NCR Books

NCR books - NCR (No Carbon Required) paper used in books or forms. NCR paper is a special type of paper used to create carbonless copies, typically in the form of multi-part forms or books. These forms or books allows you to make duplicate copies without using carbon paper, which was traditionally used to transfer ink from one page to another.

Here’s how NCR paper works:

• NCR paper is a multi-layered paper that contains micro-encapsulated dyes or inks on the back of each sheet. When pressure is applied (like writing or typing on the top sheet), the dye is transferred to the next sheet, creating a copy.
• No carbon required means there's no need for traditional carbon paper, making the process cleaner and more convenient.

Common Uses:

• Invoices
• Receipts
• Purchase Orders
• Work Orders
• Delivery Slips
• Pre-Use Checklist
• Forms that require duplicates (e.g. purchase orders, delivery receipts)

Key Features of NCR Books:

• Multi-Part Forms: NCR books typically consist of multiple sheets (often 2, 3, or more parts) stacked together. Each sheet has a special coating that allows the writing on the top sheet to be transferred to the sheets below, without using traditional carbon paper.
• Use in Businesses: They are commonly used in industries that need duplicate copies of documents on-site, like in:
• Accounting
• Sales
• Inventory
• Transport
• Mining
• Health

For example, a salesperson may use an NCR form to create an original invoice while the duplicate copy stays in the book for records.


• Customization: NCR books can be customized with logos, specific fields, and other business-related information for ease of use.

They’re super practical for businesses that need a physical record and a copy for both the customer and the business itself, all while eliminating the mess of carbon paper.
