The complete narration, word for word.
Paper, or poly? It's the first choice on every tab order — and it's easier than you think.
Paper tabs are the everyday standard. Ninety or one hundred ten pound index stock, crisp printing, and easy on the budget.
Want paper that lasts? Add Mylar reinforcing to the binding edge. Mylar on the tab is standard — a tough clear or colored film on the tab, in nineteen colors.
Poly tabs are solid plastic, fifteen thousandths of an inch thick. They don't tear, they don't stain, and they wipe clean.
So here's the rule. Opened every day? Kitchens, clinics, job sites? Go poly. Standard office binders and reference sets? Paper does the job for less.
