or more ship free via UPS Ground to the lower 48 US states. Orders under $75.00 ship UPS Ground for $19.95, and expedited UPS 2-Day shipping is available at checkout.
Where are Tabzoola tabs made?+
Every order is manufactured to order in the USA at our facility in Schaumburg, Illinois.
What is a tab cut?+
A tab cut is how many tab positions span the width of the page. A 1/5 cut, for example, places five tabs across the binding edge so they don't overlap. We offer cuts from 1/2 all the way to 1/15.
