Reorder Tab Dividers From a Photo — Whoever Made Them
The set your office runs on is running out, and the original vendor wants an old invoice, a part number, or a phone call. Skip all of it: Tabzoola rebuilds custom tab sets from a photo — no matter who manufactured the originals.
Lay the set flat, labels in focus, and upload the photo. Every tab title is read off the picture exactly as printed, each tab is matched to the nearest color we stock, and the whole set lands in the designer with live pricing — editable, priced, and proofed before anything prints.
What the photo gets you — and what you choose
The reader takes care of the part that causes reorder mistakes: the wording. Every title comes off the photo character for character — MEDICATIONS stays MEDICATIONS, “H&P” stays “H&P” — so nobody retypes a list and nobody introduces a typo into forty binders. Colors are matched tab by tab to the nearest of 19 Mylar colors or 11 poly colors.
Two honest notes. When the original set came from another manufacturer, color matches are close rather than identical — paper stocks and Mylar tints vary between plants — and the free PDF proof shows you the exact match before you pay a dollar. And the tab cut is your call, not the photo’s: count how many tabs step across the page edge (five across = 1/5 cut, ten = 1/10), pick it in the designer, and the set arranges itself into banks.
Ordered from Tabzoola before? Even easier
Every design is saved. Sign in to your account and any past order rebuilds itself into the cart in one click — same titles, same colors, same cut, at today’s prices. No photo needed.
Why offices switch at reorder time
Reordering is the moment the original purchase stops protecting the original vendor: the set is proven, the section names are settled, and all that matters is getting the same thing again — quickly, at a fair price, without a quote form. Here that means live pricing as the set builds, a 25-set minimum instead of case quantities, about 5 business days of production from proof approval, and a design that’s saved for every reorder after this one.

Frequently asked questions
Can I reorder tab dividers without knowing who made them?
Yes. Tabzoola rebuilds tab sets from a photo, whoever originally made them: photograph the set, and every tab title is read off the picture exactly as printed — same wording, same capitals, same abbreviations. No invoice, no part number, and no account with the original vendor needed.
Will the colors match my existing tabs exactly?
Each tab in your photo is matched to the nearest of the 19 Mylar colors (paper) or 11 poly colors we stock. When your current set came from another manufacturer the match is close rather than identical — stocks and tints vary between plants — and your free PDF proof shows every color before you pay, so nothing is left to guesswork.
How do I know what cut my tabs are?
Count the tab positions that step across the page edge before the pattern repeats: five tabs across is a 1/5 cut, eight is a 1/8, ten is a 1/10. That ten-second count is all you need — pick it in the designer and the set arranges itself into banks. The tab cut calculator below does the arithmetic for longer sets.
What if the set is out of print or the original vendor discontinued it?
That's the situation this page exists for. Custom sets are manufactured to order, so nothing is ever discontinued here — the photo becomes a live design you can reorder any time, and the design is saved so next year's reorder matches this one exactly.
I only need a few replacement tabs, not whole sets — can you do that?
Yes — individual tabs are a standard order: one title, printed in quantity, cut to any position so the replacement drops into the exact slot of the tab it replaces. If you're topping up a set rather than replacing it, start from the individual and replacement tabs page below.
How fast does a reorder arrive?
Paper sets ship in about 5 business days after you approve the free proof, then UPS Ground from Schaumburg, Illinois — one day to most of the Midwest, one to three days to most of the country. Enter your ZIP on the delivery-date checker for the exact day.
