something new and interesting.\u00a0 In 2011, one of the things discovered were the <a href=\"http:\/\/thepencilgrip.com\/dyn_prodlist.php?k=394880\" target=\"_blank\">Filertek Dry Erase Hanging File Tabs<\/a>.\u00a0 Immediately I was fascinated with these, yet some products do not always stand up to their appearance.\u00a0 These hanging file tabs have \u2013 they are exactly what they seem.<\/p>\n<p>What strikes me most about these hanging file tabs is the complete ease of use.\u00a0 They snap onto the top of all hanging files that I have tried \u2013 from the standard thick paper hanging folders to the newer plastic ones, which tend to be a bit thicker than the paper ones.\u00a0 Since they snap on so easily, they\u2019re easy to attach and dis-attach, which isn\u2019t always the case with the usual plastic tabs for hanging files.<\/p>\n<p>The dry erase feature works beautifully \u2013 the ink adheres precisely to the dry erase surface of the tab.\u00a0 This is in stark contrast to the similar Peter Walsh\u2019s product.\u00a0 Since the tab has a built in cover, it\u2019s safe from being smudged off.\u00a0 One of the warnings I was told about was how if it sits for a long time with your label, you\u2019d need to moisten the label to erase it (not unexpected since it\u2019s dry erase).\u00a0 Whether you purchase the 12 or the 50 pack of tabs, they include a dry erase pen to use with your file tabs.<\/p>\n<p>From what I can tell, these file tabs will last you for your lifetime \u2013 they are sturdy and since they are dry erase, you can reuse them indefinitely.\u00a0 There\u2019s no need to worry about finding (or making) those paper strips to label in order to go inside the plastic file tabs.\u00a0 Even the snap cover appears to be quite durable yet not difficult to work with.<\/p>\n<p>They come in a variety or colors \u2013 you can choose the clear option or you can get assorted colors (4 colors and includes some clear).\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s nice to have some color choices while at other times you might not want the distraction of colors.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of possible drawbacks, though I do see these as quite minimal.\u00a0 First, they stand taller on the hanging files than typical plastic file tabs.\u00a0 This could easily be something that\u2019s an improvement since it makes them more visible.\u00a0 In my experience, file drawers and most places you would attach hanging file tabs are not short on space.\u00a0 This means that the added height of these would be unlikely to cause any difficulty.\u00a0 Second, if you didn\u2019t want to write on the tabs, but rather wanted to insert paper labels inside the snap cover \u2013 the paper slides out.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t explore this aspect much to test using thicker paper or anything since with the dry erase feature, I don\u2019t see a point of trying to use paper.<\/p>\n<p>The Filertek Dry Erase Hanging File Tabs are a wonderful alternative to the standard hanging file tabs.\u00a0 They\u2019re easier to use and are indefinitely reusable.\u00a0 They come completely ready for you to use them \u2013 no need to worry about having a dry erase pen on hand, it\u2019s included.\u00a0 There are some choices, yet not too many \u2013 with size and color.\u00a0 If you need or want an alternative to the typical file tabs \u2013 these are definitely worth considering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standard plastic hanging file tabs are common, yet here\u2019s an alternative \u2013 and definitely worth considering.
