Bank

Binding Edge
The edge of the sheet to be bound.
Body Copy
Printing on the sheet, not including the tab extension.
Collated
Arranging of the tabs in sequential order.
Copier Tabs
Index tabs designed to run through a high-speed copier for customization.
Cut

Extension
The part of the tab that sticks out from the body or sheet.
Mylar™
A synthetic or semisynthetic material used as a coating on the tab extension. The mylar coating provides a reinforcement for the tab extension, creating a more durable product. Mylar is offered in a variety of colors.
Paper Weight
The standard weight of paper used to produce index tabs is 90#. However, heavier weights including 110# and 140# are becoming more popular and are also considered a stocked item.
Position
The position of a single tab within a complete bank of tabs. For example, the first tab in a bank of tabs is considered in the first position.
Set
