If you want to customize the cover and spine then you can go for a clear view index card binder. You can be as creative as you like while organizing your important files.

If it’s some kind of a pregnancy calendar or journal, of course you want to separate the cards by month or by trimester.
You can also use your index card binder to organize and keep all your recipes. I leave mine in the kitchen and use it all the time. Instead of just simply storing your documents in a folder, you can divide them into sections. You can do this by using index tabs. For recipes, you can subdivide them into appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks.
You can choose among many different index tabs. Types vary based on user needs. Some tabs are designed to be used with copy machines and specific printers so that you can run the whole sheet through the copier or printer. This will allow you to create tabs that look very professional. Others refer to these as copier tabs. Other types of tabs include those for individual or personal use and have printable tab inserts. You can write the labels by hand or you can use the printer for a more uniform and decent look.
Before you begin using your index card binder, take a little time to think how you or others will be able to easily access your information or files. If you’re not sharing your files with anyone though, you just have to make sure that you put your files somewhere accessible or somewhere where you can easily see it.
Thorough organizational choices will make finding needed information much quicker and easier. This is critical if you are using an index card binder to organize information at work. I learned this the hard way when I worked as an executive assistant. It would drive me nuts everytime my boss would ask me to hand him a file. I was new to the company so I thought about organizing everything. Now my life is so much easier! Thanks to the index card binder!
