Tabzoola is a US supplier of custom index tabs for TTB compliance records, 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.

Alcohol producers live under 27 CFR recordkeeping: daily records completed by the close of the next business day, monthly physical inventories, reports of operations that must be supported line by line, and a three-year retention clock. TTB's own audit guidance is blunt about what goes wrong — the most frequently cited issue across brewery, winery and distillery audits is records that are missing, inaccurate, or cannot be produced when asked.

That is a filing problem before it is a compliance problem, and it is what printed tabs fix: a binder per record family, tabbed to the way the regulation names things, so the entry that supports a report line is findable while the auditor waits.

## The record families the regulation already names

A brewery's daily records track materials received and used, beer produced, transfers for bottling and racking, and removals — the entries that must reconcile to the Brewer's Report of Operations. Wineries carry the parallel set behind the Report of Wine Premises Operations; distilled spirits plants keep production, storage and processing records that TTB expects to be well organized and readily available for inspection.

Tab the binder to those names — the regulation's names, not the office's nicknames — and the auditor's request maps straight onto your tabs. Common structures run ten to fifteen sections, which suits the 1/10 through 1/15 cuts.

- Materials received and used · production · transfers · removals
- Report-of-operations support, month by month
- Inventories · losses · tax determination · correspondence with TTB

## When the audit letter arrives, assembly is the job

A TTB audit starts with a letter listing the records and reports to be reviewed, and the agency's own advice is to gather everything requested as soon as possible. Producers whose binders already mirror the record families answer that letter with a cart, not a scramble.

The audit-response binder itself is a repeatable structure — the requested reports, the daily records behind them, inventory counts, and the correspondence log — and a saved tab design means the next letter, or the other location's letter, assembles the same way.

## Mylar on every tab, color by record family

Tabzoola prints every TTB set on white 90# or 110# index with Mylar film over each printed tab, the part that gets grabbed every time a binder opens. Binding-edge reinforcing is an option for the working binders opened every day.

Office sets — the retention archive, the report-support binders, the audit file — print from the same design, in 19 Mylar colors so beer, wine and spirits records (or locations, or years) block by color at a glance.

- Optional binding-edge reinforcing for daily-use binders
- Mylar-reinforced paper for the office archive and audit file
- Color-block by commodity, location or year

## Multi-site producers and the consultants who serve them

A producer with two breweries and a distillery wants every location's records to open the same way — and the compliance consultancies that run mock audits across dozens of client premises want the same thing at portfolio scale. One saved design covers every site, and every reorder matches exactly.

The three-year retention requirement quietly multiplies volume: each year's records join the archive rather than replacing it, so a producer eventually maintains three years of identically tabbed binders per record family.

## Ordering for a producer or compliance consultancy

An emailed purchase order is treated as the order — Net-30 invoicing, W-9s and vendor forms routine, published per-set pricing so the requisition writes itself. Tabzoola's minimum is 25 sets, with volume pricing past 1,000; sets produce in about 3 business days from proof approval, with a free PDF proof first.

Tabzoola supplies the index tabs and does not provide compliance advice or assess whether any recordkeeping system meets TTB requirements — your compliance officer or consultant owns the section list; we print it exactly.

## Questions

### What are TTB compliance binder tabs?

Printed divider tabs that organize an alcohol producer's federal records — daily operations records, report-of-operations support, transfers, inventories, tax determination and TTB correspondence — into binders tabbed to the regulation's own record families. Tabzoola prints them to your compliance officer's section list, collated, on index stock with Mylar on every tab.

### Why do tabs matter for a TTB audit?

Because TTB's own audit guidance identifies missing or disorganized records as the most frequently cited compliance issue across brewery, winery and DSP audits, and an audit begins with a letter listing exactly what will be reviewed. Records filed behind tabs that mirror the regulation's record families can be produced while the auditor waits — which is the difference between an audit that reviews your records and one that writes you up for them.

### How should a brewery's records binder be tabbed?

To the families the daily-records rule names: materials received and used, beer produced, transfers for bottling and racking, removals, inventories and losses, plus report-of-operations support month by month and a TTB correspondence section. Ten to fifteen tabs is typical, suiting the 1/10 to 1/15 cuts, with the same logic running in parallel for wine premises and DSP records.

### Can every location in a multi-site operation get identical sets?

Yes — the design is saved once and every site or client premises reorders against it, which is exactly what compliance consultancies running mock audits across a portfolio want: every binder at every premises opens the same way.

### Do you help decide what sections TTB requires?

No — Tabzoola supplies the index tabs and does not provide compliance advice or assess any recordkeeping system against 27 CFR. The section list belongs to your compliance officer or consultant; we print it exactly, with a free PDF proof before anything runs.
