Custom carbonless paper (also called NCR paper – No Carbon Required) is a coated paper that transfers an image from the top sheet to the sheets below without traditional carbon paper. It uses micro-encapsulated dye (CB coating) on the back of the top sheet and a reactive clay coating (CF) on the front of the bottom sheet. Pressure from writing or printing ruptures the capsules, creating a sharp image. "Custom" means we tailor the size, color sequence, number of parts, and printing exactly to your form's requirements.

We offer full OEM customization: dimensions (any width/height for rolls or sheets), collation (2 to 8 parts with custom color sequence), paper weight (45–70 gsm), coating formulation (standard, heavy-duty, or low-ghost), printing (plain, ruled, pre-printed with your logo, barcodes, MICR, or security features), packaging (shrink-wrapped reams, labeled cartons, palletized with corner protectors), and branding (custom wrappers and box labels). Minimum order quantities vary by complexity – contact us for your specific need.

For custom-sized rolls: MOQ is 500 kg per item (approx. 40,000 3-part letter-size sets). For custom sheets/sets: MOQ is 200,000 sets. For pre-printed forms: MOQ is 500,000 sets due to plate setup. However, we offer sample orders (50–200 sheets or 1–2 rolls) for testing and qualification – no MOQ, just a nominal sample fee refunded on first commercial order.

Standard lead time: 18 working days from deposit confirmation (including production, QC, and packaging). Rush service: 10 working days (20% surcharge, subject to material availability). Sample orders: 5–7 working days. Shipping time depends on your destination: 15–20 days by sea to US West Coast, 25–30 days to East Coast, 3–5 days by air express (FedEx/DHL/UPS). We provide real-time tracking and proactive updates.
