Tab
FAQ and Glossary
|
What
is a bank set?
The
"bank" is the number of tabs that will fit across
the full width of the sheet. If 5 tabs would fit evenly
across and you can still read all 5 tabs with no gaps between
them, than that is a "5 bank" set. Also, the number
of tabs in a bank determine the size of the tab extension
itself. A "3 bank" tab would be wider than a "7
bank". |
What
is the "Mylar" or "Lamination" on the
tab extension?
The
laminated coating applied to the tab is sometimes referred
to as "mylar" or "lamination". Either
term is fine. The tab extension takes a lot of abuse when
in use, either in a binder, filing system or catalog and
the reinforcing helps to maintain the appearance. |
What
colors are available for the mylar or lamination on the
tab extension?
There
are 19 standard colors available: Clear, Light Gray, Gray,
Dark Yellow, Light Yellow, Amber, Orange, Brown, Super Warm
Red, Red, Coral, Pink, Purple, Dark Blue, Medium Blue, Light
Blue, Dark Green, Medium Green and Light Green. |
Can
the tabs be printed in any color ink?
YES!
We can print the tab extension and any body copy required
in any pms color. |
What
is "Body Copy"?
Body
Copy is the printing that is on the main part of the form
(the body) as opposed to the tab extension. Some customers
use the "body copy" to contain a form for file
entry or a chapter listing for presentation binders. |
What
does "reinforce binding edge mean"?
Most
tabs are drilled or hole-punched to make them easier to
use. When we punch the forms, we generally apply a mylar
coating to the back edge of the sheet to reinforce it and
make it last longer with heavy use. |
What
is the difference between bottom and side tabs?
Bottom
tabs measure 8 1/2 x 11 1/2 while side tabs measure 9 x
11 |
What
does tab "position" mean?
The
placement of each tab in a bank is called it's position.
For example, the 2nd tab in a 5th bank would be in the 2nd
position. |
