Looking for Better Tabs for Hanging Folders – Post-it Hanging Folder Filing Tabs

I’ve never been too thrilled with the plastic filing tabs that come with hanging file folders, and thats putting it lightly.  I find them difficult to use because you have to tear the tiny perforated strips to size, write on them, and insert them into their tiny plastic sleeves.  Once you clear all of those hurdles, you are limited to only being able to slide them into the fixed spaced slots on the edge of your folder.  Luckily, 3M has a solution with their Post-it Filing Tabs that are also re-positionable.

These re-positionable filing tabs are 2″ wide and come in packages of 24.  In addition to the version I’ve got here, they do also come in colors for an additional way to help organize your folders.  Just like their plastic (and annoying) counterparts, they have that slightly angled top too, which makes it easier to read them from above.  Besides being much more convenient and easier to use, I think they are probably a bit more earth friendly since they are made up with much less plastic.

The Package to Look For - Post it Filing Tabs

I think traditional folder tabs have been such a sore spot for me for such a long time, that I can’t get over the simplicity of these, and how they address such an annoying problem.  I can’t imagine a day from today on where I don’t have at least one package of Post-it Filing Tabs on hand.

    I’ve been using the colored ones for awhile now and they are great. Much better then what normally comes with hanging folders like you said.

    I particularly like that they are small and do not take up a lot of space unlike the plastic and perforated paper that comes with the hanging folders.

    I particularly like the size and that they are easy to store unlike all the loose plastic and perforated paper that comes with the hanging folders.

    I love these post-it filling tabs. I use them frequently. Certainly better than the regular ones.
