Make sure you don't tab the pages. I was told that as long as they can't be removed that I could have them. Unfortunately, they wouldn't have any of that and I was forced to cut mine off, minutes before go time.
That's actually incorrect. You
can have them as long as it:
So, if you have a page cut a sliver (that's the size of the tab - so probably an inch or so) to add the permanent tab, that's actually fine. It's also fine if you cut your A4 sheets down, so that the side
is your tab or cutting corners for a "layered" effect. Colour-coding's good too, provided it follows the rules on the link above.
I did the bottom right one last year and that was absolutely fine. To show you what's allowed visually, see the attached image.
Spoiler
For people who don't have 20-20 vision, the sheets say:
- Top left: Your average sheet of paper
- Top right: The cut corner (+ highlight) for layered effect
- Bottom left: The cutout tab
- Bottom right: The measured cut with permanent sticky tab (The yellow sheet's the sticky tab.)
You probably can't see it, but I've actually ruled lines and cut them, so the page is still A4 when closed.
The sticky tabs I've got here are kind of like labels, but 'fold-able' tab version (see image).
