Category placards for DVD collections?

Does anyone make placards/category dividers
for DVD collections?

To be more specific....

Heavy plastic dividers that come with letters
to write either STUDIO or GENRE, used to properly
categorize your collection.

I am sure you know what I am talking of -- you
see them in video or music stores all the time.

Would love to get a dozen of these dividers so
I can easily categorize my collection and see
the divides from across the room.

Anyone knows who makes these things?

Thanks in advance!

I just use a laser printer and the heaviest cardstock the printer can accommodate. I like a large tab, so I have enough room to put:

or

(because Lolita and Dr. S are filed with the K-man's other films)

MM Designs International makes plastic dividers that are slightly larger than DVD cases. They come labeled alphabetically or blank with a choice of 96 pre-printed category labels. However, if you use a bookshelf-type storage method, in which the spines face out, this may not be ideal. You probably want something thicker so the labels can be read easily.

One solution would be to buy cheap DVD cases as dividers, and use something like the Dymo Letra Tag label maker with one of the colored label styles so that they'll stand out better. However, this may take up too much precious space.

Brian,

Thanks for this info.

Unfortunately for this method, my DVDs are on
shelves, spine facing out.

I do like the idea about the DVD cases and Dymo
labeler. I will look into that. Thank You.

Ron: I just stumbled across THESE from a place called Bags Unlimited. They are meant to be used in DVD/CD storage boxes...but seem like they would also work on shelves.

Bags Unlimited was just mentioned in the neighboring thread on ThinPaks in this forum.

Mike,

Those are even a better possibility. Thanks!
