PSA: A facilities guy at the Denver expo nudged my label maker and it fixed my whole filing mess
I was at a design expo in Denver three weeks ago when a guy running the booth next door saw me fumbling with my label maker and asked why my folder tabs were all crooked. He told me to drop the font size down two points and print my labels on one strip instead of cutting each one out, and my whole file cabinet suddenly looked like somebody who has their life together. But now half my coworkers say pre-made tab labels are faster and I am wasting time making my own. The other half says printed-on-strip labels peel less and you never get mismatched tabs again. I timed it: 40 folders took me 18 minutes the old way and 11 minutes the new way, so I am not going back. Is it worth building your own label system for a shared office where people will just dump stuff in the wrong spot anyway?
