Keeping a paper trail is straightforward with our superb No Carbon Required (NCR) printed pads.
Popular as invoice pads, business forms and receipt pads No Carbon Required (NCR) Pads are perfect for recording information and retaining records.
Most commonly used as order forms, sales/cash receipts, credit/hire agreements, accident forms, purchase orders, quotations, job sheets, delivery notes or invoices, our NCR Pads are available in A4 or A5 size.
Each set of three sheets is individually numbered and glued to a backboard; when written on, the text is copied from the top sheet to the two sheets below.
No Carbon Required (NCR) Pads are also known as Duplicate & Triplicate forms, copy information from the top sheet onto the sheets below.
Traditionally carbon sheets were used to replicate the information on the top sheet. Expensive and difficult to use, carbon was replaced with a low-cost specialist material that easily enables the pressure from writing on the sheets to duplicate on one, two or three sheets.
This achieved by a micro-encapsulated dye that is applied to the reverse of the top sheet reacting with a clay coating on the opposite sheet when the pressure from a pen is applied.
Printed with a white top sheet and a choice of blue, pink, green or yellow middle sheets, we offer 2-part, 3-part and 4-part sets which can be loose, glued pads or perforated books.
The acronym NCR stands for No Carbon Required and it refers to a paper that has been treated to produce instant copies of the original.
Most common pads and books include 50 sets as standard, glued along the short edge.
Our NCR Pads are available in full colour printing and with several finishing options including separating back boards to ensure content is only duplicated to the required layers. For easy extraction, a perforation before the glued headers can also be added to the Pads.
Sequential numbering is also available to enhance the security and tracking of the data sheets.
NCR Pads are available in several popular sizes including A5, A4, and DL.
Our in-house Graphic Design team works with our clients to ensure an attractive, intuitive and effective design for our NCR Pads. Since they are often used to demonstrate an organisation's transparency, they are often customer-facing, so it is important they portray the customer brand professionally.
