Oxford Poly Index Card Guide Set, 3 x 5 Inches, A-Z, 1/5 Inch Cut Tabs, Assorted Colors, 25 per Set (73153)

Nice and durable material. Bold colors. Ready to use right out of the package. It would have worked great except I clicked the wrong size. They are worth the asking price.

Maybe it's my computer's monitor, maybe it was my expectations...but for some reason the cards that I received were nowhere near as bright and colorful as the cards shown. Actually, the colors are a bit dull, and lack personality, but they do what they are intended to do, and they seem to be a nice enough quality that they will continue to do their job for many many years. With that said, I still give these cards a 5 star rating because they are sturdy plastic standard A B C divider cards, and that is what I wanted. If the tabs start to break off, I will let you know.I am using these in my recipe card file to replace 35 year old manila card stock dividers that had lost their will to live many, many years ago.While I never had too much trouble finding "Aunt Clara's Easter Cake" recipe, it really is nice to be able to actually see the "E" when I go looking for "Edith Guise's Ginger Cookie", the "G" for my "Good and Creamy Icing" or the "M" for "Mejun's Favorite Squid".My filing system may be a bit unconventional, but I know what I am looking for when I haul out my recipe card box, and now, thanks to these sturdy little Oxford Poly A - Z, 3' x 5' Card Guides, I can now easily find exactly what I am looking for. Now, all I have to do is start re-copying some of my ancient recipes onto new and improved cards...But that is another review...

I bought 2 sets of these bc I wanted 31 dividers, I then used my Dymo and numbered them so I could make dividers for days of the month. These are good quality and I have extras in case I need to add more sections.

Oxford, please do not stop making these! Added Recommendation: Improve your index card storage boxes by integrating bright colors, heavy duty plastic, strong hinges, and a strong clasp to keep contents secure. This green one was perfect, but there isn’t any way to know it’s brand, and haven’t seen any like it ever since.Pros:1. Heavy duty poly material will not rip under frequent use2. Perfect size for index card boxes3. Assorted colors to find the tab you need quickly and efficientlyCons1. None

It is IMPOSSIBLE to find these things even in office supply stores like Office Max or Staples! I searched so many stores - brick and mortar as well as online - before finally finding them here on Amazon. They are made of flexible plastic, thick enough to stand up to a lot of use and much more durable than the paper kind with the plastic laminated tabs. The letters are printed in silver on the tabs, and in low light it's kind of hard to read them unless the tab is tilted in a way to catch the light. If the letters had been printed in white or in a more light reflective silver paint, I think that would have been better for readability. I like the different colors, which are a bit darker in person. Don't order these if you need them to fit into a ringed folder or roladex or card file that has rings or raised tracks to put the cards on. These cards are solid across the bottom, though you could use a hole punch on them one at a time if need be. They fit perfectly into a 3"x5" card box, which is where I am using them separate coupons. Though more expensive than the paper kind, the durability is well worth it.

Good to organize larger index cards

This product exceeded my expectations. The cards are pretty and strong. And, contrary to the negative reviews, all of the letters (plus Mc) are there.

As a teacher, I crave organization. I bought these folders to use with my rolling laptop/teacher bag, and they are perfect. There are six colors (3 of each color), and I have five classes, so I am able to color code my classes and then have the 6th set for general school info (advisory group, staff info, etc). For classes, I use on for “to be graded,” one for “to be returned,” and one to keep up with papers for students who were absent and need to make up an assignment. I labeled them with my labelmaker, and I have not had a single problem. They are in and out of my bag daily (if not several times a day), and they look just as good as when they were new.
