What is Carbonless Book (NCR) Printing?

Carbonless books — also called NCR books, No Carbon Required books, or duplicate/triplicate books — are printed booklets that produce an instant copy of whatever is written on the top sheet, without the need for carbon paper. The top sheet transfers ink to the sheet below it through a chemical coating. Two-part books produce one copy; three-part books produce two copies.

Printing Brisbane prints carbonless books with hard covers and fold-in writing mats as standard, making them more durable and easier to use in the field than flimsy pad-style NCR books.

What is the Difference Between Duplicate and Triplicate NCR Books?

– Duplicate (2-part): The top sheet and one copy below it. The original stays in the book; the copy goes to the customer. Most common for invoice books and receipt books.
– Triplicate (3-part): The top sheet and two copies. Common where a copy needs to go to the customer, one to head office, and one stays in the book — popular for delivery dockets, work orders, and WH&S forms.
