Abstract
A universal indexing device is shown that is flexible in use to accommodate multiple storage configurations including, but not limited to, vertical and horizontal storage. The indexing device includes a number of copies of an indexing symbol to accommodate a number of viewer angles. The indexing symbols are further oriented for convenient comprehension by the user. The flexible indexing device can be manufactured simply, out of a single piece of starting material and one product can be used to replace the multiple products that previously would have been required for multiple storage configurations.
