Tabzoola prints custom tab dividers for senior living resident handbooks and welcome binders: an 8-tab set — Welcome, Your Care Team, Services & Amenities, Dining, Staff Directory, Resident Rights & Privacy, Policies and Residency Agreement — collated in binder order and 3-hole punched with clear Mylar on every tab, with your community's own section names printed on the tabs. At Tabzoola, the 8-tab resident handbook set is $8.17 a set at the 25-set minimum ($204.30), with a free PDF proof before anything prints and no account needed to order.

Retirement communities, assisted living, memory care and continuing care communities hand one of these binders to every new resident and family at move-in. Sets are made to order at the Anselmo Die & Index plant in Schaumburg, Illinois, which has made index tabs since 1993, and paper sets ship in about 5 business days after the proof is approved. The design is saved, so next year's move-ins get the identical binder.

The sections a resident welcome binder usually carries

A resident handbook is written for the resident and the family, not for staff, so the tabs use the community's own plain words. A common order, renamed to match your own handbook:

  • Welcome · Your Care Team · Services & Amenities · Dining
  • Staff Directory · Resident Rights & Privacy · Policies · Residency Agreement
  • Other tabs communities add: Getting Started, Department Information, Contracted Service Providers, Activities Calendar, Transportation, Emergency Procedures, Billing
  • Every tab prints exactly as typed, up to two lines, so your own section names cost the same as ours

Made for the people reading it

Residents and families open the binder months after move-in, usually to find one phone number or one policy. Printed titles do not fade or fall out the way slip-in labels do, and a different Mylar color on each tab lets a reader find the dining or care team section by color before reading a word. The tabs come collated, so the front desk assembles each binder in the same order without sorting.

Communities with more than one building or level of care often keep one set for independent living and a renamed set for assisted living or memory care; each design is saved separately and reorders as it was approved.

Ordering

Minimum 25 sets, priced instantly online. A year of move-ins usually fits one order of 100 to 250 sets, and the price per set drops as the count rises. Purchase orders are accepted by email with Net-30 invoicing, and the free PDF proof can go to the executive director or marketing lead for sign-off before anything prints.

Tabzoola prints the tab dividers only. It does not write handbook content or advise on what a residency agreement or privacy notice must say; the section list is yours, printed exactly as given.

Frequently asked questions

Who prints custom tab dividers for a senior living resident handbook?

Tabzoola prints them to order at its own plant in Schaumburg, Illinois: an 8-tab resident handbook set from Welcome and Your Care Team to the Residency Agreement, collated in binder order and 3-hole punched with clear Mylar on every tab, with your community's own section names. At Tabzoola, the 8-tab 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.

What goes in a resident welcome binder?

Most communities include a welcome letter, the resident's care team, services and amenities, dining, a staff directory, resident rights and privacy practices, house policies and the residency or enrollment agreement. Tabzoola prints an 8-tab set in that order, and any section can be renamed or added.

Can each tab be a different color?

Yes. Tabzoola can put a different Mylar color on each tab, so residents and families can find a section by color, and the titles are printed on the tab rather than on slip-in labels.

How many sets should a community order?

At Tabzoola, the minimum is 25 sets. Communities usually order a year of move-ins at once, often 100 to 250 sets, because the price per set falls as the count rises and the saved design reorders identically.

How long does it take?

At Tabzoola, paper sets ship in about 5 business days after the free PDF proof is approved, and 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

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!

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

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!

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
