What are A5 NCR Sets?

NCR Sets are handy business tools that can provide you copies information for you. In the past, most businesses used carbon paper which involved using an ordinary sheet of paper over the top of a sheet of carbon paper. When pressure was applied with a pen or pencil, the carbon would imprint itself onto the paper below, so you received an exact copy of the details made. However, carbon paper was incredibly messy, and writing was easy to smudge.

How do A5 NCR Sets work?

Rather than using carbon paper, NCR sets are made up of several pieces of NCR paper lined with a special micro-encapsulated dye. The paper is glued together in sets of 2 or 3 so that when you apply pressure using a pen or pencil, the ink transfers across all sheets and you have instant copies of the original.

What are A5 NCR Sets used for?

A5 NCR Sets are used by many different types of business, most commonly tradesmen who need to write out duplicate timesheets, delivery notes or receipts quickly and efficiently on a client’s premise. They can be used for any reason where you may need a duplicate of something.

Why Choose A5 NCR Pads?

A5 NCR Pads combine the convenience of a compact format with the efficiency of carbonless duplication. Their smaller size makes them easy to store in vehicles, clipboards, toolbags and work cases, making them particularly suitable for businesses that regularly complete paperwork away from the office.

Unlike NCR Books, which retain copies within a bound book, NCR Pads use a simple tear-off format that allows forms to be removed quickly and distributed as required. This makes them a popular choice for businesses that need fast, efficient paperwork throughout the working day.
