Question: What margins are needed to print
Answer: We need 5/16" margins on most jobs as we print on cut size sheets. If your file bleeds off the edge, we will need to price it as the next larger size to allow for print margins.
Question: Can I order 6 or 7 Part Forms?
Answer: Yes. We provide
custom quoting for 6 Part and 7 Part Carbonless Forms.
However, we are unable to guarantee transfer on any carbonless form over 5 parts. This is due to the pressure needed to transfer the image through to all the sheets and with anything over 5 parts it may be difficult to write hard enough to transfer the image to all the pages.
We have tested our product and suggest not going over 5 pages.
Question: What is a Rush Order Charge?
Answer: When selecting the Rush Order* option, this will expedite your order to be printed in 2-4 business days* from date of order (
if no proof has been requested). If a proof has been requested, then it is 2-4 business days* from business date of Proof approval. Proofs can be viewed and approved online. Login to your Account to view or approve (see Account History).
Regular production time is 5-10 business days from date of order (

Question: How long does it take for my order to process?
Answer: Please allow 5-10 business days depending on the quantity and/or options selected for your order. If special order, please allow additional time. We will notify you by phone or email should production exceeds our normal time span.
Question: My logo is in color on my file why does it print in black?
Answer: When ordering your forms if you select black ink, you logo will print in black ink as a gray scale. Proofs will be done as color if your file is sent to us in color; however if you want the logo in color you will need to select full color printing for the forms. Except if logo is color separated as spot colors for 2 color printing then you can choose the 2 color printing process, and choose the colors desired.
Question: Where can you place the numbers for numbering?
Answer: Numbering can be placed in one of four locations (top right/top left/bottom right/bottom left) or an exact location provided in your artwork. Please note the default is top right.
Numbering is available in "Black" or "Red".
Question: What is nonstandard paper sequence / nonstandard file?

Options section to further customize your forms.
Tag Card Stock
By selecting Yes on the Non Std. Options section you can choose each paper color in your set and if you need back printing on each page of the set and what ink color(s) you would like the back printing to be.

Question: When do I need to choose perforation?
Answer: If you choose to have us bind your order in wrap-around covers, you do not need to choose perforation unless you need more than one perforation in the form. Wrap-around covers include one perforation, allowing the forms to be easily removed from the booklet.
If you need another part of the form to be torn off, you would require a perforation. Alternatively, if you want the form to have a stub on any side, you can choose to have 4 perforations as an additional charged option. If more than 4 perforations are required, please submit a
custom quote.
Question: What is padding?
Answer: Padding is used for carbonless forms to make them into note pad style. For Example: if you had 50 sets of
2 part 8.5 x 5.5 black and white carbonless forms and wanted them in a tablet form you would choose padding as an additional option to your forms.
Question: What is Tag Card Stock?
Answer: Tag Card Stock is a chemically treated sheet that works like
a regular sheet of carbonless paper. It is always the last sheet as the tag is only coated on one side of the sheet. Tag Card stock is a 105# weight sheet that is available in manila or white and can be printed on both sides.
Question: What is shrink wrapping?
Answer: You can choose shrink wrapping as an additional service. We package all jobs in packs of 250 sets for 2 and 3 part, and 125 for 4 and 5 part. If you wish for an additional charge, you can choose to have your forms packed in smaller-sized packs. For example, we can pack as few as 25 forms in a shrink-wrapped package. For options not listed on the website, please request a
custom quote.
Question: What is Edge Glue?
Answer: Edge-glued refers to edge-glued forms; for example, a 2-part form will be edge-glued on the left, right, top, or bottom of your choice. These are only glued in sets, not pads. To have your forms glued in pad form, please choose the padding option in additional services. If your form is glued on more than one edge, additional charges may apply.

Answer: We aim to complete most qualified orders within 24 hours or one business day. To qualify for this expedited turnaround, please provide us with a PDF file and specify that no proof of approval is needed. This 24-hour turnaround applies only to production and excludes shipping. Qualified orders include or are limited to orders of 100-500 8.5 x 11 carbonless forms, either 2-part or 3-part, with no additional bindery options, printed single-sided in black ink only. Orders with different sizes, quantities, or specifications will follow the standard production timeline.

Question: Can I get a proof?
Answer: A proof is provided if requested. Proof time will vary depending on current work load (usually 2-3 business days).

We can send a digital printed proof next day air at an additional charge. We are not liable for delays caused by the customer not approving the proof.
The proof is not the same as the original file submitted and should be reviewed prior to approval. It should be checked against your uploaded file for possible errors. The customer should check the file for any errors in spelling, grammar, layout, spacing, and punctuation. Customer is responsible for final proof and layout approval prior to the printing process.
