2-Part Carbonless Forms Printing Service
2-part carbonless NCR forms provide convenient duplicate copies of your invoices, sales tickets, estimate forms, contracts or other business documents when you need an additional copy. Carbonless forms require no messy carbon paper - that's where the term carbonless comes from.
We print 2-part carbonless NCR forms in either black or full color, and consecutive numbering is optional. You can enter your own quantity to order the number of forms you need, subject to the product's minimum order requirement.
Available Sizes and Choosing the Right Form
We offer six standard sizes of 2-part carbonless forms to accommodate many different types of business forms. The 4.25" × 5.5" quarter-sheet forms are suitable for receipts and simple service records, while the 5.5" × 8.5" half-sheet forms work well for invoices, work orders and estimates. The 8.5" × 7" half-legal forms provide another option for wider layouts. For forms requiring more writing space, consider the 8.5" × 11" letter-size forms or 8.5" × 14" legal-size forms. Our largest standard option, the 11" × 17" tabloid-size form, provides ample room for detailed information. This tabloid size 2 part carbonless form is particularly useful for sales representative order forms with numerous columns and rows for ordering inventory.
All six sizes are available in either portrait or landscape orientation. If you need a different finished size, contact us for a custom quote.
What Are 2-Part Carbonless Forms?
A 2-part NCR printing job contains two sheets designed to transfer information from the original to a duplicate without traditional carbon paper. In a standard 2 part carbonless form set the top sheet is typically white, and the bottom sheet is typically yellow. Pressure on the top sheet from a pencil or ink pen activates the coatings in the paper, producing a corresponding image on the second sheet.
The 2-part carbonless NCR form's original and duplicate can then be separated, allowing one copy to be given to a customer or other recipient while the other is retained for your records. For a more detailed explanation of the paper and transfer process, visit our How Carbonless Forms Work page.
Common Uses for 2-Part Carbonless Forms
When you need one original and one duplicate of the same document, 2-part carbonless NCR forms are a practical choice. Common applications include:
- Invoices and billing forms
- Receipts and sales forms
- Estimates and quotations
- Work orders and repair orders
- Purchase orders and service records
- Delivery tickets and service tickets
- Medical and patient forms
- Internal business records
- Contracts, purchase agreements and membership forms
If you need an original plus two duplicate copies, see our 3-Part Carbonless Forms. For an original plus three duplicate copies, choose 4-Part Carbonless Forms.
Printing Options and Consecutive Numbering
Our standard 2-part carbonless NCR forms can be printed in black or full color, depending on your artwork and business needs. The two parts are edge-glued across the top to keep them aligned and they can be easily separated when needed.
Optional consecutive numbering is also available for forms that need unique numbers such as invoices, return authorization forms or credit memos. Sequential numbers are very useful for invoices, receipts, work orders, tickets and other documents where organized record keeping matters.
Custom 2-Part Carbonless Forms
If our standard 2 part forms don't fit your needs, we can provide a quote for custom 2-part carbonless NCR forms to meet your specifications. This includes things like forms with perforated stubs or tear-offs, black out sections, receipt books, and wrap around covers. This option may be useful when reproducing an existing odd sized form or when your custom carbonless form needs specific dimensions or features to fit your usage requirements.
Contact us with your required finished size and project details for a custom quote.
Order Only the Quantity You Need
You can enter the exact quantity of 2-part carbonless forms you need rather than being limited to predetermined cookie cutter quantities. Your order must meet the product's minimum quantity requirement, but you can choose a quantity that better fits your business instead of paying for extra forms you may not need. This is especially helpful when you have frequent form revisions.
This flexibility can help you manage your printing budget, whether you need 2-part carbonless forms for a small business or a larger enterprise operation.

We can print your existing artwork or help you create a professional, press-ready design from your ideas. If you're preparing a new NCR invoice, receipt, work order or other business form, our Graphic Design and File Preparation Resources can help you prepare your artwork. If you need assistance with artwork for NCR printing, we offer full graphic design services in house. Separate charges apply for all graphic design services.
For best results, submit a high-quality, print-ready PDF created at the finished size of your 2-part carbonless form.
