NCR Forms FAQ

1. What are NCR forms?

NCR stands for No Carbon Required. NCR forms are multi-part forms that create duplicate or triplicate copies of handwritten or printed information without the need for traditional carbon paper.

2. How do carbonless NCR forms work?

NCR forms use pressure-sensitive microcapsules and layered sheets. When you write or press on the top sheet, the dye capsules burst and react with a clay coating on the sheet below, creating an instant copy of your writing.

3. What part configurations are available?

The most common configurations are 2-part (original + one copy), 3-part (original + two copies), and 4-part (original + three copies). We can accommodate custom configurations as needed.
