Carbonless Forms
Frequently asked questions in this categoryYes. While it began as a brand name, the term is now commonly used to describe carbonless business forms. NCR can therefore stand for “No Carbon Required.”
Our carbonless (NCR) forms are available in a variety of paper sequences. Common combinations include White/Canary, White/Canary/Pink, and White/Canary/Pink/Goldenrod for 2-part through 4-part forms. Depending on the product, additional paper color combinations are also available. Different colored copies make it easy to distribute forms to customers, accounting, shipping, and internal departments.
Carbonless forms (also called NCR forms) create multiple copies as you write without using carbon paper. They are commonly available in 2-part, 3-part, 4-part, and even 5-part configurations, making them ideal for invoices, receipts, service reports, work orders, and delivery documentation.
Nearly every industry uses custom printed carbonless business forms. Contractors, healthcare providers, automotive repair shops, transportation companies, manufacturers, educational institutions, government agencies, financial organizations, property managers, wholesalers, retailers, and professional service firms rely on custom forms to document transactions and streamline operations every day.

Two-part forms are commonly used for customer and office copies, while three-part and four-part forms provide additional copies for accounting, shipping, project files, or management. Our team can help determine the best configuration for your business.
Carbonless forms are available in many standard sizes, including 5½" × 8½", 8½" × 11", 8½" × 7", and other common business formats. We also offer custom sizes, allowing you to match an existing form or create one that fits your specific business process.

Snapsets are actually the most popular option for businesses that need to hand a copy to a customer while keeping the remaining copies for their records. Snapsets are individually collated sheets that separate easily from a detachable stub after completion, making them ideal for invoices, work orders, receipts, estimates, and service calls.
Yes. Carbonless forms can be bound into books with durable wrap-around covers that provide a firm writing surface and help prevent impressions from transferring to the next set. Wrap-around books are a popular choice for contractors, delivery drivers, service technicians, and anyone who needs a portable, organized way to complete carbonless forms on the go.
As a rule of thumb, all products that have had glue applied to them (carbonless forms, labels, self-seal envelopes, etc...) should be stored in an air-conditioned or climate-controlled environment. The ideal storage environment is 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit with no more than 45-55% humidity.
