Abstract:
A tab system for a folder ( 10 a ), and a method of making same is disclosed. The tab is enlarged to carry more information/indicia. The visual indicia space ( 16 a ), i.e. the viewable space on the front ( 32 a,  36 a ) of the folder which allows viewing of the enlarged tab is achieve without violating the overall size restrictions ( 40 a ) of the file folder. Instead, the front of the folder adjacent to the tab on the back panel, is cut away ( 32 a, 34 a ) to expose a greater portion of the back panel ( 14 a ) and allow an increase in visual indicia space. The remaining portion of the front panel, not adjacent to the tab may also be cut away ( 34 a ) to allow other enlarged tab files, with offset tabs, ( 22 d,  21 a ) to be viewable behind the present file.

Claim (Index 12):
A standard height file folder, with a writable tab having increased visible writable and viewable area when stacked with other like file folders comprising:\n a) a back panel surface having a longitudinal top edge and spaced apart side edges, and including a tab extending upwardly from one of said side edges, b) a front panel surface entirely overlying the back panel, said front panel having a cut out portion adjacent said tab commencing at one of said side edged and extending laterally toward but not up to said other side edge, and thereby forming a top cut out edge and being generally as wide as said tab so that said tab has a portion of its writable surface visible through the cut out portion of said front panel; c) said top edge of said back panel, except in the area of the tab, being lower than the tab and not being substantially higher than said top cut edge of front panel, d) said top edge of said front panel, adjacent said tab being substantially equal in depth to the height said back panel tab extends upwardly above the front panel top edge; so that generally half of the visible portion of the tab is below the top edge of the front panel, thereby providing an enhanced visible writing surface of said tab, without increasing its height beyond standard file folder height so that multiple folders having tabs at another location, will be substantially fully visible when placed against each other.
