Business forms in the spotlight

Whenever you find yourself in need of business forms and do not know what will work for you, please refer to the tables below for more information on where to get started.

The first thing you should consider when needing business forms is how you will use them. 

Manual Forms

These forms are meant to be written on, whether at retail stores or on the field. They usually include copies and are therefore printed on NCR or carbonless paper for the most part. Some business forms on our website still include carbon paper but those are quite rare nowadays.

Once you decided that you will need forms to write on, you will then need to decide the format of those forms. They can be:

• glued (called glued-edge forms)
• snap sets (attached with a 1/2 stub that is perforated and detachable)
• booked (with a manila tag cover that wraps-around the book)
• register forms (to be used inside a plastic or metal box on a counter)

Computer Forms

Computer forms are used with a software that will print any information contained within the software such as an accounting software that will fill in the invoice, check, or other details such as item name, description, quantity, amount, payee and so on.

Computer forms can be of two different types:

• laser forms
• continuous forms (also called dot matrix or pin feed forms)

Certain computer forms are designed specifically to match a software's default alignment, so you may find business forms designed for specific major software, but as long as you know how to adjust where the information is printed from your software, any of the forms we sell would be suitable for your software.

Now, to serve our customers better, we offer different printing solutions for these business forms, and the features available with each of the printing solutions are presented below:

* Paper color sequence can be changed on forms with your own design, so that means that you can deviate from the common white/yellow/pink sequence on most forms and go with white/blue/green if you prefer.

* A plate change is when one of the copies prints different information than the rest. This results in the graphic department needing to design multiple files and for the production department to create more than 1 printing plate for the press.
