Frequently Asked Questions

NCR sets are loose individual carbonless form sets glued at the top — ideal for businesses that file or distribute completed sets individually. NCR pads contain 50 sets per pad with a cardboard backing for on-the-go use. NCR books have a taped spine and cover for a more formal, bound appearance. See our NCR pads and NCR books to compare all three options.

The number of parts determines how many copies are produced per set. A 2-part (duplicate) produces a white original and a pink copy. A 3-part (triplicate) produces white, yellow and pink copies. A 4-part (quadruplicate) produces white, blue, yellow and pink copies. Choose based on how many copies you need to distribute — for example, one for the customer, one for your records and one for your accounts department.

Yes — NCR sets can be glued on either the short or long edge depending on your form layout and preference. Specify your preferred binding edge when ordering online or contact us if you are unsure which suits your design.

Sequential numbering is particularly useful for invoice sets and delivery note sets where tracking individual document numbers is important.

If you need a portable, on-the-go solution with a firm writing surface, choose our NCR pads with 50 sets per pad and a cardboard backing.
