The cards are about the size of index cards and i punched a hole in a corner and put them on rings. I have a ring for flannel and one for cotton and one for blends and polys. On the cards there was a line that I use to tell where the fabric is. I then took bins and labeled them like "cotton 1" through 5 in my case and poly 1 through as many as I end up with. I can then put on the card which box the fabric is in. There is a place to put the width and length on the card too. I just tested it out when my DIL need fabric. we went through the cards and looked at the samples and she found what she thought she could use then I went to the box and pulled out the fabric. I can take these cards to the fabric shop and match if I need to. I can email you a copy of the template I use for the cards. I print them on card stock. I can send pictures of how I have my boxes too if you want.
