What Are NCR Pads?
NCR Pads (No Carbon Required) are printed forms that allow you to create instant, duplicate or triplicate copies of a handwritten document - without using messy carbon paper. Each sheet contains a special coating that transfers the writing from the top sheet to the sheets beneath it.
How NCR Paper Works
NCR paper is coated with:
- Micro-encapsulated dye on the underside of the top sheet
- Clay/reactive coating on the top of the sheets below
When pressure is applied - usually with a pen - the dye ruptures and reacts with the clay, creating a clear duplicate copy.
Why Do Businesses Use NCR Pads?
NCR Pads are popular across industries because they provide:
✔ Instant Duplicate or Triplicate Copies
Perfect for receipts, invoices, contracts, or reports that require customer and office copies.
✔ Professional Business Presentation
Custom-printed with your branding, logo, and business details.
✔ Portable & Easy to Use
No machines, no carbon sheets - just write, tear, and go.
✔ Legally-Compliant Record Keeping
Ideal for trades, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, hospitality teams, and office staff.
Types of NCR Pads (and How to Choose the Right One)
Choosing the right NCR product depends on your workflow, form type, and how you use the copies.
### 1. NCR Pads (Most Popular)
These come glued at the top with 50 sets per pad.
Best for:
- Tradespeople
- Delivery forms
- Simple invoices and receipts
- Daily job sheets
Why choose NCR Pads:
- Easy to carry
- Compact
- Perfect for on-site or mobile use
2. NCR Books (Stapled and Perforated)
NCR Books are bound with staples and perforated, so the top copy can be removed while duplicates stay in the book.
Best for:
- Delivery notes
- Receipts needing permanent office records
- Legal record keeping
Why choose NCR Books:
- Duplicate/triplicate/quadruplicate records stay securely in the book
- More durable for high-traffic use
3. Loose NCR Sets
These are individual glued sets (not padded).
Best for:
- Filing into binders or folders
- Manual processing or multi-page documents

Why choose NCR Sets:
- Highly flexible
- Easy to sort and file
- Ideal when you don’t need a pad format
