Unleashing the Potential of Mylar Tabs
Beyond Vinyl Binders: Mylar in Hardcover
While Mylar Tabs are often associated with ring vinyl binders, we bring this versatile and functional element to the world of hardback, case bound books. Experience the convenience of Mylar Tabs in a format that exudes sophistication and durability.
A Nostalgic Touch for Every Generation
Mylar tabs hold a nostalgic charm for those who grew up with them in their office spaces. Now, we offer a modern twist by incorporating mylar tabs into hardback case bound books. It’s a fusion of tradition and innovation, providing a unique organizational solution.
Precision in Design and Functionality
Unlike traditional hardback case bound books that are Smyth sewn, our approach involves perfect binding as single sheets with extended mylar tabs. This allows for a seamless integration of tabs that stick out from the book’s face, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Customization Beyond Standards
Choose from our standard 18 mylar tab colors or venture into custom hues that match your brand or theme. If the mylar doesn’t come in the exact shade you desire, we employ a unique printing technique with reverse copy and clear mylar to achieve your preferred color. Moreover, our mylar tabs can be shaped differently – from square cuts to half circles or concaved shapes, setting us apart from the competition.

Why use Mylar tabs?
Why, you ask, is Norm talking about Mylar tabs? Aren’t they old school? In with buggy whips and VHS?
No! A picture is really worth a thousand words!
The use of Mylar tabs has probably dropped 95% in the past few years. Why? Simply because of the internet—there’s less paper printing and because of that, a decreased need for tabs.
So, is there anything new in Mylar tabs? For sure. Look at the shapes we can make below.
Mylar tabs aren’t just your A-Z or 1-50 anymore. Historically, Mylar tabs always had two rounded shoulders and always the same radius for each tab.
Now, we produce different shapes of tabs and many variations.
Features
- 18 colours of actual Mylar but more colours are possible by printing the tab area
- 4 standard widths for normal, double-shouldered tabs: 1/4”; 3/8”; 1/2”; and 5/8”

Benefits

Factors to consider

- Round-hole drilling should be done when the tabs are collated into a set of sheets.

While the use of Mylar tabs has declined but there is still a place for them. Designers simply don’t promote them because out-of-sight means out-of-mind!
