Common Uses for 4.25" × 5.5" Carbonless Forms

The compact 4.25" × 5.5" quarter-sheet format is a practical choice when you need a smaller carbonless form that is easy to carry, organize or distribute. These 2-part forms are commonly used for receipts, service tickets, appointment forms, work orders, inspection forms, delivery receipts, small order forms and other documents that require an original and one duplicate copy. The compact size can be especially useful for businesses that want to keep forms small while still providing a duplicate copy to a customer or for their own records.

How Do 2-part Carbonless Forms Work?

A 2-part carbonless form is a business form consisting of two sheets of specially coated paper that transfer handwritten information from the top copy to the duplicate copy through pressure-sensitive chemical coatings. Firm, even pressure produces the best results when writing on 2-part carbonless forms. Multi-part carbonless forms eliminate the need for traditional carbon paper between printed sheets, making them cleaner and easier to use. Carbonless forms can also provide cost and efficiency advantages over traditional carbon-copy forms.
