NCR stands for No Carbon Required and refers to paper stock that has been treated with a special coating. When glued together in sets of 2 or more sheets, the paper reacts to the pressure of a pen so that whatever is written on the first sheet of the form is copied onto subsequent parts of the form without the need for carbon paper.

Once the sheets have been printed they are collated together, then can be either quarter bound with hard covers, glued in notepad form or provided as loose sheet sets.

Depending on the business and requirements, NCR books, or pads, can be custom designed with logo, contact information and any other information relevant to the business. NCR paper is commonly used for purchase order books, invoice books, receipts, quote books, job books, contract books and site books. Whatever processes you have within your company where multiple copies are required, then NCR books are what you will need.

NCR paper comes in five colours – white, pink, yellow, green and blue. The quarter bound hard croc covers come in blue, red, green or black and you can also add wrap around inserts. They can also be individually numbered. The paper is also available in all sizes with the most common being A4 or A5 size.
