NCR Pads – why use them?!

We offer a fast and dependable NCR pad printing service, designed to meet the needs of businesses across the UK. Our NCR pads are printed on carbonless paper and glued into duplicate, triplicate, or quadruplicate pads, making them the perfect solution for various applications.

What is NCR Paper?

NCR stands for No Carbon Required. It’s a special type of paper used for forms which makes multiple copies of what is written. Anything from 2-part up to 4-part NCR can be produced.

In the old days, you would use a carbon sheet in between 2 sheets of paper to write on, and the carbon would leave marks on the second sheet. NCR paper has a special coating on the paper which means that it marks itself when pressure is applied. This is a lot cleaner and less messy. 

Why Choose NCR Pads?

Cost-Effective and Convenient

NCR pads are our most popular product due to their cost-effectiveness and convenience. They are cheaper and faster to print than books, and easier to handle than individual sets. Each pad is glued on one edge with a backing board and supplied with loose writing shields, allowing each sheet to be easily torn out as it is used.

Customisable Printing

Our service offers single-sided or double-sided printing options, ensuring you can include terms and conditions or any other necessary information on the back of each form. This flexibility ensures that your forms are tailored to your specific requirements.

Low Minimum Orders and Fast Turnaround

We cater to businesses of all sizes with low minimum orders and a rapid turnaround time of 2-3 working days. Additionally, our prices include free couriered delivery, ensuring your forms arrive promptly without any additional costs.

How It Works:

  1. Submit Your File: We’ll need a file that we can print from.

  2. Select Your Options: Prices are per design, so if you have two different forms, please make a separate order for each. Simply calculate the total number of pads you need and add any additional options.

  3. Upload Your File: During checkout, you’ll be prompted to upload your file. If you require numbering, include a note with the starting number or any other instructions.

  4. Approval Process: We don’t print anything automatically. We’ll review your order, ensure we understand it, and email you a PDF proof for approval. This proof shows the final layout as it will be printed, allowing you to verify and correct any mistakes.

  5. Production and Delivery: Once you approve your PDF proof, we’ll begin production and notify you once your order has been dispatched.
