Divider tabs ESSELTE Plastic indexes 225 x 297 mm, 1 pc

ESSELTE Plastic indexes 225 x 297 mm are single-sheet divider tabs designed for organizing documents in binders, folders and ring files. Made of durable plastic, the index provides a clean margin for writing or affixing labels and resists tearing and moisture better than paper alternatives. Supplied as one piece per pack, this A4-sized divider tab is suitable for separating sections, marking reference points and protecting frequently handled pages.

Advantages

The plastic construction ensures longer life under repeated use and handling, while the standard 225 x 297 mm size fits most A4 ring files and folders with a small margin for ease of turning pages. Its smooth surface accepts most pens and adhesive labels, and the single-sheet format allows straightforward insertion and removal without bulk. The neutral design and grey colour work in professional, school or archival environments.

Suitable for

• Organising documents in A4 binders and ring files
• Creating section dividers in folders and project files
• Use in offices, schools and archives where durable separators are required
• Temporary or long-term marking of frequently accessed documents

When it may not be suitable

This product is a single-sheet plastic index supplied as one piece per pack; it may not be suitable when multiple indexed tabs or a complete set of numbered or coloured dividers are required. It is not perforated or pre-punched, so it will not attach directly to files that require punched holes unless used with a compatible punched pocket or manually adjusted.

Key specifications

• Material: durable plastic (polypropylene-like)
• Dimensions: 225 x 297 mm (approx. A4)
• Pack quantity: 1 piece
• Colour: grey (neutral)
• Surface: smooth, suitable for handwriting and adhesive labels

How to use

Insert the plastic index into the binder or folder at the desired location to separate sections or protect specific pages. Write directly on the surface with compatible pens or attach adhesive labels to identify sections. If your binder requires punched holes, place the index inside a punched protector or use a hole punch to create matching holes, taking care to align accurately to avoid damaging the index or documents.

What to consider before purchase

• Quantity per pack (single piece) — purchase multiple packs if several dividers are needed
• Confirm compatibility with your binder or folder format (holes or pocket use may be required)
• Colour and labelling needs — single neutral colour may not be ideal when colour-coding is required
• Intended frequency of use — plastic offers greater durability than paper for frequent handling

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a permanent or suitable marker recommended for plastic surfaces, test label adhesives on a spare corner before applying, and store flat to prevent warping. When combining with punched filing systems, use a protective punched pocket to extend the life of the index and avoid repeated hole stress.
