Ordering one tab, not a set: a single tab in a specific position, a replacement for one that tore, or extra tabs added to a set you already have. All three are routine here — the 25-tab minimum is 25 of the SAME tab, not 25 different ones.
Tabzoola is a US manufacturer and supplier of individual index tabs and replacement tab dividers, 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.
Sets fail one tab at a time: an exhibit letter runs out mid-case, a section divider tears in a chart that has years left, a filing system needs forty more of the letter H and none of anything else. The stock answer is buying pre-printed singles limited to A-Z and 1-31 in someone else's format — or rebuying whole sets to harvest one tab.
The custom answer is simpler: a one-tab design, printed with exactly the text you need — a letter, a number, Exhibit 47, Lab Reports, anything — in the quantity you need, matched to the cut, color and Mylar of the set it is joining. The designer prices it live: 25 identical tabs run $51.25 with setup included, and because setup is the bulk of that, 100 tabs cost only $71.

Ordering a specific tab position
Position is what makes a single tab orderable. In a 1/5 cut the five positions run top to bottom, so “3rd position, 1/5 cut” identifies exactly one tab — the middle one. That is the language to use, because “the third tab” is ambiguous once a set has more than one bank.
Any position in any cut is available: 1st through 5th in a 1/5, 1st through 8th in a 1/8, and so on to 1/15. If you are matching an existing set, tell us the cut and the position and we will cut to the same die.
- Say the cut AND the position — “4th position, 1/6 cut” is unambiguous
- Counting runs top to bottom on side tabs, left to right on bottom (hanging) tabs
- Not sure which cut you have? Count the positions in one complete row
Adding tabs to a set you already own
A set that needs a sixth section does not need reprinting. Order the additional tabs on their own — same cut, same Mylar color, same font — and they drop into the existing sets as an extra bank or an added position.
Two things make the match exact: the cut, and the color. If the original was ordered here, the saved design has both on file and the addition matches without you specifying anything. If it was not, send a sample tab and we will match the die and the color to it.
What an individual tab order actually is
In the designer, a set can be a single tab — position, text and color of your choosing — and the quantity is how many identical copies you want. Twenty-five sets of a one-tab design is a pack of twenty-five identical tabs, collated is meaningless at one tab so nothing is added, and the pack ships flat, punched or unpunched.
That structure beats stock singles in the two ways that matter: the text is not limited to an alphabet pack's choices, and the tab position is not stuck at whatever slot the pack maker chose — a replacement can land in the exact position of the tab it replaces.
- Any text: letters, numbers, exhibit ranges, section names
- Any position in the cut, so replacements drop into place
- 25 identical tabs $51.25 · 50 for $56 · 100 for $71 — setup included
The setup-amortization math favors stocking up
Custom printing charges its setup once per order, which produces a curve worth knowing: 25 identical tabs cost $51.25, but 50 cost $56.00 and 100 cost $71.00. The second fifty tabs cost nine dollars.
For a firm that burns exhibit letters or an office that loses the same section tab repeatedly, the practical move is one order sized for the year rather than three orders sized for the emergency.
Replacing a tab in an existing set
A replacement should disappear into the set it joins: same cut, same position, same body color, same Mylar. If the set was ours, the saved design has all of that and a match takes a minute. If it came from somewhere else, send a photo or a physical sample and we match the geometry and color from the piece.
The one honest caveat: paper stocks and Mylar tints vary between manufacturers, so a cross-vendor match is close rather than atomically identical. In a working binder that distinction disappears; in a presentation set being photographed, order the full set.
Exhibit letters and numbers, by the each
Litigation runs through individual exhibit tabs unpredictably — Exhibit 12 gets amended into 12A, the H tabs run dry the week of trial. Individual packs cover exactly the letters and numbers a case actually consumed, and the exhibit tab generator handles ranges when what you need is Exhibits 45 through 60 rather than forty more of one letter.
Paper with Mylar reinforcement is the standard for exhibit work; rush production is available when the deadline is the specification.
When a full set beats singles
Honesty about the crossover: an A-Z set printed as a set costs $23.30 per set at 25 sets — under a dollar a tab — because the tabs share one setup. Buying twenty-six separate single-letter packs would re-pay setup twenty-six times.
The rule of thumb: replacing or topping up a few specific tabs, order individuals; building or rebuilding whole alphabets or section systems, order sets. Both price live in the designer, so the comparison takes thirty seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Can I order just the 3rd position tab?
Yes. Give the cut and the position — for example “3rd position, 1/5 cut” — and that single tab is produced from the same die as a full set. Any position in any cut from 1/2 to 1/15 is available. The minimum is 25 of that one tab, not 25 different tabs.
Can you add tabs to a set I already have?
Yes, and it does not require reprinting the set. Additional tabs are produced to the same cut, Mylar color and font, and drop into the existing sets as an added position or an extra bank. If the original came from us, the saved design supplies the specification; if not, send a sample tab and we will match the die and color.
How do I know which position I need?
Count the positions in one complete row of your existing set — that gives you the cut. Then count down from the top for side tabs, or across from the left for bottom (hanging) tabs, to the tab you are replacing. Cut plus position identifies it exactly.
Can I order just one tab design instead of a full set?
Yes — the designer accepts sets of a single tab, and the order quantity becomes the number of identical copies: 25 identical tabs run $51.25 with setup included, 50 run $56.00, and 100 run $71.00, because the setup is charged once. Any text, any position in the cut, paper or poly, punched or unpunched.
Can you match a replacement tab to my existing set?
Usually, yes. If the set was printed here, the saved design carries the cut, position, colors and Mylar, and a match takes a minute. From another vendor, send a photo or physical sample and we match geometry and color from the piece — with the honest caveat that stocks and Mylar tints vary between manufacturers, so a cross-vendor match is close rather than perfectly identical.
Do you sell individual exhibit letter and number tabs?
Yes — packs of any single letter, number or label (Exhibit 12A included), which is how litigation actually consumes them. For ranges — Exhibits 45 through 60, or a fresh A-Z — the exhibit tab generator builds the whole run as one set, which shares one setup and costs far less per tab.
Why not just buy stock pre-printed singles?
Stock singles only exist for common alphabets and numbers, in the maker's position and color choices. Custom singles carry any text — section names, odd exhibit numbers, your wording — land in the exact position of the tab being replaced, and match your set's color and Mylar. Above a handful of tabs the price difference narrows fast because our setup amortizes: 100 identical tabs cost $71 all-in.
When should I order a full set instead of individual tabs?
When you need many different tabs at once. A 26-tab A-Z set runs $23.30 per set at 25 sets — under a dollar per tab — because all 26 share one setup, while 26 separate single-letter packs would pay setup 26 times. Singles are for replacing and topping up; sets are for building.
How fast can replacement tabs ship?
Paper produces in about 5 business days from proof approval, with a free PDF proof generated instantly from what you build — and rush production is available on request for the mid-trial emergencies this product exists for.
What is the minimum order for individual tabs?
Twenty-five identical tabs — $51.25 for paper with setup included, priced instantly in the designer with no quote step. The curve rewards stocking up: 50 tabs $56.00, 100 tabs $71.00, 250 tabs $102.50.

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.
