When Malaysian helicopter service company Awan Inspirasi needed an emergency checklist printed, Aerobind was there with solutions. We knew they needed a checklist that would hold up to a high use simulator environment, so after working on a proof in cardstock, we went to an all synthetic paper stock. This paper is heavy enough to stand up to high use, and since it’s no tear, they’ll never need to worry about replacing ripped pages. We were excited to produce this checklist and support Awan Inspirasi’s commitment to safety, quality, and customer satisfaction.

The checklist features thick synthetic stock with tab extensions cut out of the same material; no coating necessary. Full color pages look stunning and each page is easily readable and navigable.

Our quick estimating and proofing process makes it easy to make changes to the project and get them approved in no time. We can turn printing jobs in as little as a week’s time after a physical proof is approved.

Custom Tab Sets to Your Specifications

We try to provide as many divider tab sets for as many applications as we can, but we know that your manuals aren’t one size fits all.

Aerobind can print any tab set you need on card stock or tear-resistant synthetic paper. You can request a custom quote and receive a cost estimate free of charge. We will follow up with your quote request or questions and work with you to make sure you get a tab set that has all the sections you need in the perfect size and hole pattern.

For mylar coated card stock tabs, we have no minimum order except a one-time art setup fee. Synthetic tabs are available at a minimum order quantity of 25 sets.

Boeing’s military tanker division offers customers the option of custom QRH tab sets delivered with the aircraft. On two occasions, they needed a brand new tab set developed, so they contacted Aerobind to develop it and provide on-demand delivery. We already produce stock tab sets modeled after Boeing QRH tab sets, so it was easy to customize our 737 tab set to accommodate the new tabs. In each case, the new set was approved and quickly printed and delivered to the end user.

Modifying an existing set was the best way to produce these tabs for Boeing, but sometimes you need a brand new set from the ground up. If that’s the case, you can email us for a no obligation custom quote.

Eagle Air contacted us to print a run of custom checklists for their fleet. With the print run finished, they wanted a way to highlight their company logo on the front page while still using a protective cover.

We worked with them to create a new red checklist cover with a die cut window built in so they could highlight their logo and match their company color. At the time, we didn’t have any colored covers in stock, so we manufactured a new product from the ground up to meet their needs.

Since then, we decided to make the red covers a stock item, and also introduced blue window covers. Let us help you make your checklists stand out with a customized product.
