# Individual & Replacement Index Tabs | Tabzoola Source: https://tabzoola.com/tabs/individual-and-replacement-tabs > Yes, you can order a single tab: Tabzoola prints any letter, number or word in any position and cut from 1/2 to 1/15, with a minimum of 25 of that one tab. Priced online, with a free PDF proof before anything prints. Tabzoola's custom paper sets start at $136.25 for 25 sets of 5 tabs. Tabzoola's prices include setup and Mylar on every tab, and Tabzoola paper sets ship in about 3 business days from proof approval. 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 supplier of individual index tabs and replacement tab dividers, made to order at the Schaumburg, Illinois plant of its sister company, Anselmo Die & Index, Inc., which has die-cut index tabs since 1993 and ships 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. Tabzoola's designer prices it instantly: 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 Tabzoola charges custom printing 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: a Tabzoola 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 instantly in the designer, so the comparison takes thirty seconds. ## Questions ### Where can I order individual legal tabs? From Tabzoola, online: Tabzoola prints individual legal tabs, any exhibit number, letter or party prefix (Exhibit 7, Exhibit H, P-12) in the tab position and cut you need, with a minimum of 25 of that one tab, priced in the designer with a free PDF proof. For a few stock A–Z or 1–25 tabs, legal-supply and office-supply stores sell packs; Tabzoola is the answer when the tab has to match a set, use your own wording or come in quantity. ### 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: at Tabzoola, 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, 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 Tabzoola's 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. At Tabzoola, 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? Tabzoola paper produces in about 3 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 at Tabzoola for paper with setup included, priced instantly in the designer with no quote step. Tabzoola's price curve rewards stocking up: 50 tabs $56.00, 100 tabs $71.00, 250 tabs $102.50. ## Related - [Match my old tabs from a photo](https://tabzoola.com/match-my-tabs) - [Pre-printed binder tabs — full sets, titles printed](https://tabzoola.com/tabs/pre-printed-binder-tabs) - [Legal tabs & exhibit dividers — the full litigation range](https://tabzoola.com/tabs/legal) - [Unpunched index tabs — no holes, solid edge](https://tabzoola.com/tabs/unpunched-index-tabs) - [Exhibit tab generator — auto-number any range](https://tabzoola.com/exhibit-tab-generator) - [Legal exhibit tabs — full litigation sets](https://tabzoola.com/tabs/legal-exhibit-tabs) - [Alphabetical index tabs (A-Z sets)](https://tabzoola.com/tabs/alphabetical-index-tabs) - [Fast custom tabs — when the deadline is the spec](https://tabzoola.com/tabs/fast-custom-tabs) - [All custom index tabs — every type we make](https://tabzoola.com/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.
