NCR Forms are multi-part forms made with carbonless copy paper that allow multiple copies of a handwritten or impact printed document to be created simultaneously. Primoprint offers 2- or 3-part duplicate carbonless forms in a variety of sizes. We also provide variable numbering when provided with a data file.

NCR Form Product Information
• 0.25" margin on the short edge (usually the top) where the parts are glued together

File Types with Variable Numbering
NCR artwork can be submitted as a JPG, TIF or PDF. Data files must be in CSV (comma delimited) format. The data file may have up to 5 digits or characters per record.

Variable Numbering Font, Size, and Ink Color
The default font for variable numbering is 14pt Calibri, black ink only. If your background images are dark, you may need to knock out the background image in the numbering areas, so that the numbers are visible.

CSV Data File Set Up
There are four areas you can choose to have numbering included on your NCR forms. In your data file, indicate which areas you would like to use by naming the Column Headers on your CSV Data File with the corresponding Area Name.
