An NCR pad (No Carbon Required pad) and an NCR book (No Carbon Required book) are similar in purpose, as both are used for creating multiple copies of handwritten or printed documents without the need for carbon paper. However, there are some notable differences between the two.
Format:
NCR Pad: It typically consists of a stack of individual sheets glued together at the top or side, much like a notepad. Each sheet in the pad is coated with a special chemical that reacts to pressure, allowing for duplication without the use of carbon paper.
NCR Book: It is more structured and bound like a traditional book. It contains multiple sets of carbonless paper sheets bound together, often with perforations for easy removal.
Usage:
NCR Pad: Suitable for shorter, quick, and on-the-go needs where a few duplicate or triplicate copies are sufficient.
NCR Book: More suitable for situations where multiple copies are required, and there is a need for better organisation and preservation of the copies.
Perforations:
NCR Pad: Typically does not have perforations since the sheets are not meant to be easily separated from each other.
NCR Book: Often includes perforations to make it easy to tear out individual sets of copies for distribution or filing.
Binding:
NCR Pad: Typically bound at the top or side with a simple glue binding.
NCR Book: Bound more securely with a spine similar to a traditional book, providing durability and better organisation of multiple sets.
In summary, while both NCR pads and NCR books serve the purpose of creating multiple copies without carbon paper, the choice between them depends on the specific requirements of the task at hand, including the number of copies needed, the need for organisation, and the ease of distribution.
