Tabzoola's tabs are made at the Schaumburg plant of its sister company, Anselmo Die & Index, Inc., a family-owned index tab manufacturer since 1993, and ship nationwide. A continuity plan is the one corporate document with a built-in reason to exist on paper: it is written for the moment the systems are unavailable. A BC/DR plan that lives only in the network it is meant to recover is not a plan, it is a document about a plan. Tabzoola prints the divider sets for the printed copies, to your own section structure. Every site lead, every recovery team member and every off-site copy needs the same index, which makes one design worth a real run. ## The plan exists because the systems are down Continuity planners hit this contradiction early. The plan describes what to do when the network, the file share or the building is unavailable — and if the only copy is in that network, it fails at exactly the moment it is needed. That is why mature programmes keep printed copies distributed to team leads and off-site, however digital the rest of the organisation is. A printed copy is only useful if someone can find the right procedure in it quickly, under conditions that are already going badly. That is a tab problem rather than a document problem, and it is the part most plans skip. ## The sections a continuity plan repeats Structures differ by industry and by which framework a programme follows, but the categories recur. Most plans index around policy and scope, the impact analysis, critical business functions, recovery procedures, technology and systems recovery, emergency contacts, vendor and supplier information, communications, and the record of testing and exercises. Emergency contacts and recovery procedures earn their own tabs and usually their own colours, because they are what someone reaches for first. A plan where contacts are buried in an appendix has failed a usability test before the first exercise. - Policy & Scope · Business Impact Analysis · Critical Functions - Recovery Procedures · IT & Systems Recovery · Data Restoration - Emergency Contacts · Vendors & Suppliers · Communications - Testing & Exercises · After-Action · Appendices ## Annual review is the reorder Continuity plans are living documents. Programmes review them annually at minimum, revise after every exercise, and update whenever a critical vendor, system or site changes. Each substantive revision means redistributing copies to everyone who holds one. Ordering the review cycle in one run is cheaper per set and simpler to administer — one proof, one delivery to distribute. If only pages changed, the tab set reorders identically and replacement pages drop into a binder that already matches. The design is saved, so this year's copies match last year's exactly. - Minimum 25 sets, volume pricing to 1,000+, setup included - About 3 business days from proof approval - Saved design — annual reprints match the existing copies ## Distributed copies need identical indexes Continuity copies do not sit in one place by design. They go to site leads, recovery team members, executive vehicles, off-site storage and sometimes a vendor or two. During an actual event, people are working from different physical copies while talking to each other. That only works if every copy is indexed identically. Someone saying "it's under Recovery Procedures, third tab" has to be true for the person holding a different binder in another building. A printed set removes the variation that creeps in when copies are assembled locally over several years. ## Stock and reinforcing for every copy Tabzoola prints continuity tabs on 90# or 110# index stock with Mylar over every printed tab — economical at the volumes a distributed plan requires, and built for a binder that is opened for exercises and pulled out during an event. Copies that travel in vehicles or go to plant floors can add binding-edge reinforcing along the punched edge. Every copy comes off one saved design, so the index is identical wherever the binder lives. - 90# or 110# index with Mylar on every tab - Optional binding-edge reinforcing for copies that travel - One design across every copy, so every copy reads the same ## Questions ### Who prints tab dividers for a business continuity plan binder? Tabzoola prints them: email your list of tab titles to orders@tabzoola.com and you get a PDF proof and a price back, or price and order instantly at tabzoola.com/order. They are printed to order: a 10-tab business continuity plan set — Activation, Crisis Team, Contacts, Critical Functions, Recovery Objectives, Alternate Site, IT Recovery, Communications, Vendors and Testing & Updates — collated and 3-hole punched with clear Mylar on every tab, any section renamed to match your plan. From 25 sets with a free PDF proof, so every site and every crisis team member gets the identical binder. At Tabzoola a 10-tab set is $9.92 a set at the 25-set minimum ($247.88), setup included. ### What sections go in a business continuity plan binder? Most plans index around Policy and Scope, Business Impact Analysis, Critical Business Functions, Recovery Procedures, IT and Systems Recovery, Emergency Contacts, Vendors and Suppliers, Communications, and Testing and Exercises. Contacts and recovery procedures usually get their own colours since they are reached for first. Because the tabs are printed to your wording, the binder matches your programme's structure. ### Why print a continuity plan at all if everything is digital? Because the plan describes what to do when the systems are unavailable. A BC/DR plan stored only in the network it is meant to recover fails at the moment it is needed, which is why mature programmes distribute printed copies to team leads and off-site regardless of how digital the rest of the organisation is. ### How many tabs does a BC/DR binder need? Twelve to fifteen is typical, because someone opening it during an event wants one specific procedure rather than a browse. That suits the 1/12 and 1/15 cuts, and every cut from 1/2 to 1/15 is available. The tab cut calculator turns a section count into the right cut and banks. ### Can we order matching sets for office and field copies? Yes, and it is worth doing. Tabzoola saves the design, so office, executive and field copies are all indexed identically. Field copies that travel in vehicles or go to plant floors can add binding-edge reinforcing on the same design. ### What happens when we revise the plan? If the section structure is unchanged, the tab set reorders identically and replacement pages drop into binders that already match. When the structure changes, edit the saved design and reorder — every holder gets the same updated index rather than a patchwork built up over several revisions. ## Related - [Free business continuity plan binder checklist (PDF)](https://tabzoola.com/api/binder-checklist?kind=bcp) - [All custom index tabs — every type we make](https://tabzoola.com/tabs) - [Operations, safety & training manual tabs](https://tabzoola.com/tabs/operations-and-training-manual-tabs) - [IT & datacenter runbook tabs](https://tabzoola.com/tabs/it-and-datacenter-runbook-tabs) --- Tabzoola (tabzoola.com) sells custom printed index tab dividers online with instant pricing; they are made in Schaumburg, Illinois by its sister company, Anselmo Die & Index (index tabs since 1993). 25-set minimum, guest checkout, free PDF proof, orders@tabzoola.com accepts a typed or attached list of titles.
