NCR Sets – Loose Carbonless Sets for Easy Distribution

NCR sets are an excellent solution when duplicate or triplicate paperwork needs to be separated and shared instantly. Ideal for:

• Trades & Construction – Estimates, quote forms, customer agreements

• Logistics & Delivery – Delivery notes, signed proofs, consignment slips

• Garages & Mechanics – Service reports, MOT documents, job cards

• Restaurants & Retail – Kitchen slips, takeaway records, collection receipts

• Admin & Offices – Order forms, purchase orders, internal memos

These sets are lightweight, compact and portable, making them a popular option for mobile businesses or staff working in the field. Unlike books or pads, each individual set can be handed over cleanly, with no tearing required.

A Note on Sequential Numbering:

If you'd like your sets numbered, you can specify the starting number during checkout. To show where you want the numbering to appear, we recommend uploading two files:

1. A visual mock-up indicating the position of the numbering (for reference only)

2. A final print-ready file without the numbering in place

This ensures accuracy and a clean final print.

FAQs

What is an NCR set?
An NCR set is a loose 2-part or 3-part form made from carbonless paper. When written on, the information copies to the sheets below without using carbon paper.

What's the difference between an NCR set, pad and book?

• Sets are loose and glued together individually, perfect for single-use forms.

• Pads are glued together in a block and include a writing shield.

• Books are bound with staples and spine tape, with perforated pages.

Are the sets perforated?
No – they are glued as individual sets. For perforation, please see our NCR books.
