No Carbon Required (NCR) is used where duplicate copies are required, particularly suited to signed for deliveries.
NCR paper can be printed on one or both sides Often terms and conditions are printed on the reverse. The number os parts will vary according to your requirement but 2, 3, 4 and 5 part sets are common.
Once printed they are collated and glued into either loose multipart sets, pads or books with a cover and back board. Covers can also be printed one or both sides. which are glued with a special glue so Sets are glued on one edge and supplied as loose sets Pads are glued on one side with a board base and optional cover Books are stapled on one edge with a board back and cover and are spine taped to cover the staples.These usually have some of the parts perforated so they tear out.
All NCR can be numbered to give document traceability NCR works through a unique coating of micro capsules of carbon ink coated to either the front, back or both sides which break when direct pressure is applied via a pen. When in contact with the corresponding under sheet (middle or bottom) this causes a duplicate throughout the set, pad or book. Suitable for Invoices, Statements, Order Forms and Books, Clinical Lab Sheets, Duplicate Books, Requisition Forms, Delivery Notes etc.
