Custom NCR Pads: Personalised Duplicate & Triplicate Glued Pads
made for trade professionals, hauliers, delivery drivers, and retail businesses who need fast, clean, and instant multipart duplication on the move. Bound along the top or side edge our custom NCR pads allow each complete duplicate or triplicate set to be torn away cleanly as a single unit, leaving the rest of the pad securely intact.
Why Trade Businesses Prefer Glued NCR Pads
Unlike bound books where one copy is intentionally left stapled inside the spine, NCR pads are designed for complete set distribution. Once signed, the entire multi-sheet set detaches cleanly in one motion.
Technical Specifications: Glued NCR Pads
Do You Need to Keep a Copy Bound in the Book?
If your workflow requires one copy to be handed to the customer and the duplicate copy to be right away filed or sent to an off-site accounts team, Glued NCR Pads are the ideal choice. However, if UK regulations (such as Gas Safe or Waste Transfer notes) require one copy to permanently remain bound in the spine for auditing, we strongly recommend our Custom NCR Books instead. Need individual standalone forms for client contracts or clipboards? Check our Custom NCR Sets. You can also view our full overview on the NCR Printing Hub.
Frequently Asked Questions About NCR Pads
How are sheets held together in an NCR pad?
NCR pads are bound using specialized padding adhesive along the top or side edge. Each multipart set detaches cleanly and smoothly from the pad as one complete duplicate or triplicate unit, without tearing or damaging adjacent sheets.
Can I have sequential numbering printed on my NCR pads?
Yes. Sequential numbering is available in high-visibility red or black ink. You can choose any 6-digit starting number (e.g. 000101) during checkout to match your existing financial software or paper invoice sequence.
Are NCR pads suitable for use with a ballpoint pen?
Yes. Standard medium ballpoint pens provide the optimal firm point pressure required to trigger the micro-encapsulated dye reaction across all duplicate sheets. Soft felt-tip pens or rollerballs with very soft ink may not deliver sufficient mechanical pressure for deep 3-part or 4-part duplication.
How fast can Printways deliver custom NCR pads to my UK address?
Standard production and dispatch turnaround is 3 to 5 working days from artwork proof approval. We ship via DPD trackable courier with 100% free delivery across the UK mainland.

How to Prepare Your Artwork
To ensure the highest quality print, please supply your artwork in PDF format. We recommend saving your files with the 'High Quality Print' preset. Here are a few essential tips for the perfect print:
- Bleed Area: Please include a minimum of 3mm bleed on all edges of your design. This ensures no white borders are left when we trim your product to the final size.
- Safe Zone: Keep all important text, contact details, and logos at least 3mm away from the trim edge.
- Resolution: All images and graphics should be supplied at 300dpi (dots per inch) for crisp, clear, and professional results.
- Colour Mode: Convert all RGB and spot colours to CMYK format before exporting your file to avoid unexpected colour shifts.
Understanding Paper Stocks & Finishes
Choosing the right paper stock can dramatically change the feel of your product. Here is a quick guide to our most popular options:
- Silk / Uncoated: A natural, non-reflective finish that is highly readable and easy to write on. Perfect for letterheads, forms, and elegant brochures.
- Gloss: A shiny coating that makes colours pop and images look incredibly vibrant. Ideal for flyers, posters, and photograph-heavy designs.
- Matt Lamination: A smooth, sleek finish that dulls reflections and adds a premium, tactile feel to business cards and luxury presentation folders.
- Spot UV & Foil: For maximum visual impact, add a glossy raised layer or metallic foil to specific parts of your design to draw the eye instantly.
