Tabzoola is a US manufacturer and supplier of custom exhibit tabs for immigration filings, manufactured to order at our own plant in Schaumburg, Illinois — tabs made at the Anselmo Die & Index, Inc. plant, die-cutting index tabs since 1993 and shipping nationwide.
Immigration practice is exhibit-heavy paper practice: an employment petition or waiver filing routinely runs hundreds of pages across dozens of exhibits, and USCIS's own paper-filing recommendations ask for exactly what printed tabs deliver — clearly separated, clearly labeled sections that survive lockbox scanning, in a packet free of bindings that have to be torn apart. An adjudicator who can find any exhibit in seconds is an adjudicator reading your argument instead of hunting your evidence.
Tabs print to your exhibit list — numbered, lettered, or titled to match the index — and arrive collated one set per petition. Filing sets ship unpunched and unbound, the way a scannable packet should be; firm and client copies punch for the ring binders your office actually keeps.

What USCIS's filing recommendations mean for tabs
USCIS scans paper filings at intake, and its published recommendations follow from that: avoid binders, folders and bindings that must be disassembled, and separate the parts of the filing with labeled tab dividers so sections are not miscategorized when the scanning system indexes the packet.
That turns exhibit tabs from a courtesy into cheap insurance. A filing whose exhibits are separated by printed, labeled tabs is less likely to have evidence overlooked or misfiled at intake — and the same clarity serves the human adjudicator who eventually works the case.
- Labeled tab dividers between exhibits — per USCIS's own recommendations
- No bindings in the filing packet; tabs ship unpunched and collated
- Exhibit wording matches your table of contents exactly
Built around the exhibit index
Strong petitions run on an indexed exhibit list: a table of contents up front naming every exhibit, what it is, and what it proves — then tabs that repeat that list word for word. When the index says Exhibit 14 — Expert Opinion Letter and the tab says the same, the officer moves through the argument in order.
Tabs print numbered (1 through any count), lettered (A-Z, AA-ZZ), or fully titled. Firms filing the same petition type repeatedly — H-1B, L-1, O-1, EB-2 NIW, EB-5, family-based — standardize an exhibit skeleton per case type and reorder the same design petition after petition.
RFE responses are where tabs earn double
A Request for Evidence response answers specific government questions, and the strongest responses mirror the request: one tab per RFE item, in the RFE's own order, so the reviewing officer can check answers off one by one. In a climate of rising RFE rates, response assembly is a recurring production job in every busy firm.
Because responses assemble fast under deadline, having tab stock on hand matters: firms typically order exhibit sets in bulk — numbered ranges cover any case — and pull from the shelf as filings go out.
One filing, several copies, one design
Most matters produce more than one copy of the record: the filing itself, the client copy, and the attorney case file. The filing set ships unpunched and unbound; the office copies punch for three-ring case binders that stay navigable for years — the same design, finished two ways, so what the firm keeps mirrors what the government received.
Paper with Mylar reinforcement suits case binders that get pulled through years of status checks and follow-on filings; 19 Mylar colors let a firm color-code by case type or by attorney.
Volume pricing for high-volume practices
Immigration firms file at volume, and tabs are a per-filing consumable. At 25 sets a custom 10-tab set runs $9.70; at 250 sets $3.02; past 1,000 sets lower still — setup included, which is the range where printing your own exhibit structure costs less than buying stock numbered packs and stick-on labels.
Designs are saved: the exhibit skeleton you standardize today reorders identically for every future filing, and a new associate assembles a petition the same way the senior partner does.

Frequently asked questions
Does USCIS want tabs in paper filings?
USCIS's published paper-filing recommendations ask filers to separate the parts of a filing with labeled tab dividers while avoiding binders, folders and bindings that must be disassembled for scanning. Clearly separated, labeled exhibits are less likely to be miscategorized at intake — so tabs are recommended, bindings are not, and filing sets should ship unpunched and unbound.
What are immigration petition tabs?
Exhibit divider tabs printed to a petition's own exhibit list — numbered, lettered, or fully titled to match the table of contents — and collated one set per filing. They separate the evidence in USCIS filings and RFE responses, and the same design punches for the ring-bound case binders a firm keeps internally.
Numbered, lettered, or titled tabs — which should a firm order?
Numbered ranges are the workhorse because one bulk order covers any case: exhibits 1-25 or 1-50 pulled from the shelf as filings assemble. Titled tabs read best in case-type skeletons a firm files repeatedly (H-1B, EB-2 NIW, EB-5), where the same section names recur petition after petition. Many firms run both — numbered for filings, titled for the master case binder.
How should an RFE response be tabbed?
One tab per RFE item, in the order the request raises them, so the reviewing officer checks answers off one by one. Mirroring the government's own structure is the strongest presentation an RFE response can make, and it assembles fastest from a numbered tab range kept in stock.
Punched or unpunched?
Both, usually: unpunched and unbound for the filing packet itself, per USCIS's scanning-friendly recommendations, and 3-hole punched for the attorney and client copies that live in ring binders. It is the same saved design finished two ways, so the firm's copy mirrors the filed record page for page.
How is this different from your legal exhibit tabs?
Same manufacturing, different practice: the legal exhibit page covers trial, deposition and case binders for litigation. Immigration filings answer to USCIS's scanning-driven assembly rules — unbound packets, labeled dividers, exhibit indexes — and to the per-filing volume of a petition practice, which is what this page and its pricing serve.

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.
