Tabzoola is a US manufacturer and supplier of custom 8-tab dividers in the 1/8 cut, made to order in Schaumburg, Illinois by Anselmo Die & Index, Inc., the family-owned plant that has die-cut index tabs since 1993 and trades online as Tabzoola, shipping nationwide.
An 8-tab set uses the 1/8 cut — eight tab positions across the page edge. It's the sweet spot between readability and capacity: enough tabs to separate a binder into clear categories, with tab faces still wide enough to print full section names.
Tabzoola prints all eight titles to your specification and collates the set so it's ready to file. Each order is manufactured to order in our own Schaumburg, Illinois plant.
A practical layout for category binders
Eight tabs handle most departmental and reference binders comfortably — for example Sales, Marketing, Operations, Finance, HR, Legal, IT, and Admin. You get clear separation without crowding the page edge, which keeps each printed label easy to read.
- Eight custom-titled tabs per set
- Color-code by category (19 Mylar colors / 11 poly colors)
- Numbered, lettered, or fully custom labels
- Collated sets, 3-hole punched, optional Mylar reinforcing
Choose paper or poly
Mylar-reinforced paper gives you a durable, cost-effective set for office binders; .015 poly is the wipe-clean choice for files that get heavy daily use. Both print on one or two sides. Need a different count? We cut every size from 1/2 to 1/15.
Eight tabs, two ways to cut them
Eight tabs does not have to mean a 1/8 cut. On a portrait divider the tabs share a 10-inch working edge, so a 1/8 cut gives eight tabs of 1.25 inches each in one cascade — compact, one clean bank, the standard choice for chart and policy binders. But a 1/4 cut run in two banks gives the same eight tabs at 2.5 inches each — double the printable length, which matters when section names run long: “Quality Assurance Procedures” fits a 2.5-inch tab and abbreviates awkwardly on a 1.25-inch one.
The rule of thumb: short labels (Labs, Billing, Notes) read fine at 1/8 in one bank; sentence-style labels read better at 1/4 in two banks. Both are the same price at the same quantity — the cut is a design choice, not an upcharge. Tabs print up to two lines, so a long title can also wrap instead of shrinking.
What eight sections usually hold
Numbered 8-tab sets — tabs printed simply 1 through 8 — are the everyday variant for copy shops and quick reference binders, and they price identically to titled sets. Eight is the most-ordered section count for a reason: it maps to how organizations actually divide records. Medical and dental charts run History, Progress Notes, Labs, Imaging, Medications, Consents, Correspondence, Billing. Policy binders run Purpose, Definitions, Policies, Procedures, Forms, Training, Revisions, Appendix. Project binders run Contract, Schedule, Budget, Correspondence, Submittals, Change Orders, Inspections, Closeout.
Because every tab prints to your wording, the set carries your organization's names for those sections — not a stock manufacturer's guess. An 8-tab paper set runs $8.00 per set at the 25-set minimum and falls to $2.44 per set at 250, setup included, priced live in the designer. A 5-tab set is $5.45 per set at 25 and $1.57 at 250.

Frequently asked questions
What is an 8-tab divider set?
It's printed on the 1/8 cut — eight tab positions across the page edge, giving you eight labeled tabs per set. It balances capacity and readability well.
Can I color-code an 8-tab set by department?
Yes. Assign a different color to each of the eight tabs (19 Mylar colors, 11 poly colors) so every category is easy to find at a glance.
How fast do 8-tab dividers ship?
Paper sets ship in about 5 business days and poly sets in about 15 business days from proof approval. The minimum order is 25 sets.
Should 8 tabs be a 1/8 cut or a 1/4 cut in two banks?
Both give you eight tabs on the same sheet at the same price. The 1/8 cut fits all eight in one cascade at 1.25 inches per tab — tidy and compact for short labels. The 1/4 cut in two banks doubles each tab to 2.5 inches, which reads far better when section names are long. If your longest title abbreviates badly at 1.25 inches, take the 1/4 two-bank layout; tabs also print up to two lines.
How much does an 8-tab divider set cost?
Live pricing shows your exact number before you order: an 8-tab custom-printed paper set is $8.00 per set at the 25-set minimum and $2.44 per set at 250 sets, setup and your printed titles included. A 5-tab set is $5.45 per set at 25 and $1.57 at 250. Poly and Mylar color options price in real time in the designer, and every order includes a free PDF proof.
Can I mix tab colors within an 8-tab set?
Yes — colors can change tab by tab. Many 8-tab sets use two to four Mylar colors to group related sections (clinical vs administrative, or active vs archive). Color changes carry a one-time $35 charge per additional color for the whole order, not per tab, so a color-grouped scheme adds pennies per set at typical quantities.

Customer Reviews
Justin was so nice to work with ! He answered all my questions and now I feel like an expert :)
Megan, thank you for the kind words — I'll pass them straight to Justin. Getting every question answered before anything prints is exactly how we like to work, so "now I feel like an expert" is about the best review we could ask for. Whenever your next set of tabs comes up, your questions are always welcome. John Anselmo, Tabzoola
Glad I found you online. You're approximately 30 percent less than my old supplier and easier to work with. I'll be back.
Thank you, Ben — the price is no accident. We publish the whole table, setup included, so the number you see while you design is the number on the invoice. Glad the switch was easy, and we'll be ready when you are. — Tabzoola
I can't say enough about how great Justin was helping me with my order. After I approved the order he took time to call me to ask if i was sure about a decision to use next day delivery on the whole order when only a partial would keep me going while the rest of the order shipped ups ground. He saved me a ton of money. Thank you for caring about your customers. I wish more people were like you.
Thank you, Amy — I'll make sure Justin sees this. Splitting the shipment so only the part you needed went next-day was the right call, and it's the kind of thing we'd rather catch on the phone than have you find on the invoice. Anyone here would have made that call. Thank you for taking the time to write it down. — Tabzoola
My old supplier went out of business. You guys produced an exact copy of what we've been using. Thank you!!!
Thank you, Perri — losing a supplier you've used for years is a real headache, and matching a set you already rely on is the kind of job we like. If you ever need another one matched, a photo of an existing tab is enough for us to pick up the titles and the colors. Glad we could keep you running. — Tabzoola
Tabs came out better than expected. Will definitely be back.
Thank you, Joan — better than expected is a good place to land. The part people usually don't expect is the make: real die-cut tabs on index stock, with the Mylar bonded on both sides of the extension, which is where tabs tear first. We'll be ready whenever you need the next run. — Tabzoola
Very easy to use.
Thank you, Pat — short, and the best kind. Easy is the whole thing we were aiming for, so that is good to hear. Ready whenever you need more. — Tabzoola
You guys made ordering easy :)
Thanks, Louie — easy is the goal, and hearing it beats any feature list. Everything's printed and die-cut here in Schaumburg, so if anything ever isn't easy, you're one call from the people who made it. — Tabzoola
Very seldom do you see orders handled in such a professional manner. Thank you for a great job!
Thank you, Sherri — that’s a compliment we don’t take lightly. Every order here gets the same handling: a free proof before anything prints, and one shop seeing it through from die-cut to the box. Glad yours showed it. — Tabzoola
Very impressed how easy it was to order our index tabs. Will definitely be back for future orders!
Thank you, Anna — glad ordering was easy, that's the way it should be. And since you mentioned coming back: your design is saved, so the next run is a one-click reorder whenever you need it. — Tabzoola
Turned out perfect!
Thank you, Beth — "turned out perfect" is the best thing we can hear. Every set is die-cut and printed in our own shop in Schaumburg, so the people who made yours are the ones who checked it before it shipped. We'll be ready whenever you need the next one.
They looked great and saved hours of collating :)
Thank you, Chris — collating is exactly the labor we're trying to take off your desk. Your sets came off the line already in order, so nobody had to stack them by position. Glad it showed. We'll be ready for the next run. — Tabzoola
Thank's for the great service. Will be back for future orders.
Thanks, Greg — that's exactly what we like to hear. We'll be ready whenever the next set comes up. — Tabzoola
I'm truly impressed how easy it was to order.
Thanks, Tony — easy is exactly what we were going for, so that's good to hear. Your design is saved whenever you need more. — Tabzoola
Easy to order, they came out perfect!
Thank you, Nancy — "came out perfect" is exactly what we aim for. We've got your design saved whenever you need more. — Tabzoola
Thanks, Kim — that's what we were going for. The designer is meant to get you to a proof in a couple of minutes, not an afternoon. We're here whenever you need another set. — Tabzoola
Tabs turned out great, and the service was above and beyond.
Thank you, Jessica — service is the part we can't automate, so that means a lot. The tabs and the phone come from the same building in Schaumburg, which is the whole idea. Your design is saved whenever you need another run. — Tabzoola
Live pricing as you configure — no account needed. Free shipping over $75.
If it isn’t what you approved on the proof, we reprint it — or refund it. 30 days from delivery.
