With the introduction of modern technology, people might think that the use of carbonless paper is a thing of the past. People can sign for things on computers and they can print receipts and anything they want really, from their computers.

But, actually, carbonless paper is still very popular and some people would not be able to do their jobs without it. Not all jobs are paperless and some places still have to use carbonless paper throughout their day.

What is carbonless paper?

Carbonless paper is a piece of paper that has three parts to it. Someone writes on the top page and then there is a page underneath makes an imprint on the third page. This means that people don't have to write two copies of whatever they are writing. If they need to give a copy to their client, they just take the copied page and the original document can be kept for records.

Where is it used?

Carbonless paper is used all over the world in more industries than you can imagine. It is used in stores, for deliveries and even for signing of contracts when people are renting properties.

It is more used in massive stores that supply items like furniture because the sales advisor has to order the furniture in and the customer needs a copy of the order form and the delivery itinerary.

If you have ever been on a holiday to a popular place and seen all the ticket touts along the main road, selling tickets to shows and theme parks, well they use carbonless paper to order the tickets for their customers. The customers take a copy of the order form and the sales advisor keeps a copy for their own records.

Some smaller stores have now made the switch to computer records and computer hand sets to make their orders, but they still keep some carbonless paper as a backup if their network goes offline, so they can still make their orders.

Where to buy it?

Carbonless paper can be bought online from specialist stores, or it can be bought from stationary shops on the high street. It is lot cheaper from online stores and they do have free shipping in some places, so it is worth looking online before you rush the purchase.

When choosing an online store to buy the paper from, you should choose a specialist store over a store, which just has it as part of their inventory. This is because you will get better value for money and you will have more options from a specialist store.
