Smead BCCRN Bar-Style Color-Coded Numeric Label 2 - Durable File Tabs

In this review the Smead BCCRN bar-style numeric label roll, number 2, is judged as a simple but effective tool for speeding file retrieval and reducing misfiles. It is best for offices or home file systems that use bar-style end tabs or manila classification folders and need consistent, visible numbering. The single biggest reason to buy is the clear laminate protection that keeps the colored bar and printed number legible after frequent handling, so organized systems stay clear and scannable over time.

Key Features

• Durable protection: A clear laminate covers each label to keep the color bar and printed number bright through repeated handling.
• Easy dispensing: Labels come on a roll inside a dispensing box so users can peel and apply one-handed without fumbling loose sheets.
• Color coded design: The wraparound solid color bar with a colored number on white makes it easy to spot and read tabs at a glance.
• Compatible fit: Designed to work with end tab systems that use the bar-style format and compatible with TAB Products 1282 series labels.
• Generous quantity: Each roll contains 500 labels, providing long service for medium to large filing jobs.

Who It's For

The Smead numeric labels are ideal for administrative staff, record rooms, and home offices that rely on physical end-tab or bar-style file organization and need labels that stay readable after frequent handling. The product works well when users want a consistent color system and a lot of labels in one convenient roll.

Those who need waterproof outdoor labeling, custom sizes beyond 1-1/4 in x 1 in, or adhesive guaranteed for extreme surfaces should look elsewhere; adhesion has mixed feedback and the label is intended for standard file folders and similar office substrates.
