Why Choose Smead ColorBar Labels?

Smead ColorBar Labels are a practical solution for offices that rely on end tab shelf filing. Instead of handwriting tabs or mixing label styles, ColorBar refill packs let you create uniform labels that are easier to read, easier to sort, and easier to maintain over time. They are especially useful in medical, legal, government, insurance, and records management environments where speed and consistency matter.

One of the biggest advantages of the ColorBar system is flexibility. You can print labels on demand as files are added, updated, or reorganized. This helps reduce waste, keeps your filing system current, and gives you more control over how records are identified. The color bar format also helps make high-volume filing systems easier to scan at a glance.

Smead offers options for both major printer types. ColorBar Laser labels are made for laser printing, while WaterGuard labels are intended for inkjet printers where moisture resistance during printing is important. Choosing the right label stock for your printer helps produce cleaner results and improves day-to-day efficiency when labeling folders in volume.

If you need something beyond standard blank refill packs, Filing.com can also help with custom printed strip labels. That gives you the option to outsource label production when you want a finished, ready-to-apply solution without printing in-house.
