carbonless paper

Self-copying stationery

Carbonless paper is a type of paper designed to transfer writing or typing to sheets beneath it without using carbon paper.

The paper is coated with chemicals that react under pressure, creating a copy when someone writes or types on the top sheet.

It's commonly used for multi-part business forms like invoices, receipts, and contracts where instant duplicates are needed.

The customer gets the white copy and we keep the yellow carbonless paper underneath.
