Tabzoola prints custom substitute teacher binder tabs for whole schools: a 10-tab sub binder set — Daily Schedule, Class Roster, Seating Charts, Lesson Plans, Procedures & Routines, Students with Plans, Behavior, Helpers & Contacts, Emergency Procedures and Notes for the Teacher — collated and 3-hole punched with clear Mylar on every tab, with your school's own section names. At Tabzoola, the 10-tab sub binder set is $9.92 a set at the 25-set minimum ($247.88), with a free PDF proof before anything prints.

When every classroom's sub binder uses the same tabs, a substitute who covers five rooms in a week finds the schedule, the roster and the emergency plan in the same place every time. 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.

What a sub binder usually holds

Schools and teachers commonly include these sections; rename any to match your building:

  • Daily Schedule · Class Roster · Seating Charts · Lesson Plans · Procedures & Routines
  • Students with Plans (accommodations, allergies, medical — kept confidential per school policy) · Behavior · Helpers & Contacts · Emergency Procedures · Notes for the Teacher
  • Emergency drill procedures should match your school's own emergency plan

Ordering for a whole building

The minimum is 25 sets — about one per classroom in an elementary school. A district can order one design for every building, and the saved design reorders each fall exactly as approved. Purchase orders are accepted by email with Net-30 invoicing.

Frequently asked questions

Who prints tab dividers for substitute teacher binders?

Tabzoola prints them to order: a 10-tab sub binder set from Daily Schedule and Class Roster through Seating Charts, Lesson Plans and Procedures to Emergency Procedures, collated and 3-hole punched with clear Mylar on every tab, with your school's section names. At Tabzoola, 25 sets are $9.92 a set at the 25-set minimum ($247.88), and $3.24 a set at 250 sets, with a free PDF proof before anything prints.

What should be in a sub binder?

Most sub binders hold the daily schedule, class roster, seating charts, lesson plans, classroom procedures, information on students with plans or allergies, behavior expectations, helpers and contacts, emergency procedures, and a page for notes back to the teacher. Tabzoola prints a 10-tab set in that order, and any tab can be renamed.

Can every classroom in the school get the same sub binder?

Yes — that is the point of ordering printed tabs. At Tabzoola the minimum is 25 sets, the design is saved, and the whole building or district reorders the identical set each year.

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

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 :)

Louie B. · Aug 14, 2026
Response from 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

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

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!

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
