We operate both automated machinery as well as
hand fed Scott tabbing equipment.
We have the ability to produce small and large
orders in a quick turn around.
We can do both square or rounded
tabs.
  
Quality:
All of our tab orders get the same quality whether they are for copy or printed jobs.
- When edge reinforcing, we trim the head and foot of the sheet to make
sure there is no extra material that may get jammed in you copy machine.
- We punch 3 holes instead of 3-hole
drilling. This minimizes the chance that the drilled out hole will get caught in your
copy machine.
- We collate with an index slip-sheet. This minimizes the
chance of an extra slip-sheet throwing off the collation order in your copy machine.
We do standard 1/2" round corner tab
extensions.
1/4" and 3/8" tab extensions available.

Tab Stripping:
-
When setting up your tabs, leave a
½" margin on the head and ½" margin on the foot.
-
On an 8.5x11 sheet after stripping
the margins, there is an 8.5 x10 area to work within.
-
Next, draw a line 7/16" from the
face, across the 10" dimension. This leaves you a 10.00" x 7/16" area to
print your tabs.
-
Now divide the 10" by the bank you
are stripping. For example, for a bank of 11, divide 10" by 11
resulting in .909". Thus you have a .909" by 7/16" area to print each tab.
-
Center and print.
-
Remember text or solid bleeds that
fall outside this area will not be cleaned off correctly when the tabs are
die-cut.
Tab Template
Body Copy vs. No Body Copy:
Our high speed tabbing equipment has heated rollers.
In some cases, when tabs with body copy are run through the heated rollers, the
ink bubbles or even gets lifted off the sheet.
Use heat-resistant and wax -free inks
and varnishes when supplying printed tabs to help eliminate this problem.
Porous stocks are optimum for Mylar
jobs because air has the ability to escape into the paper. Uncoated, 110# index
stock is the most commonly used. Coated stocks, along with heavy ink coverage,
can trap air and create bubbles that can distort the readability of the tab
Tabs without body copy have no problems.
We can do tabs with body copy on our equipment that do not have heated rollers; however, the
speeds are slower.

Tab Ink:
The type of ink used and the amount of coverage affect
the ability of the laminate to adhere properly. The laminate is heated and applied
to the sheet. The laminate may not adhere properly if the ink is not wax-free or the
coverage is too heavy. There is a special cold laminate for this application.
Consider this when planning tabs and if you
have any concerns, send us a sample and we will test it. It is better to locate a
problem before rather than after printing a job.
