Tabzoola prices 25 sets of 5 custom paper tabs at $5.45 a set, $136.25 total — delivered free.

Tabzoola is a US manufacturer and supplier of custom tab sets, printed and die-cut to order at our own plant in Schaumburg, Illinois — the online tab division of Anselmo Die & Index, Inc., die-cutting index tabs since 1993 and shipping nationwide.
A tab set is one complete run of printed tabs for one binder — every section, in order, collated so it drops onto the rings in a single motion. Tabzoola prices 25 sets of 5 custom paper tabs at $5.45 a set, $136.25 total, setup included; an 8-tab set is $8.00 a set at 25. Every figure on the site is per set, because a set is what a binder needs.
Choose the count (2 to 150 tabs), the cut (1/2 through 1/15), paper with Mylar-reinforced edges or wipe-clean poly, then type the titles or load a ready-made list. A free PDF proof comes back before anything prints.
What counts as one set
One set is one binder's worth: if a manual has eight sections, a set is eight tabs in that order. Twenty-five binders need twenty-five sets. The price per set falls as the number of sets rises, because the setup — typesetting, plates, die — is charged once per order and spread across the run.
That is also why a 5-tab set and an 8-tab set cost different amounts at the same quantity: every tab is a printed, die-cut, reinforced piece, so the set price tracks the tab count.
- Set = every tab for one binder, collated in order
- Minimum order 25 sets; volume pricing to 1,000+
- Price per set falls with quantity because setup is charged once
Matching the set to the binder
The count comes from the material, not from a pack size. Stock dividers force sections to fit five, eight or ten; printed sets go the other way — count the sections the binder actually has, and that is the set. When the count exceeds what the cut fits across one edge, the extra tabs step into a second staggered bank automatically.
Ready-made sets exist for the common cases — the standard medical chart set, numbered and lettered exhibit ranges, monthly and A–Z sequences — and load into the designer in one click, titled and priced.
Collated or by position
Collated means the sets arrive assembled, one complete set after another. Uncollated means the tabs arrive stacked by position — all the first tabs together, all the seconds — and somebody builds each set by hand. Uncollated is cheaper and is the most common hidden difference between two quotes that otherwise look identical; here it is a visible option with its price shown as you toggle it.

Frequently asked questions
What is a tab set?
One complete run of printed tabs for one binder — every section tab, in order, collated together. Pricing is per set: 25 sets of 5 custom paper tabs are $5.45 a set, $136.25 total, setup included; the per-set price falls as the quantity rises.
How many tabs can be in one set?
Anything from 2 to 150. The cut sets how many step across one page edge (a 1/5 cut steps five, a 1/10 ten); a set with more tabs than the cut allows arranges itself into staggered banks automatically.
What are the best tab dividers?
The ones that survive the binder they live in: index stock with Mylar-reinforced tab edges for daily handling, solid poly for wipe-down environments, pre-printed titles rather than hand labels, collated in order, and a proof approved before anything prints.
How many types of tabs are there?
Two materials — paper index stock and .015 poly — in every cut from 1/2 to 1/15, side-tab or bottom-tab layouts, one- or two-sided printing, 19 Mylar colors on paper and 11 poly colors. Every combination is the same process; the designer shows the price of each as you choose.
Can I order sets with different tab counts in one order?
Yes — each bank in an order can have its own count, cut and titles, and each is priced on its own line. A firm that needs an 8-tab client binder and a 13-tab exhibit set orders both at once.
What is the minimum number of sets?
Twenty-five, with volume pricing to 1,000 and beyond. At 25 sets a 5-tab paper set is $5.45 per set; at 250 it is $1.57.

Customer Reviews
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.
