I am waist deep in a massive organizational effort here at world headquarters. I just got another pack of 10 short boxes off of Amazon and finally think I'm ready for a big push. The biggest issue is of course finding and collecting all the different issues of each title. In the past I've invested in some of the high grade PVC comic dividers, but they are expensive. I've also been recycling my old backing boards to make dividers, but I've run out. So what's a frugal collector to do? For many years I've been experimenting with various low cost options. So far one of the cheapest I've found is using Manila file folders. I bought this box of 150 file folders at Costco years ago for under $10.
Using one of my better PVC dividers as a guide I found a quick and easy way to fold the file folders in the to size I need.A little packing tape on the fold and bottom and you have a fairly stout divider.
Then I print labels out using a 20 point size font.
Another small piece of packing tape to affix the label and tada!
While maybe not the most appealing dividers, they are cheap and do the trick.
