Redi-Tag20205 Removable Page Flags, Four Assorted Colors, 900 per Color (Pack of 3600)

I use color-coded flags for marking texts in academic research, and I would highly recommend the Redi-Tags for that purpose, especially over Post-It flags, on which I pissed away far too much beer money throughout college and grad school. Clearly there are all sorts of uses for these things, but at least for anyone who uses tons of indicator flags for marking articles, books, magazines etc. (as opposed to, say, marking signature lines on important documents etc.), I think Redi-Tags are the way to go. Here are some pros and cons for Post-It Flags versus Redi-Tags from my perspective:POST-IT FLAG PROS: (a) they're just big enough to write on, and they're easier to peel and place than the Redi-Tags (which are about the size of a large postage stamp if you cut it into 4-5 strips); (b) the Post-It flags are made of slightly thicker material and have a write-able matte surface; (c) part of the Post-It flag is clear so that the colored portion doesn't obstruct the text; (d) Post-It flags have much better adhesive--as everyone knows, 3M's Post-It adhesive is sticky enough that the note or the flag can be lifted and replaced many times but will neither leave residue nor damage the surface of the paper.POST-IT FLAG CONS: (a) a bit too large for a lot of texts, and a bit too high-quality if you use a ton of them simply for marking reading texts; (b) they're ridiculously expensive, like $5 or $6 for 125 flags if you buy them at an office supply store (there are some better deals online, but even so, they're still very pricey); (c) it's tough to find single colors (they often come in those five-packs, and since I happen to use mostly red, blue, and yellow, I end up having to pay for a ton of green and orange ones that I'll never use.REDI-TAG PROS: (a) they're small (1" x 3/16"), so they don't take up an inordinate amount of page space; (b) more portable than the overdone Post-It flags with their overdone dispensers--each Redi-Tag color comes in a little booklet of sticker sheets, so you can just tear off a sheet and it can double as a bookmark; (c) if you're not looking for an assortment of colors, they sell Redi-Tags in single-color packs  Redi-Tag(R) Solid Indicator Flags, Assorted, Pack Of 240 ; (c) Redi-Tags are cheap! They're a good deal even with the smaller 240-packs. And of course, if you're looking for an endless supply of little flags in an assortment of colors, this bulk deal is the way to go.REDI-TAG CONS: (a) again, they're small (1" x 3/16"), which means they're more difficult to peel and place, and too small to write anything on (not that they're intended for that); (b) they're colored solid all the way across the flag, so if you're marking a text that has narrow margins, you end up having to decide whether to cover some of the text--actually, they're slightly translucent, so you can kind of still read the text underneath--or let the flag extend too far off the page, where it will likely get creased or dislodged; (c) the adhesive, while effective, can't really compete with that perfectly balanced 3M Post-It adhesive. Even so, I've never had a problem where the Redi-Tags weren't sticky enough. They stay put just fine, and, like the Post-It flags you can remove them long after you've stuck them to the page. However, with softer paper the RediTags can, on occasion, lift a piece of the surface off the page if you aren't careful when re-positioning them. It's basically a non-issue if you're the slightest bit careful, and I don't think I've had much of an issue with this on normal copy/printer paper, but it will still happen every once in a while depending on the type of paper.So, all in all, maybe think twice before covering your first edition of Don Quixote with Redi-Tags. But if you're looking for some well made, reasonably priced little flags to mark up your campus bookstore copy of Don Quixote, it's like the other reviewer said: you get a few thousand of these things for the price of a few hundred Post-It flags. And there you have it. 750 words on ...indicator tags.

These work well. We use them in our office for review comments. Each reviewer uses a different color. We try to reuse them. They are very sticky which is great for reuse but they sometimes tear the paper on removal. If you twist as you pull them off you can be mostly successful in a clean removal. They are pretty skinny. They come on sheets of paper and do no extend off the paper. So, it can be frustrating to get them off sometimes. Its not a quick grab and stick. You have to bend the backing to be able to grab one.

The strip is a bit small but considering the price, I don't have anything to complain. The only problem I find is that the glue/adhesives on the strip is a little too strong. When I try to remove it, the strip also tears away the surface of the paper. It is not a huge no-no to me but the fact that the strip might damage the paper, for some users, might be a big No-No.

Great Product. Unfair in my first review since I did not recieve. Product... not sellers problem. Was recieved and happy to do business wth the vendor again as long as product available. TY.

A shade too small and a bit too sticky but far cheaper than the larger flags available. For inveterate text flaggers a must have

I presume that anyone bothering to read this review on Amazon is a book reader. If so, you have found the ideal flags for marking pages in your book! Small and unobtrusive and with just the right amount of "stickiness," these flags can be reused many times.

I have used Redirect-tags for report reviews for over 2 decades. They never disappoint. Always a good value through Amazon.

I used these in a federal office several years ago and loved them. They seem to tear the paper now, definitely a changed product, not at all 'removable'.
