Match the form to your document layout, required copies and printer’s continuous-paper specifications. These are selection guidelines; the selected SKU and option determine the actual specification.
- Form size: 9.5" × 11"
- The listed width is 9.5 inches and page length is 11 inches. Confirm overall width, usable print area and tractor-feed margins for your printer. Confirm whether the quoted width includes the feed margins; the usable print area may be smaller than the overall width.
- 1 Ply
- Single-layer continuous paper for documents that do not require multiple copies.
- 2 Ply
- Two layers in a form set: an original and one additional copy, subject to the selected product’s construction.
- 3 Ply
- Three layers for an original and two additional copies.
- 4 Ply / 5 Ply
- Four or five layers for additional document copies. These configurations are listed in the standard category; check the available options and your printer’s supported paper thickness.
- NCR / carbonless forms
- NCR means No Carbon Required. Suitable carbonless multi-ply forms transfer writing or impact-printing information across the layers without separate carbon paper. Check the selected product’s construction; a 1 ply form does not provide duplicate copies.
- Full Page vs 2-Up
- Full-page forms suit a single document layout per stated page length. A 2-up layout divides that page into two document areas. Perforation positions and usable printing dimensions depend on the SKU; confirm the form layout against your software and printer settings.
- Colour-layer combinations
- Choose the actual layer sequence shown in the product options. For example, the QForm 3 ply colour product offers “1st Ply White | 2nd Ply Pink | 3rd Ply Yellow”. Other products may have different combinations.
- Fans, sets, sheets and plies
- A ply is one layer. A set is the group of corresponding layers that make one form. A sheet is an individual paper sheet or layer. “Fan” or “fold” follows the product’s packing convention. These units are not interchangeable: check the SKU’s fans-per-box information and confirm how that translates to your required document quantity.
For example, the listed QForm 1 ply product states 800 fans, the QForm 2 ply product states 400 fans, and the custom printed 2 ply product states 1,000 fans per box. These are product-specific labels, not a universal packing rule. Selecting a multi-box option changes the purchasing quantity; the cart quantity may represent more than one box.
