Tagging pages into a file, the perfect way

Here we have a file that needs the pages tagging

Measure the thickness of the file

to check if it needs to be split

This file doesn’t

Using this table, and the measured file thickness

select the correct length tag

If a tag is too long, the pages will be too loose

and if the tag is too short,
the pages will not be easily accessible

Pass the tag through the back of the folder,

and then pass the tag through all of the pages

Once all of the pages have been tagged,

you should have an excess length of tag.

This will allow all of the pages to be easily turned

and accessed by the reader
