NCR Sets Definition
- All sheets are glued into individual sets consisting of one top sheet, one bottom sheet and any required middle sheets.
- Sets are supplied loose in a box and are suitable for hand writing and cut sheet impact printers.
NCR Pads Definition
- Each pad usually consists of 50 (or 100) sets gummed together on a single edge with a card cover and 1200mic greyboard base. All sheets (top, middle, and bottom) are intended to be removed from the pad after use.
- Upon removal the card cover serves as an impression shield.
NCR Books Definition
- Each book usually consists of 50 (or 100) sets wire stitched together on a single edge and covered by heavy binding tape. A 315gsm manilla cover and 1200mic greyboard base provide protection and structure. Top & middle sheets are perforated to allow removal from the book, while the bottom sheets remain fixed in place (all parts perfed is an option when ordering).
- Impression shields are supplied loose in the box. Wraprounds are available at extra cost.
Crash Numbering
-
We crash number in either red or black. Red is our default so if you want black you must specify.
Collated sets are impact numbered. The top sheet will have a red number and subsequent sheets will have a carbonless NCR image number.
Impression Shields
- Loose hard manilla impression shields are always supplied where required. These should be placed below the set you are using in the pad/book to prevent the image being replicated on the unused sets below.
Wrap-rounds - Shields and Covers
- At an extra cost, creased 315gsm Manilla wrap round impression shields and/or covers can be fixed in place to each one of your pads/books.
