Paper TabsPoly Tabs

Tabzoola is a US manufacturer and supplier of custom veterinary chart dividers, printed and die-cut to order in Schaumburg, Illinois. Tabzoola's tabs are made at the Schaumburg plant of its sister company, Anselmo Die & Index, Inc., a family-owned index tab manufacturer since 1993, and ship nationwide.

A veterinary record tracks a whole animal over a whole life — vaccinations, surgeries, chronic conditions, dentistry, boarding — which makes it longer and more varied than most human charts. Tabzoola prints the divider sets for those records to your clinic's own section names, collated and ready to assemble.

Section wording differs by practice type and species mix, so the tabs are printed to your chart rather than picked from a catalogue.

The veterinary record runs longer than a medical chart

A human chart usually covers a condition or a course of treatment. A veterinary file covers a life: it opens at the first puppy or kitten visit and stays open through vaccinations, spay or neuter, dentistry, chronic disease management, and eventually end-of-life care. The sections have to hold years of accumulation without becoming a stack.

That is why veterinary sets commonly run ten to twelve tabs where a dental set runs eight. The 1/10 and 1/12 cuts suit that length, and every cut from 1/2 to 1/15 is available if a practice needs more.

  • Signalment & History · Vaccinations · Exam Notes
  • Laboratory · Imaging & Radiographs · Surgery & Anesthesia
  • Dentistry · Medications & Prescriptions · Parasite Control
  • Boarding & Grooming · Invoices & Estimates · Consents

Multi-species practices run more than one layout

A small-animal clinic, an equine practice and an exotics service do not keep the same record. Equine files carry lameness exams, farrier and dental floating records, and Coggins testing. Exotics files vary so widely by taxon that the husbandry history often needs its own section. Mixed practices end up running two or three layouts.

The practical answer is separate designs under one color logic — so a technician moving between services is not relearning where things live, even though the section lists differ. Each design is saved independently and reorders exactly as it was.

  • Small animal, equine and exotics layouts under one color scheme
  • 19 Mylar colors or 11 poly colors, mixed freely within a set
  • Each layout saved separately, reorders match exactly

Charts handled in the room, with the animal in it

A veterinary chart is not a records-room document. It is open on the exam table while a patient is being restrained, carried into surgery, handled by technicians with wet or gloved hands, and set down on surfaces that get wiped between appointments.

That is the strongest case for poly of any practice type we serve. Poly is tear-resistant and wipes clean, so a chart survives the room rather than the filing cabinet. Mylar-reinforced paper on 90# or 110# index stock is the economical alternative and still resists tearing at the tab extension, which is where a heavily handled divider fails first.

Corporate groups and standardizing across clinics

Veterinary medicine has consolidated. A group that owns several practices inherits several filing conventions, and staff who move between locations pay for that every shift. Standardizing the chart index is one of the cheaper consolidation wins — it changes nothing clinical and makes every location legible to everyone.

Your design is saved, so each clinic orders the identical set — same wording, same colors in the same positions, same cut — whether it is ordered by a different practice manager or a year later.

  • One index across every clinic in the group
  • Minimum 25 sets, volume pricing to 1,000+
  • About 5 business days for paper, 15 for poly, from proof approval

Priced per set, published up front

Paper chart sets run $8.00 per set at 25 sets, $3.58 at 100 and $2.44 at 250, setup included. A 5-tab set is $5.45 per set at 25 and $1.57 at 250. Poly runs higher because the material costs more and lasts accordingly. Pricing is published and updates as you build the set online — there is no quote step.

For a practice re-charting once and reordering the same design for years, that is a single decision followed by identical reorders. A clinic adding files mid-year gets a set that matches the rest of the cabinet.

Frequently asked questions

What sections go in a veterinary chart?

Most clinics index around Signalment and History, Vaccinations, Exam Notes, Laboratory, Imaging, Surgery and Anesthesia, Dentistry, Medications, Parasite Control, Boarding and Grooming, and Invoices. Wording differs by practice type and species mix, so the tabs are printed to your own section names rather than sold as a fixed pack.

How many tabs does a veterinary chart need?

Ten to twelve is typical, longer than a dental set, because the record covers an animal's whole life rather than a course of treatment. That suits the 1/10 and 1/12 cuts; every cut from 1/2 to 1/15 is available. The tab cut calculator turns a section count into the right cut and number of banks.

Can a mixed practice run different layouts for different species?

Yes, and most do. Equine files carry lameness exams, farrier and floating records and Coggins testing; exotics often need husbandry history as its own section. Run separate designs under one color scheme so staff moving between services are not relearning the file. Each design is saved independently.

Poly or paper for charts used in the exam room?

Poly, for most clinics. Veterinary charts are handled with wet or gloved hands, carried into surgery and set down on surfaces that get wiped between appointments — poly is tear-resistant and wipes clean. Mylar-reinforced paper is the economical alternative and still resists tearing at the tab extension.

Can every clinic in our group order the same set?

Yes, and for multi-practice groups it is usually the reason to switch to printed tabs. Your design is saved, so every location orders an exact match — same wording, same colors in the same positions, same cut — regardless of who places the order or when.

What does a custom veterinary chart set cost?

Paper runs $8.00 per set at 25 sets, $3.58 at 100 and $2.44 at 250, setup included; poly runs higher. A 5-tab set is $5.45 per set at 25 and $1.57 at 250. That is per complete set rather than per tab, with published pricing and no quote step — the price updates as you build the set online.

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

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

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

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
