PRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONSQuick & Short Run Carbonless NCR Forms Specifications
For printing terms and production definitions, visit our Glossary.
The specifications below are built directly from the supplied estimator for Quick & Short Run Carbonless NCR Forms. Only calculator options marked Yes under Show an Option are included, while grid options come from the applicable pricing combinations; quantity fields are excluded. The order follows the spreadsheet, with customer-facing terminology standardized to Printing, Paper / Stock, Variable Data, Sequential Numbering, Hole Drilling, Shrink Wrapping, 2 Business Days, Upload Artwork Now, Provide Artwork Separately and Request Design Assistance. Illustrations reuse the approved Small Format Estimator HTML wherever an equivalent concept exists, including orientation, printing, paper families, variable data, numbering, rounded corners, hole drilling, perforation, shrink wrapping, turnaround and artwork. A distinct purpose-built illustration is used only for a product-specific option such as a door-hanger die, NCR set construction, booklet binding, copy tabs or cutting. No two option illustrations on the same page are intentionally identical.
