Tabzoola is a US manufacturer and supplier of custom hospital chart dividers for inpatient nursing units, made to order in Schaumburg, Illinois by Anselmo Die & Index, Inc., which has die-cut index tabs since 1993. A 12-tab inpatient chart set costs $11.66 a set at the 25-set minimum and $3.86 at 250, collated and 3-hole punched.
Hospitals that run electronic records still keep a paper chart at the unit for the documents that need a signature or have to be on hand when systems are down: orders, consents, flow sheets and the downtime packet. Tabzoola prints those chart dividers to the hospital's own section list, so a float nurse, a resident and a unit clerk all find Physician Orders in the same place on every chart.
Tabzoola makes hospital chart dividers two ways: Mylar-reinforced paper for charts that are thinned and archived, or solid .015 poly that wipes clean for charts handled with gloves at the bedside and the nurses' station.
The sections an inpatient chart usually carries
Inpatient charts run longer than clinic charts because nursing documentation sits beside the physician record. A representative 12-section structure, renamed to match your forms:
- Face Sheet: admission record, demographics, contacts and insurance.
- Physician Orders: admission, standing, telephone and verbal orders.
- History & Physical: the admitting H&P and updates.
- Progress Notes: physician and interdisciplinary notes.
- Nurses Notes: shift assessments and nursing narrative.
- MAR: medication administration records.
- Flow Sheets: vitals, intake and output, and graphic records.
- Labs: results and pathology.
- Radiology: imaging reports.
- Consults: specialist consults and referrals.
- Consents: signed consents, advance directives and releases.
- Discharge Planning: case management, education and discharge instructions.
One set for every unit, or one per service line
Most hospitals pick one of two approaches. A single house-wide set means any chart on any floor opens the same way, which helps float staff and the health information management team that thins and scans charts. Separate sets by service line suit units whose documents differ: labor and delivery adds Prenatal Records and Delivery Record, surgical units add Anesthesia and Operative Report, behavioral health adds Treatment Plan and Legal Status.
Tabzoola saves each design, so every unit reorders exactly the same set, and a new section can be added for one unit without changing the others. The price follows tabs per set and number of sets, not the wording, so a unit's own set costs the same as the house set.
Cut, size and material for unit charts
Twelve sections fit in one bank at a 1/12 cut, which keeps every tab visible in a single cascade down the chart. Units with fewer sections use the 1/8 or 1/10 cut for wider, easier-to-read tabs. Sheets are letter size with a half-inch tab, so dividers finish at 9 x 11 and stay visible past the chart contents in standard chart binders and ring holders.
Solid .015 poly is the choice for the active chart at the bedside: one piece of plastic, wipeable with standard surface disinfectants and effectively tear-proof. Mylar-reinforced 90# or 110# paper costs less and suits charts that are thinned to storage. Both are printed with your section titles, collated and 3-hole punched; other ring patterns are quoted.
Ordering for a hospital
The minimum is 25 sets, priced instantly online with volume breaks to 1,000 sets and beyond on request. Every order gets a free PDF proof before anything prints. Paper ships about 5 business days after proof approval and poly about 15. Purchase orders are accepted with Net 30, and one order can be split across units or shipped to more than one building.
Tabzoola manufactures the dividers. The section list comes from the hospital's own policies and forms; Tabzoola does not give clinical, documentation or records-retention guidance.

Customer Reviews
We had a deadline to get 50 presentation books out, and our current tab supplier couldn't deliver the tabs that we needed on time. I worked directly with Justin and he was able to get our order manufactured and shipped out within days. The order arrived in time for us to complete our presentations, and the tabs looked great. This type of amazing customer service is very hard to find nowadays, but I'm thrilled to now have a supplier that I can count on.
Lamar, thank you — a deadline like yours is exactly what the shop is built for. The moment Justin heard it, your deadline became our deadline, and your order was manufactured and out the door in days. Rush work only counts when it arrives looking right, so "the tabs looked great" is the part we're proudest of. Count on us for the next one — we'll be here. John Anselmo, Tabzoola
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.
