In an era where digital transactions are ubiquitous, the relevance of physical invoice books may seem antiquated.However, for many businesses, these books remain a cornerstone of their operational practices.At MVP Print, we take pride in crafting high-quality invoice books, especially the NCR (No Carbon Required) variety. This article delves into the intricate process of invoice book printing, explaining the nuances of different types and the enduring significance of these physical records in 2024.
The Significance of Quality Paper in Invoice Book Printing
Selecting the Right Paper
The choice of paper is pivotal in printing durable and user-friendly invoice books. MVP Print uses premium paper that ensures legibility and longevity.
For NCR invoice books, a special paper is used that reacts to pressure, allowing for the transfer of written information from the top sheet to subsequent pages without the need for carbon sheets.
Paper Colour options for Invoice Book Printing
The stock colour selection for Personalised Invoice books is White, Blue, Green, Yellow and Pink
Traditionally, White is the Top Sheet, and Yellow is Second. But the Artwork may not suit this… you can essentially pick which one you would like to suit the colour printing (Based on your custom design) you have decided on. It doesn’t matter if they are receipt books, quote books, docket books, order books or invoice book – we don’t restrict these choices... the book is yours, and we will customise it to your request.
Sustainability and Durability

MVP Print opts for eco-friendly papers that can withstand frequent handling, ensuring that each invoice book remains intact and legible for as long as it’s needed.
Quarterbinding: A Touch of Elegance and Durability
What is Quarterbinding?
Quarterbinding is a traditional bookbinding method that involves covering the spine and corners of the book with a different material than the rest of the cover.
This technique not only adds an aesthetic appeal to the invoice books but also significantly enhances their durability.

Understanding Different Types of Invoice Books
The Difference Between Duplicate, Triplicate, and Quadruplicate Books
- Duplicate Books: These consist of two sheets per set – the original and one copy fixed into the book.
- Triplicate Books: These have three sheets per set, allowing for two copies of each invoice.
- Quadruplicate Books: These provide three copies, totalling four sheets per set.
Each type serves different business needs, with MVP Print offering customization options for each. Most Invoice Book Printing is single-sided, but if required terms and conditions printing can be added to the reverse side.
The Ingredients of NCR Books
Carbonless Books are predominately printed fully customised, as a tailored document with a custom design that specifically suits the client.
Most are printed with a Croc Board Cover (Crocodile Board is a durable, water-resistant cover at a stock weight of 600gsm, as is fully recyclable.
Custom Invoice Books are mostly printed in a single Pantone colour, with other popular options being 2 Colour or Full Colour Printing. Full Colour does cost more in NCR, especially when numbered, as it will involve 2 passes through the press.
