Legal Size Tab Dividers, Printed to Order
Legal size tab dividers are 8.5 by 14 inch divider sheets that match legal paper, with a printed tab on the side or the bottom. Tabzoola prints them to order with your own section titles or a numbered range: a 10-tab set is $12.47 a set at 25 sets and $4.11 at 250, with a free PDF proof before anything prints.
Every set is die-cut with clear or colored Mylar on each tab, collated in order, and punched or left flat for filing. They are made at the Anselmo Die & Index, Inc. plant in Schaumburg, Illinois, which has die-cut index tabs since 1993.

Legal-size paper sets price instantly, the same as letter.
Choose Legal in the designer and the price is on screen as you build. Legal adds a Sheet Size line worth 30% of the printing — the longer sheet — which works out to roughly a quarter more than the same set in letter once the flat setup fee is counted: a 5-tab set of 25 runs $168.13 against $136.25, and 25 tabs at 250 sets $2,386.25 against $1,842.50. Side tabs finish 9″ × 14″; bottom tabs finish 8.5″ × 14.5″. Legal in poly is the exception: the plant does not stock a 14-inch poly sheet, so those are quoted — send the list and you get a real number back, usually the same business day.
What a legal-size set is
Legal paper is 8.5 by 14 inches — the same width as letter, three inches longer. A divider has to match the paper it protects, so a legal-size divider is built on that 8.5 by 14 body, with the printed tab standing half an inch past the binding edge.
The extra length is useful rather than incidental. Tabs step down a 14-inch edge instead of an 11-inch one, so at any given cut each tab is longer than its letter equivalent: room for a real section name where a letter set of the same cut would force an abbreviation. The full size comparison is here.
What we make on legal stock
- • Numbered exhibit ranges — 1–25, 1–50, 1–100, or starting at any number your matter requires.
- • Lettered ranges — A–Z, AA–ZZ, or a custom letter sequence.
- • Titled section sets — your own wording on every tab, printed at the plant rather than hand-labeled.
- • Mylar on every tab, one of 19 colors, clear included, bonded to both sides of the tab, with a different color per tab at no extra charge.
- • Punched or unpunched — 3-hole at 4.250″ centres down the 14″ binding edge for legal ring binders, or left flat and collated one set per filing where a bound submission is not wanted. A bottom-tab set binds across its 8.5″ top edge instead, where the standard 3-hole pattern will not fit — that one takes a 2-hole pattern at 2.750″ centres.
- • Side tabs or bottom tabs — 9″ × 14″ finished with the tabs down the long edge, or 8.5″ × 14.5″ with them hanging off the bottom.
- • Paper priced online, poly on quote — 90# or 110# index stock prices as you build; .015 wipe-clean poly is quoted on legal, since the plant does not stock a 14-inch poly sheet.
Who orders legal size
Legal size persists where the documents themselves are legal size: real estate closings and title files, deeds and leases, some county court and recorder filings, oil and gas and land records, and older filing systems built around legal cabinets and folders.
It is worth checking the local rule before printing a filing set. Most courts have standardized on letter — federal appellate rules specify 8.5 by 11 inch paper for briefs — but individual county courts, recorders and title companies still specify legal, and theirs is the rule that governs. When the filing is letter, letter-size exhibit tabs are the same set three inches shorter. Both price instantly with a free PDF proof.
How ordering works
- In the designer, choose where the tabs go and pick Legal as the sheet size.
- Type the section list — or the range — set the quantity, and choose punched or unpunched. The price updates as you build.
- Approve the free PDF proof; nothing prints before you have seen it.
- Paper sets produce in about 5 business days from proof approval, shipped UPS Ground from Schaumburg.
- For legal in poly, send the same details to sales@tabzoola.com and a quote comes back, usually the same business day.
Questions
The body sheet is 8.5 by 14 inches — the same size as the legal documents it separates — and the printed tab stands half an inch past the 8.5-inch binding edge, exactly as it does on a letter-size set. Letter dividers are 8.5 by 11 with the same half-inch extension.
Yes, in paper. The designer asks two questions — where the tabs go, and what size sheet — and choosing Legal prices the set instantly, the same way letter does. Legal adds a Sheet Size line worth 30 percent of the printing, which is what the longer sheet costs; because the setup fee is the same either way, the order total runs about 23 to 30 percent above letter depending on quantity. Legal in poly is the one exception: the plant does not run a 14-inch poly sheet as standing stock, so those are quoted — send the section list and quantity and the number usually comes back the same business day.
It depends where the tabs sit. Side tabs step down the 14-inch edge instead of an 11-inch one, so the working length grows from 10 inches to 13 and every tab is longer at the same cut — room for a real section name where letter would force an abbreviation. Bottom tabs run across the 8.5-inch edge, which legal does not change, so a legal bottom-tab set has exactly the same tab sizes as letter on a page three inches longer.
Yes — numbered ranges, lettered ranges, start-at-any-number sequences and custom wording all print on legal stock the same way they do on letter. Filing sets can be left unpunched and collated one set per filing; office copies can be 3-hole punched for legal-size ring binders.
Match the documents. Both sizes are 8.5 inches wide, so a letter divider will sit on the rings of a legal binder — but every legal page will overhang it by three inches, which defeats the point of the divider. If the filing is legal, the dividers should be legal.
The same as letter: roughly 5 business days for paper sets from proof approval, and a free PDF proof comes before anything prints. Quoted poly sets run longer, about 15 business days, and the clock starts once the quote is approved.
