1. Make Sure the Adhesive Tab Fits the Exhibit Before Applying It
Exhibit tabs provide a great way to attach legal exhibits without the risk of losing or damaging them in the process of attaching or detaching them. When using sticky tabs, it is crucial to ensure they fit the exhibit before applying them.
This is especially true if the exhibit has a unique shape or size. Measure the stick tab against the exhibit to ensure it is the right size to fit it without slippage or the adhesive not filling enough of the area to provide proper support. If the tab is too large, it can cause tears in the exhibit when removed.
In addition, make sure the adhesive tab is pressed firmly and securely to the exhibit to ensure a strong bond. Doing this will provide reliable support and attachment to your legal exhibit.
2. Check the Page to See if It Is Free From Dust, Dirt, and Grime
Before applying a stick-on tab, ensuring the page is free from dust, dirt, and grime is crucial. This will help ensure that the adhesive tabs can securely adhere to the pages in the document.
Gently run a cloth over the page. Lightly spray the document with compressed air, consider using a document cleaning pad specifically designed to remove dirt, dust, etc., and, if necessary, wipe the page with a damp cloth.
3. Use the Appropriate Tab Size
You must always consider the size when using adhesive tabs for legal exhibits. It’s best to use sticky tabs 1/2″ – 1″ in size for the documents.
Before you begin, correctly line up all the stick on tabs before pressing down to ensure they are secure. If the tabs are too small, they may not provide the necessary grip to secure the legal exhibits.
It’s also essential to ensure the tabs are properly spaced, allowing the documents to be easily viewed. Finally, when pressing down the tabs, do so evenly and firmly to ensure the utmost security.
