Any good templates for TABBED booklets?

[sabrinaa44596649]

I am wanting to create a booklet that is "tabbed" for the 4 of us in the office for our bios with our names on the tabs. I cannot seem to find a good template for this or really know where to start.

Thank you!

not sure you really need a template. each page after the first one is just 1 inch smaller. you can set that page size in the paster and apply.

what are you confused about?

do you have that booklet? open it and measure each page. measure where the fold is, drop a ruler line there in your layout. than drop ruler lines form the fold to edge of paper to get your margin to whatever you want

want to take photos of the inside of that booklet so we can walk you step by step? helps if you place the ruler along so we can tell you how to set up the document.

Is this booklet one continuous piece of paper that has been folded?

I'd love something like this with a uniform page size but a visual tab at the edge, not to be die cut or anything, just a visual tab.

Printers will have different machinery and different methods of doing this type of printing.

Your best bet is to contact the printers and then ask them for the design template. They'll have this - and the keylines, and the diecuts - and you can make a savings by not having to get special templates and print methods made to order.

These have templates and some very interesting - but if a printer hasn't got the machinery to print it, cut it, fold it, stitch it, etc. then there's additional costs either by longer manual assembly or they'll outsource for the finishing which would be more expensive.

Currious if you ever found something that would work for this? I am looking for the same!

Is the advice in the thread not enough? 

Just to reiterate.

You can set it up yourself in Indesign - but if it might incur extra costs at printing stage due to not suiting their machinery.

Your best bet is to contact the printers and talk to them and ask them if they have something similar work with them on developing the template.

They most likely have a template that would mean it could probably save you in costs.

Thank you. 

Sorry for the inconvience.

No inconvenience I just wanted to know if there was something more specific that was required.

I ended up creating my own. I needed functioning tabs in the PDF version for navigation, and visual tabs in the paper version just to indicate which section you are in.
