Dividers in Binders & Accessories

Binder dividers typically come in a variety of materials, each suited for different needs:

• Paper: Lightweight and often writable, ideal for simple organization.
• Plastic: Durable and resistant to tearing, great for frequent use.
• Polypropylene or Polyethylene: Flexible and water-resistant, offering extra protection.
• Acrylic: Sturdy and clear, often used for a modern look.

Choosing the right material depends on how often you use the dividers and the level of durability you need.

• Fewer tabs (5-8): Best for broad categories or smaller projects.
• Moderate tabs (10-12): Ideal for standard binders with multiple sections.
• Many tabs (24 or more): Useful for detailed organization or large volumes of information.

Consider your binder size and the complexity of your filing system to find the best fit.
