Hi Steven
I haven't seen the longer ones either. Depending on the number of reports
you have to do, you might consider separate fronts and backs and then use
binding screws. They come in a variety of lengths and do an excellent job of
holding those larger stacks of papers. I find the backs of the screws can
scratch the desktop, so a foldback cardstock back as per the report covers
is an idea. If you need a fair number, try a local bindery ... they do lots
of hand work like that and may have some trade alternatives that you don't
run into at Staples.

All well and good... except at the stores (Staples, Office Depot), the
longest tabs I can find are 1/2 inch. I am looking for tabs that are at
least 3/4 inch, or possibly one inch. The actual brand of the product I
have is Oxford Deluxe Clear Front Report Covers (though again, they are
really binders, not just covers), and the parent company is Esselte. A
visit to their Web site does not reveal any means to order anything
directly, nor does it indicate the details of their product line.
I am seeking the same product, or similar product from another company, but
with the longer tabs (3/4 or one inch). Any leads (i.e., a specific Web
page, or brand and specific product number) would be very much appreciated.
