What are NCR pads typically used for?

NCR pads are commonly used for invoices, receipts, order forms, delivery notes, and job tracking.

What should be included on NCR prints?

You can include any information that requires duplication. We recommend incorporating your brand colours and logo to enhance brand visibility and trust.

Can you add numbers to my NCR print?

Yes, we can, simply select the option to number your invoices on your chosen product. We offer this on all sets, pads and books, to make keeping on top of your invoices that little bit easier. 

The NCR numbering will be printed sequentially throughout the number of books/pads/sets ordered. For example, if you order 2 books with the starting number of 1, your first book will have pages numbered 1-50, and the second book will be numbered 51-100.

What’s the difference between a NCR Pad and an NCR Book?

Our books include a cover and cardboard backing and are our most sturdy choice. The pages are bound together by stitching and come with a perforated edge for easy removal. 
Pads are glued along the top with a cardboard backing, ideal for a back up to your digital invoices.

Why should I include my logo on NCR forms?

Including your logo and brand identity on NCR forms promotes brand recognition and builds customer trust by clearly identifying the source of the documentation.
