Carbonless Forms

Indispensable Tool for Companies and Institutions 

Carbonless pads are the ideal solution for filling out documents and forms that require immediate copy creation. By using high-quality carbonless paper, each sheet accurately reproduces the filled information, eliminating the need for carbon paper or additional devices.

Why Choose Our Carbonless Pads?

  • Convenience and Functionality: Alternating arrangement of original and copy sheets facilitates work in the office and during client meetings.
  • Print Precision: High-quality printing on the Canon VarioPrint 6180 machine ensures the readability of each copy.
  • Size Customization: Option to order pads in standard formats (A4, A5, A6) or any size smaller than A3.
  • Durability: The pad glued on the spine with semi-transparent glue is aesthetic and resistant to separation.

Carbonless pads are suitable for any industry where quick and accurate documentation creation is important – from contracts and invoices to protocols and order forms.

Technical Parameters of Carbonless Copies

Types of Paper

  • CB (Coated Back): The “transmitting” paper coated on the back side with microcapsules containing undeveloped dye. It is used as the top sheet serving as the original.
  • CF (Coated Front): The “receiving” paper coated on the front with a layer of active kaolin (dye-receiving). Used as the sheet serving as a copy.
  • Paper weight: 80 g/m².

Printing Technology

  • Single-sided printing in black, executed on a Canon VarioPrint 6180 machine.

Sizes and Number of Sheets

  • Formats: A4, A5, A6, or any smaller than A3.
  • Number of sheets:
    • Minimum: 20 sheets in a pad (20 CB sheets + 20 CF sheets).
    • Maximum: 400 sheets in a pad (200 CB sheets + 200 CF sheets).
  • Standard gluing along the shorter edge.
  • Minimum length of the gluing edge: 105 mm.
  • Maximum length of the gluing edge: 301 mm.

Technical Notes

  • During laser printing, the paper may shrink by approximately 2 mm along the length of the A3 format.
  • For orders with specific needs, it is recommended to precisely determine the dimensions and page layout before executing the order.

Carbonless Forms

Project Sizes

Prepare the project in the size of the ordered form without bleed.
All backgrounds and graphics should be set back from the edge of the form, leaving a 3 mm white margin.
The project should have clean edges to ensure print readability and aesthetics.

File Structure – Original and Copy

Carbonless forms consist of an original and a copy, which may be identical or differ in content and layout.

  • The file should contain both sides – the original and the copy – even if they are identical
  • The first page in the file will be printed as the original.
  • The copy may include additional markings (e.g., “copy” in the header) or differ in content layout.
