Business forms and prices

Examples of business forms Minuteman Press design and produce include invoices, statements, receipts, transfer notes, inspection reports and checklists.

Business forms produced at Minuteman Press can be single sheet on regular 100gsm paper, or carbonless sheets with multiple (two, three, four or five) colour pages, high quality Giroform Excel stock is employed. Sheets can be supplied individually, glued in sets or in pads as required. Business forms can be numbered and perforated.

The carbonless process was invented by the NCR Corporation as a biodegradable, stain free alternative to carbon paper. The back of the first sheet is coated with micro-encapsulated dye. The top of the middle sheet is coated with clay that quickly reacts with the dye to form a permanent mark. The back of the middle sheet is also coated with the dye. The lowermost sheet is coated on the top surface with the clay with no coating applied to the back side. When someone writes on the sheets, the pressure from the point of the writing instrument causes the micro-capsules to break and spill their dye.

Dimensions are typically A6 (105mm x 148mm), A5 (148 x 210), A4 (210 x 297) and A3 (297 x 420).

The examples detailed are not exhaustive, anything is possible.

If you have your own business forms designed, you may supply Minuteman Press with a digital file, which should have adequate bleeds and crop marks. This will ensure that Minuteman Press can print all the way to the edge of the business form. If you don’t have a file, Minuteman Press will be pleased to turn your concept into a reality. Files can be uploaded via the ‘File transfers’ tab.

It is important to note that business forms must follow legal requirements detailed as follows:

Sole trader

If you choose a business name that is not your own name, you must include your own name and business address on orders and receipts.

Invoices must state your VAT registration number if applicable.

Partnership

Invoices and receipts must include the names of all partners and the address of the principal office. If there are many partners then it is acceptable to detail where a list of partners may be found.
