Put the tab cut calculator on your site

Tabzoola publishes its tab cut calculator as a free embeddable widget. Paste one line of HTML and your readers get the answer to the question every first-time tab buyer has — how many tab positions fit, what each tab measures, and what a printed set actually costs — without leaving your page.

It is built by the shop that die-cuts the tabs: Anselmo Die & Index, Inc., Schaumburg, Illinois, cutting index tabs since 1993. The geometry comes from our own dies, not from a measurement of someone else’s product.

Questions

What does the widget do?

A visitor types how many sections their binder needs. The widget answers with the index tab cut that fits, how the tabs lay out across banks, the height of each tab, and what 25 printed sets of that configuration cost — the same answers the calculator on tabzoola.com gives, because it runs the same arithmetic and the same pricing engine.

Is it really free?

Yes. No signup, no account, no key, no fee. Keep the small attribution line under the calculator and we are square. If your site policy forbids outbound links, use it anyway — we would rather the tool be useful than argue about a link.

Does it track my visitors?

No. The script sets no cookies, sends no analytics, and makes no network calls after it loads. It renders a calculator and links to our designer if someone clicks. The only thing we ever see is the click-through, tagged so we know an embed sent it.

Will it slow my page down?

No meaningfully — it is a few kilobytes of plain JavaScript with no dependencies, loaded async, and it renders no images. It styles itself in a scoped class so it cannot leak CSS into your page.

What if my CMS strips script tags?

Use the iframe version below. It works the same way for the visitor; the only difference is that the attribution link then lives inside the frame instead of on your page.

Can I change how it looks?

The widget uses its own .tzw class names, so your own CSS can override anything — width, colors, fonts, the button. Set data-tabs on the container to change the number it opens with.

Something else you would embed — a price table, the geometry chart, a deadline calculator? Tell us and we will build it.
