ABSTRACT:
A labeling system and storage and dispensing device for tab labels, for use with side tab folders for shelf filing systems or with top tab folders for drawer filing systems. The labeling system includes a plurality of tab labels having an adhesive backing. Each label has first and second side regions containing a white alpha-numeric character and a black background separated by a central colored region. The color of the central region is determined by the alpha-numeric character(s) formed on the side regions of the label. Patterns, such as lines or dots, may be combined with the solid colors, so that a given color may be used for more than one character. In further embodiments of the invention, the character(s) on the side regions may be oriented at right angles or at 180.degree. relative to each other. The storage and dispensing device comprises a plurality of pads of labels, arranged in a predetermined array and mounted on a relatively stiff substantially planar support which includes a stand member for mounting the support at an angle with respect to a horizontal surface. The dispenser allows a large number of labels to be stored compactly, and facilitates quick selection by eliminating any need to flip through pages or files, as all characters are visible at one time. The pads are mounted individually, to allow replacement of pads of labels of specific characters as each character is needed.
