Duplicate & triplicate books
Duplicate and triplicate books are used to transfer information from one piece of paper onto one or two sheets underneath.
These types of books contain either carbonless or carbon copy paper. The majority of the books here at Paperstone are made by Challenge, and contain carbonless sheets. Carbonless paper is generally prefered because it is sensitive to pressure, and is neater than carbon paper.
Our wide range includes notebooks to document finances, including for invoices, petty cash, and receipts.
We also have pads for making notes, such as restaurant order pads and ruled duplicate and triplicate books.
Duplicate and triplicate books can come with or without a cover. Your choice depends on whether you will need to archive the book, or if the sheets need to be torn out neatly.
The binding is also an important choice. The most common books are stapled or are bound by taped cloth. But wirebound books are also a great option, as they are easier to lay flat and keep open.
