NCR Books
Durable, professional NCR books for clear, multi-copy paperwork
Our custom-printed NCR books are perfect for tradespeople, drivers, garages, offices, and restaurants that need to produce multiple copies of the same document. Whether you're writing out invoices, delivery notes, purchase orders or receipts, NCR books provide a professional, tamper-resistant way to capture information on-site or in the office.
Each NCR book includes 50 sets, available in either duplicate (2-part) or triplicate (3-part) formats. The top sheet is always white, with yellow and pink sheets used in 2- or 3-part sets. Pages are printed on 80gsm carbonless paper, perforated for easy tear-out, and securely bound with two staples and a black spine tape along the long or short edge, depending on orientation.
A wraparound cover is included as standard. This acts as a built-in writing shield, protecting the sets below when filling in forms.

Design Tips for NCR Books
To ensure your design prints correctly:
-
Leave a 2cm margin on the binding edge to accommodate staples, spine tape and perforation
-
Keep a 1cm clear margin on all other edges to prevent clipping of important content

FAQs
What is an NCR book?
An NCR book contains multiple sets of carbonless paper (No Carbon Required) that duplicate handwritten information across sheets. It is bound for durability and used for professional record-keeping.
What's the difference between an NCR pad and book?
NCR books are staple-bound with taped spines, and their pages are perforated, allowing sheets to be torn out or retained. NCR pads are glued and not perforated.
