Create your own custom dividers with printable index tabs!

High Speed ​​Copier Tabs are sets of blank printable tab dividers that allow any organization to create custom index tabs through their printer. They are available in a variety of standard configurations, giving the user the ability to select the exact layout to suit their document binding needs without having to pay for custom tabbed blanks.

Why should you use printable index tabs?

If your company sends the printing and binding of all your training manuals to outside providers, you will experience considerable savings by bringing them in-house. Preparing your own presentation materials in-house also helps speed up edits and revisions, making your organization more responsive to time-sensitive situations. If you work in the legal, pharmaceutical, insurance, or financial industries (or any other industry that handles sensitive documents), preparing your own reports in-house with custom printed tabs will allow you to maintain a high level of privacy for your clients.

Glossary

bank – Each complete row (or set) of reeds is called a “bank” (also called a “reed cut”). The bank size is usually written in one of two ways: “X bank” or “1/X cut” (where “X” is the number of tabs in the bank). The most popular tab bank is five tabs (“bank 5” or “1/5 cut”), although bank sizes ranging from three to ten are commonly available.

Snack – The order in which the pages are arranged is called the “collation”. See the “Collation Styles” section for specific information on the available index tab collation styles.

Mylar – This transparent printable coating reinforces the tabs, making them resistant to tearing. Mylar-reinforced tabs are highly recommended for use when creating frequently handled documents, such as price lists or training manuals.

perforation pattern – The punch pattern indicates the number of holes in the paper. Three-hole punched tabs are designed to fit standard size three-ring binders. The 19-hole punch pattern is the standard pattern for comb binding. Unpunched tabs are also available so users can punch them to their own specifications, including 43- or 44-hole spiral binding, 2:1 or 3:1 pitch wire binding, or 11-hole VeloBind patterns.

Reverse classification: Also called “single reverse interleaved” or “single reverse.” The tabs are sorted in reverse order (ie 5-4-3-2-1). This style is most commonly used on models of copiers in the Xerox DocuTech family, as well as machines from Kodak, Canon, IBM, Heidelberg, Océ, Ricoh, and many others.

Straight collated: Also called “single straight interleaved” or “single straight”. The tabs are ordered (ie 1-2-3-4-5). These tabs are used in the Xerox DocuColor family, as well as copier models from Savin, Toshiba, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Gestetner and Canon.

Unchecked: Tabs are arranged in groups by tab (ie all 1, all 2, all 3, all 4, all 5). These are the most universal collation style, as they can be used by any machine capable of printing index tabs.
