*For tabs, deduct 4 sheets per tab from above totals.For example: 5 tabs = 20 sheets, which would be deducted from the above total number of sheets.
For larger binders, you can approximate the number of sheets by calculating from the totals above. For example, a 2" binder can hold up to 400 sheets of 24# bond, and a 1" binder can hold 200 sheets. Therefore, a 3" binder would be needed to hold up to 600 sheets.
