Numbering systems and indexing: find any card in seconds

10/4/2025

Design your placeholders

Open the designer and start a sheet

Design these placeholders

An organised binder is one you can navigate without thinking. Combine official numbering with simple dividers and index pages for a system you won’t outgrow.

Stick to official numbering

Placeholders make gaps obvious. Use our generator’s explicit list/range tools to build sections rapidly.

Dividers and tabs

Use slim tabs per block of 50 cards or per type/rarity if that’s how you think. Keep tabs consistent across binders.

Printable index

Add a first‑page index: set title, page count, and ranges per page. We’ll be adding index page generation soon to automate this.
