Go Green--choose recycled paper dividers Imagine how much paper is wasted every year in the US. Your company has the opportunity to make a difference by ordering recycled paper office supplies. Environmentally-friendly notebook dividers are made of recycled card stock, so they're just as durable as other dividers for file cabinets.

I recommend:  BlumbergExcelsior, Inc. sells notebook dividers and file cabinet dividers that are made of 20% post consumer waste.

Customize document dividers for a professional and organized outcome Custom tabs for paper dividers come in clear or a variety of colors, so they match or coordinate with any binder specification. Affix to any sort of paper divider or notebook divider system you have. They even work as labels on file cabinet dividers.

I recommend:  Avery Dennison Corporation sells a kit that allows you to make your own clear paper dividers.

Create separate office functions with room dividers Room dividers come in a variety of colors and styles. Most are made of three or four folds, held together by hinges. They stand up in a zigzag pattern, somewhat like an accordion. They don't achieve complete room separation like a wall does, but they provide some privacy between employees' desks or sections of the office.

I recommend:  RoomDividerStore sells room dividers that are made with metal or wood frames and covered with canvas or plexiglass screens. Design your own room divider at The Sliding Door Company. Choose your framing material, glass, design, features, quality and measurements for a unique look.
