Abstract An elongated strip of sheet material is adapted to be attached along the bottom edge of a business card to convert the card to an index card suitable for filing in a card file, such as a rolodex, without having to punch holes in the business card. The elongated strip of sheet material has predetermined openings along one edge for attachment to a card file and an adhesive coating along the opposite edge thereof for attachment to the business card. A strip of adhesive covering material covers the adhesive.
