My apologies, this is at the risk of sounding repetitive, but I must ask this question as I put my full documents package to Buffalo together: What is the best way to do this?
I found conflicting opinions on the forum.

Buffalo's helpful hints section says:
"Use no binders, page protectors, report covers, etc; Avoid excessive use of paper clips. If the application has numerous supporting documents, please use an elastic band. Do not submit documents in separate envelopes."

Do I use dividers and tabs to separate documents by type: education / experience etc?

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Hi, Using staples can spoil the documents while removing any pages. You can organise and arrange in any method which should be safe, secured and easy for review by the visa section officials. That is all.

Why would you ignore the direct advice of the visa office?

i wud put in paper clips when absolutely necesary. no staples (except for bank statements). one elastic band to keep all the entire package together....

i think some of us pay lot of attention of separating the doc based on categories. well, if we arrange them in the order advised by the visa office - they will find it. why worrying... they know what to llok for and where to find it if you order them correctly.

I did as the visa office said and avoided using excess paper clips. I put the paperwork in order and got a large rubber band to hold it all together.
