Prelabeled folders, jackets or pockets are an economical alternative to the labor-intensive process of hand labeling as files are created. For filing systems that use color-coded indexing, product can be supplied from the factory with labels applied in sequence. Alphabetic, straight numeric, terminal digit or alpha-numeric indexing can be applied to products according to your specifications. Typed name labels and barcode labels may also be supplied on products.

We will print strip labels to your specifications. We also have the capability to apply the label to the folder of your choice. This is extremely helpful in label conversions. When providing your specifications, it is essential that we receive the correct information for custom order items to ensure that your order is manufactured correctly.

We have the capability to number practically any product in a variety of styles and formats. Numbering can be consecutive (1,2, 3...etc.), regular skip numbered (10, 20, 30...etc.) or irregular skip numbered to fit your specific requirements. Numbers can be positioned on tabs or anywhere else on the product. Horizontal numbering (for top tab) is available in three different type styles. See the illustration at bottom for examples. Vertical numbering (for end tab) is available in two different type styles as shown at left. When ordering vertical type style VR2, specify with or without dash (–). All numbering will be the type size shown. Specify style of numbering and location on product.
