I was excited to see an updated look & the fact that they are also durable! Most dividers do not last the continual "flipping back & forth" and changing of student names tabs from year to year! I'm looking forward to years of continual use with these dividers. I only wish they had options for pocket(s) on 1 or both sides! It would be great to have ability to store documentation w/o 3 hole punch.
These are easy to use dividers that are colorful. The only complaint I have is that even when you use the templates on the website it seems that the labels print a bit off center but that could either be my issue or the template's issue. The dividers themselves are great!
I'm so disappointed in this product...I could get it to print fine on a regular piece of paper but it won't line up when I went to print it on the actual template. Now I have a ruined template and there are no extra's.
I purchased these dividers because I was sick of the usual paper ones that always tear with the slightest use. They are excellent! They are made of a durable plastic that will not tear, they are affordable and the templates are easy to use to type the labels. Also, there are a lot of spare labels, so you can reuse the dividers over multiple semesters. I would definitely purchase these again and probably wouldn't buy any others.
I love the concept of these dividers. I use many different binders to help stay organized, and the curved-tab design featured in this particular set seemed like a great change from the ordinary side-insert square-tab dividers. The vivid colors are fantastic. And these are certainly more durable than most other divider sets I've used in the past. I used the online design-and-print option to create my labels because the downloadable software from Avery did not include a template for this set, and I did have some trouble with labels printing differently than they appeared online (this actually seemed random, so it wasn't an overall alignment problem). The labels DO appear to stay in place much better than the side-insert square tab variety. Unfortunately, my opinion of the product went downhill from there. As others have mentioned, it was time-consuming to separate the tabs from the sheet after printing. Even though the paper was scored, having to tear along the curved design was a bit tricky. Centering the text on the labels turned out to be a mistake as well, since most of the words were partially blocked by other dividers in the notebook (the back side of the labels are virtually unreadable, so printing on both sides was a complete waste of time). And when actually inserting the tabs into the dividers, I had to go back and trim all the labels with scissors to make them fit completely in the tab. I'll go ahead and use the 3 divider sets I have, but I won't be purchasing any more of these. I'll be keeping my eyes open for a product that mixes visual design with functionality, but these fell short of my expectations.
I love the multi colors, and the quality that the dividers are made of. You can tell it was made right. I also love that you can use the site to print your labels making them look more professional. The only thing is that the labels are hard to get into the tabs all the way without bending.
I saw these on sale, so I decided to try them. Very pretty and unique. However, after downloading the template (because I couldn't find it on the Avery software I have), I printed them off with no problem EXCEPT if you really want to see what the tab says in your binder, you'd have to print the label on a curve at the top of the label. The effect is nice, pretty tabs, hidden labels. Bummer.
