Questions & Answers
It's made out of something that looks like cardboard.
They are completely devoid of information. Folding them inside out is another option.
They are, in fact, individual dividers.
My tabs had letters in the alphabet on them. I simply flipped them over and filled in the blank tabs on the backside with my own titles.

My only gripe is that in the set, Mc comes before M. I'd rather not have Mc at all, or be in front of M. Aside from that, the product fulfills its purpose. As advertised, letter-size file separators printed on manila paper.
I customized these for a specific application, and at first glance, they looked great, but I thought the tabs should be laminated or plasticized for the price. We've already seen some tab corners come apart after only a few weeks of use, and replacing them quarterly, which is about how long I think they'll last, is a bit pricey.
I was in desperate need of some file guides, and these were just what I needed. My child's school artwork is organized by year in a file box that I have. Despite the fact that these file guides are pre-formatted, they should be used with caution. I turned them over and scribbled years on the blank tabs, which had been printed with the alphabet. What I was looking for. It's the right size and it's built to last.
The tabs are tall enough to see the different letters through the labels on the file folders. Dividers with a lot of weight to them. I put one set in a filing cabinet that didn't have any hanging folders, and it worked perfectly. The alphabet colored labels above the files were clearly visible to me. I put the divider inside the hanging folder in the other filing cabinet where I have green hanging folders so that it would stand up above the files in the hanging folders, and it worked perfectly. The tabs are just the right height.
I was unable to locate it in any local stores. In my cabinent, it works well.
I WILL PLACE ANOTHER ORDER. SMEAD IS A FANTASTIC PRODUCT.
The Smead Pressboard Guides provided an immediate solution to a filing project, arriving in mint condition and being immediately arranged among the myriad of mass files. Order not only reigned supreme, but it also appeared to be quite attractive. I would not hesitate to buy this item again in the future if I needed to file something.
Legal-sized index tabs for file cabinets are extremely hard to come by. Either letter size or hanging files are used by most people. I may convert to hanging files in the future, but until then, I'll continue to order my office supplies from Amazon when they're not available locally. as well as brick-and-mortar establishments These are extremely durable and should last for quite some time.
