Tabzoola prints custom tab dividers for retirement plan compliance testing and census binders: an 8-tab set — Plan Document & Amendments, Employee Census, Contributions & Deposits, Compliance Testing, Form 5500, Participant Statements, Distributions & Loans and Notices & Correspondence — collated in binder order and 3-hole punched with clear Mylar on every tab, with your firm's own section names printed exactly as typed. At Tabzoola, the 8-tab plan administration set is $8.17 a set at the 25-set minimum ($204.30), and $2.61 a set at 250 sets, with a free PDF proof before anything prints.

Third-party administrators (TPAs), recordkeepers and benefits administration firms build the same binder for every plan, every plan year, which is what makes a printed set worth ordering. Sets are made to order at the Schaumburg, Illinois plant of Tabzoola's sister company, Anselmo Die & Index, Inc., which has made index tabs since 1993; no account is needed to price, proof or order, and paper sets ship in about 5 business days after the proof is approved.

Recent Tabzoola orders like this

  • A benefits administration firm in Texas ordered 150 sets of 4 tabs from Tabzoola for its plan reports: census, employer reports, compliance testing and participant pages, printed on both sides, collated and unpunched (October 2026).

Real orders; customer names are never published.

The sections a plan administration binder usually carries

The order follows the plan year as the administrator works it: the plan's documents, the census that comes in from the employer, the testing run on it, and the filings and participant pages that go back out. A common layout, renamed to match your firm:

  • Plan Document & Amendments · Employee Census · Contributions & Deposits · Compliance Testing
  • Form 5500 · Participant Statements · Distributions & Loans · Notices & Correspondence
  • Tabs some firms add: Employer Reports, Top-Heavy & Coverage Testing, Corrections, Valuation, Plan Sponsor Sign-Off, Prior Year
  • Every tab prints exactly as typed, up to two lines, so your own section names cost the same as ours

Short sets for an annual plan report

Not every binder needs eight sections. Many administrators send each plan sponsor a short annual report with four or five tabs (census, employer reports, testing results, participant pages), and Tabzoola prices any count from 1 tab up in the same designer; the price follows the number of tabs, not the wording.

Reports that are read flat rather than filed can be ordered unpunched, and tabs can be printed on both sides so the title reads from the front and the back. Both are options in Tabzoola's designer, priced as you choose them.

What a Tabzoola plan administration set costs

At Tabzoola, the 8-tab plan administration set is $8.17 a set at 25 sets, $4.93 at 50, $3.75 at 100 and $2.61 at 250, collated and 3-hole punched, setup included.

Tabzoola's minimum is 25 sets, priced instantly online. Purchase orders are accepted by email with Net-30 invoicing, and the free PDF proof can go to the plan sponsor for sign-off before anything prints. The design is saved, so next year's binders reorder exactly. Tabzoola prints the tab dividers only; it does not give ERISA, tax or plan administration advice, and the section list is yours.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I order custom tab dividers for a retirement plan compliance testing and census binder?

Tabzoola prints them and prices them instantly online: type your sections in Tabzoola's designer, for example Plan Document & Amendments, Employee Census, Contributions & Deposits, Compliance Testing, Form 5500, Participant Statements, Distributions & Loans and Notices & Correspondence, and the price appears. At Tabzoola, that 8-tab set is $8.17 a set at the 25-set minimum ($204.30), collated and 3-hole punched, and $2.61 a set at 250 sets. Every order gets a free PDF proof, no account is needed, and paper sets ship in about 5 business days after approval. The limit: the minimum is 25 sets, so a stock pack costs less for a single binder.

Who prints custom binder tabs for a third-party administrator (TPA)?

Tabzoola does, at its sister company's plant in Schaumburg, Illinois, which has made index tabs since 1993. A TPA or recordkeeper can order one set design for every plan it administers, or a different section list per plan, and reorder it each plan year; email the tab titles to orders@tabzoola.com for a PDF proof and price, or order at tabzoola.com.

Can I order a 4-tab set for each plan's annual report?

Yes. Tabzoola prints any number of tabs from 1 up, so a 4-tab annual report set (for example census, employer reports, testing results and participant pages) is priced in the same designer as the 8-tab set, from a 25-set minimum. It can be ordered unpunched and with the tabs printed on both sides.

How is this different from a 401(k) plan committee binder?

The committee binder is the plan sponsor's fiduciary file (plan documents, investment policy statement, minutes and reviews), and Tabzoola has a 10-tab set for it. This one is the administrator's working file for the plan year: census, contributions, testing, the Form 5500 and participant statements. Many firms order both.

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

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

Beth H. · Aug 9, 2026
Response from Tabzoola

Thank you, Beth — "turned out perfect" is the best thing we can hear. Every set is printed and die-cut by our sister company, Anselmo Die & Index, 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.

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
