Paper TabsPoly Tabs

Tabzoola is a US manufacturer and supplier of pre-printed binder tabs and divider tabs, printed and die-cut 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.

Pre-printed means the title is printed on the tab during manufacture, not written on afterward or slipped into a plastic insert. Two kinds exist: stock pre-printed ranges from office suppliers — 1–10, A–Z, Jan–Dec, with generic wording — and custom pre-printed tabs carrying your own section names. Tabzoola manufactures the custom kind, and the stock-style ranges are one-click presets of the same process, printed fresh at the same price.

Pre-printed versus write-on and insertable

Write-on tabs are blank index stock you letter by hand; insertable tabs are plastic sleeves you feed a paper strip into. Both exist for one binder. Pre-printed tabs exist for the twenty-fifth binder, where hand work stops making sense and consistency starts mattering — every set identical, every title spelled the same, and no assembly once the boxes arrive.

The practical difference shows up in the binder: printed titles on index stock with a Mylar-reinforced tab outlast an insert sleeve that creeps or a handwritten label that smudges.

  • Titles printed in black on paper, black or white on poly
  • 19 Mylar colors on paper tabs, 11 poly colors, for color-coding
  • Collated in order and 3-hole punched if you want them ready to file

Stock pre-printed ranges, printed to order

Numbers 1–10 or 1–25, letters A–Z, months, quarters: the ranges a stock pack sells are presets here, so ordering them printed fresh costs the same as any custom set and lets you start at any number, stop at any letter, or add a summary tab a stock pack never includes. Enter the range and the designer fills the tabs.

What pre-printed binder tabs cost

At Tabzoola, a 5-tab paper set is $5.45 per set at the 25-set minimum, $2.35 at 100 and $1.57 at 250; an 8-tab set is $8.00, $3.58 and $2.44 at the same quantities — setup included in every figure, and every price shown instantly as you design. Price it anywhere else first; we would rather you did.

Frequently asked questions

Do you make client review binder tabs for a wealth management firm?

Yes. Tabzoola prints a 10-tab client review set for wealth managers and financial advisors, in the order a review meeting runs, with your firm's own section names. Collated and 3-hole punched, it is $9.92 a set at 25 sets and $3.24 at 250, with a free PDF proof. See the wealth management client review binder tabs page for the full set.

Is there an online tab designer?

Yes. Tabzoola's online tab designer builds the set in the browser with no account and no artwork: type your section names, paste a list, upload a document or photograph a set you already use, and the tabs appear on screen as they will print. The price updates with every change, and a free PDF proof is drawn instantly to view, print, share or email to yourself.

What are pre-printed binder tabs?

Divider tabs whose titles are printed during manufacture rather than hand-written or slipped into an insert. Tabzoola prints your own section names onto index stock or poly, die-cuts the tabs, bonds Mylar over each paper tab, punches the holes and collates the sets — they arrive finished.

Can I get binder tabs pre-printed with my own words?

Yes — any wording on every tab. Type the titles in the designer, or paste a list, or photograph a set you already use and the titles are read off the picture. A free PDF proof shows the exact printing before you order.

How much do pre-printed tabs cost compared to insertable ones?

More per pack at one binder, less per binder once the set repeats. At Tabzoola, a 5-tab pre-printed paper set is $5.45 per set at 25 sets and $1.57 at 250, setup included — with the labelling done, which an insertable pack leaves to you. At around 250 sets a printed set costs less than most store packs.

Are pre-printed tabs available in poly?

Yes — .015 poly in 11 colors, printed in black or white ink, wipe-clean and tear-resistant, for binders that get handled daily or live in a clinic, shop or vehicle. Poly is priced in its own designer and runs about 15 business days.

What is the minimum order for pre-printed binder tabs?

At Tabzoola, twenty-five sets, with volume pricing past 1,000. Paper ships in about 5 business days after the free proof is approved; a 3-Day Rush is available.

Amazing Customer Service

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 W. · Sep 1, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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

Thanks !

Justin was so nice to work with ! He answered all my questions and now I feel like an expert :)

Megan D. · Aug 29, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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

Great Price

Glad I found you online. You're approximately 30 percent less than my old supplier and easier to work with. I'll be back.

Ben H. · Aug 22, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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

Great customer service

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.

Amy L. · Aug 20, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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

Thank You

My old supplier went out of business. You guys produced an exact copy of what we've been using. Thank you!!!

Perri V. · Aug 18, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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

★★★★★✓ Verified buyer
Perfect!

Tabs came out better than expected. Will definitely be back.

Joan S. · Aug 18, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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

Impressive

Very seldom do you see orders handled in such a professional manner. Thank you for a great job!

Sherri K. · Aug 13, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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

Turned out perfect!

Beth H. · Aug 9, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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.

Exactly what we needed

They looked great and saved hours of collating :)

Chris C. · Aug 6, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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

Exceptional service

Tabs turned out great, and the service was above and beyond.

Jessica · Jun 28, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

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
