Numeric '3' Side Tab Colour Coding Labels, 500 Per Roll

A roll of 500 dark orange numeric '3' side tab colour coding labels at 25 x 38mm, on polyester with a permanent adhesive, supplied on a roll in a dispenser box. 3 is one of the ten digit codes Avery makes for number based lateral filing.

Applied to the side tab of a lateral file, the digit reads from the drawer face with the file still in place. Avery gives each of the ten digits its own colour, so a file number becomes a sequence of colours on the shelf rather than something that has to be read one character at a time.

That is what makes a numeric system worth colour coding. Transposed digits are the most common filing error, and a file sitting in the wrong place shows up as a break in the colour sequence from across the room, before anyone pulls it out to check the number. No two digits share a colour, so there is no pair to confuse.

Dark Orange is the colour Avery assigns to the digit 3, and it holds that colour across the side tab and top tab formats, so a file coded on both edges matches.

The facestock is polyester with a permanent adhesive, which stands up to the handling a working file takes and then an archive. The same digit is also available as a pack of 180 under Avery code 43343, a 25 x 42mm pack of 240 under Avery code 44531 and a top tab pack of 150 under Avery code 44203. It sits in our Avery side tab filing label range, alongside the wider Avery lateral filing label selection, our lateral filing label category and the full label supplies range.

FAQs

Yes. This is Avery's numeric '3' side tab code in the 25 x 38mm format, 500 to a roll, listed under Avery code 43243. Every file position taking a 3 uses this label.
Dark Orange. Avery gives each of the ten digits its own colour, so unlike the alphabetical range there is no pair of codes sharing a shade. Dark Orange means 3 and nothing else.
500 labels, each 25 x 38mm. They come as a roll in a dispenser box, so the box sits on the bench and feeds labels one at a time during a filing run.
This is the roll of 500 in a dispenser box, which suits a high volume filing run. The alternatives for this digit are a pack of 180 (Avery 43343), a 25 x 42mm pack of 240 (Avery 44531), a top tab pack of 150 (Avery 44203).
Because a number becomes a colour sequence. Transposed digits are the most common filing error, and a misfiled number breaks the colour pattern of the run, which is visible from across a records room without pulling the file to read it.
On the side edge of the file, so the digit reads from the drawer face with the file still in place. That is what lets a run of files be scanned, pulled or refiled without opening a single folder.
Not cleanly. The facestock is polyester and the adhesive is permanent, which is what you want on a file that will be handled for years. Polyester also stands up to that handling far better than paper.
Yes. We carry the full set of digits 0 to 9 in this format, and the same digits as a pack of 180 (Avery 43343), a 25 x 42mm pack of 240 (Avery 44531), a top tab pack of 150 (Avery 44203).
Yes. The digit codes are the same 25 x 38mm format as Avery's A to Z alphabetical codes and its year codes, so a file can carry a letter, a number and a year together.
