Overview

The short answer, then the detail.

NCR pads are carbonless duplicate pads: each set copies through to the sheets below and tears off as one. Each pad holds 50 sets glued along the top edge, in 2, 3 or 4 parts and A6, A5 or A4, printed with your company name, logo and form layout.

NCR pads are glued along the top edge with a card backing, so you fill in a set and tear the whole set off. They suit counters, workshops and vans where you hand over one copy and file the other. NCR means "no carbon required": the coated paper copies your writing through to the sheets below.

How they are made. Each pad holds 50 sets glued along the top edge with a card backing. The top copy is white; the copies below are yellow (2-part), yellow and pink (3-part) or yellow, pink and blue (4-part).

Sizes. A6 for receipts and short job tickets, A5 for most invoices and job sheets, A4 for detailed quotes, inspection sheets and delivery notes. Print in black only, or full colour on the front for your logo and brand colours.

Artwork. Upload your own layout, or choose an artwork option and we set out your invoice or job sheet with your logo, address, bank details and terms. We check every file before we print. Buy from 1 pad up to 50; the price per pad falls as you order more.

Saver turnaround is ready to dispatch in about 11 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, Express in 8. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £99 and over (goods total); remote areas are quoted.

Frequently asked questions

About ncr pads.

How many sets are in each pad?

50 sets per pad. A 3-part pad therefore has 150 sheets: 50 white, 50 yellow and 50 pink.

What does NCR mean?

No carbon required. The sheets are coated so that writing on the top copy transfers to the copies below without carbon paper.

Which colours are the copies?

The top copy is white. 2-part sets have a yellow copy; 3-part sets yellow and pink; 4-part sets yellow, pink and blue.

Are the pads numbered?

No, NCR pads are unnumbered. If you need numbered sets, choose NCR invoice books, which are numbered in sequence.

Can you design my invoice layout?

Yes. Choose an artwork option and tell us what you need on the form (logo, address, VAT or company number, bank details, terms). You get a proof and two rounds of changes.

How long do NCR pads take?

Saver is ready to dispatch in about 11 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, Standard in 9 and Express in 8. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £99 and over (goods total); remote areas are quoted.

Questions

Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.

What size are NCR Pads?

NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm), from £43.02. For other sizes see NCR Invoice Books or Business Cards. The price updates live as you choose the other options. Every listed size and its price is in the Prices by size table on this page.

How does NCR paper copy through without carbon?

NCR stands for "no carbon required". The sheets are coated, so pressure from your pen on the top sheet marks the sheets below. Press firmly with a ballpoint and use the backing board, or slip a card under the set, so writing does not go through to the next set. Felt tips and gel pens do not press hard enough to copy well. NCR Pads start at £43.02 before delivery.

How many parts do I need in these books?

Choose 2-part (white, yellow), 3-part (white, yellow, pink) or 4-part (white, yellow, pink, blue). 2-part gives one copy for the customer and one for you; 3-part adds a copy for the office or accounts; 4-part adds one more, for example for a supplier or a job file. Each part is a different colour, so it is easy to see which copy goes where. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What artwork options are there for NCR Pads?

The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge.

What should I put on my book layout?

Your business name, logo, address, phone and email; your company number if you are a limited company, and your VAT number only if you are VAT registered. Then the boxes you fill in each time: date, customer, job or item lines, quantities, prices and total, plus payment terms and bank details if you invoice from the book. Leave writing space big enough for real handwriting. Our typesetting option (£15) lays it out for you. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

How does the online designer work?

Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For NCR Pads, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What is the cheapest price for NCR Pads?

The lowest price is £43.02, which is what the calculator opens on: size A4 · 210 × 297 mm, parts 2-part (white, yellow) and printing Black, front only. Every other combination is priced as you choose it, including faster turnaround, and that price is final because we do not add VAT. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).

How much is delivery for NCR Pads?

UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one book at £43.02 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.

How quickly can I get NCR Pads?

Saver is ready to dispatch in 11 working days, Standard in 9 and Express in 8, counted in working days (Monday to Friday, not bank holidays) from when your order and artwork are confirmed. The exact figure for your chosen size and options shows beside each turnaround in the calculator. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. On the opening option, NCR Pads are ready to dispatch in 11 working days on Saver or 8 on Express.

What colours are the copies in NCR Pads?

Copy colours: White top; then yellow, pink, blue. You can see this with the other details in the Specifications tab on this page. If you need something different, ask a question on this page or use Get a quote and we will tell you what is possible. NCR Pads are made to order by our UK production partner.

How are NCR Pads bound?

Binding: Glued along the top edge, card backing. You can see this with the other details in the Specifications tab on this page. If you need something different, ask a question on this page or use Get a quote and we will tell you what is possible. NCR Pads are made to order by our UK production partner.

What printing options are there for NCR Pads?

You can choose black, front only or full colour, front only. This sets whether the item is printed in black or full colour, and on one or both sides. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. NCR Pads are made to order by our UK production partner.

Do you check my file before printing?

Yes. A person from our team checks every uploaded file for size, bleed and resolution, and tells you if something needs fixing before anything is made. If you design online instead, you approve exactly what you see on screen, and that is what we print. We print what you supply, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates yourself too. Production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. NCR Pads can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Which file types do you accept for NCR Pads?

A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. For NCR Pads, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can my designer send the file straight to you?

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What resolution does my artwork need for these books?

For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi an A4 (210 × 297 mm) design needs about 2,480 × 3,508 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.

What happens if my file is not good enough to print?

Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. For NCR Pads, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Do I get the print file of my design?

Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For NCR Pads, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Will the price change at checkout?

Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. NCR Pads start at £43.02 before delivery.

What is the smallest order for NCR Pads?

The smallest quantity in the options is 1, then 2, 5, 10 and 20. The price shown is the total for that quantity, so compare the price each at two or three quantities before you choose. Ask for a quote for anything the options do not list. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What quantities can I order?

The quantity is part of the options: from 1 up to 50 (1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can you deliver to Northern Ireland, the Highlands or the islands?

Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. NCR Pads start at £43.02 before delivery.

I have a deadline. Is there a faster option for these books?

Yes. Express makes these books ready to dispatch in 8 working days on the opening option, priced at £49.81 against £43.02 on Saver (11 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.

NCR Pads or NCR Invoice Books: which should I choose?

NCR Pads come in A4 (210 × 297 mm); NCR Invoice Books comes in A5 (148 × 210 mm). Prices start at £43.02 and £45.72 respectively. Standard turnaround is 9 working days against 10. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.

Should my artwork be CMYK or RGB?

Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What does the designer check before I approve?

It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For NCR Pads, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can someone help me choose the right options for these books?

Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the book will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Do I need an account to order?

No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account and download the print files of designs you made online. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. NCR Pads start at £43.02 before delivery.

Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of NCR Pads?

Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. A quote is also the way to go for delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can I order several different designs in one order?

Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. NCR Pads start at £43.02 before delivery.

Where are NCR Pads made?

NCR Pads are made to order by our UK production partner. Either way, InstantBanners takes the order, checks your file and deals with you from start to finish, and the item is delivered to you by courier. You can reach our Manchester team on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp if you have a question before or after you order.

Can I reorder the same book later?

Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. If you designed it online, the print PDF from your first paid order is in My Account and your confirmation email, ready to upload again. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What if I spot a mistake after I order?

Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. NCR Pads are A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What if my order arrives damaged?

Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. On the opening option, NCR Pads are ready to dispatch in 11 working days on Saver or 8 on Express.

How should I store these books?

Keep printed paper and card flat, in the box it came in, somewhere dry and away from direct sun and heat. Damp makes paper curl and can stop it feeding through printers; sun fades colours over time. Store NCR books flat and away from heat and pressure, which can mark the copy sheets. NCR Pads are made to order by our UK production partner.

What should a tradesperson put on these books?

Your business name and logo, what you do in a few words, your phone number, email and website, and the area you cover. Add your registration number as text if your work needs one. Keep it uncluttered: fewer, larger words read better than a long list of services. NCR Pads are part of our Air Con & Refrigeration, Builders & Construction, Electricians, Fire Safety Engineers, Food & Hospitality, Gas Engineers, Landlords & Letting Agents, Lifting & Inspection, Mechanics & Garages and Plumbers & Heating Engineers ranges.
