The most cost-effective approach is to use one of our existing NCR Invoice Book, Invoice Pad and NCR Set templates and include your own details. We can delete elements from the original artwork too (although if we’ve to ADD bespoke elements such as new sections, credit card details & logos etc., you’ll have to pay the extra Artwork charge as above).

Colour Envelope Printing

There are lots of types of printed envelopes available (both single colour and full colour), but we've standardised on printing the main European and UK sizes of A6, DL, C5 and C4 envelopes and TradePrintingUK (TPUK) consider ourselves to be a one of the top envelope printers in the country.

We always use the premium Crusade Envelope brand which gives a high-white, high-quality finish, and there are both window and non-window variants available. We mainly use the shorter life 'Self-Seal' type which are sealed by pressing together two flaps that are both pre-gummed. Over time (less than a year) they are prone to drying out in warmer office conditions, but are less expensive to produce and the majority of our clients prefer them due the advantage of less waste (those little white peel-off strips on Peel & Seal envelopes have to be dumped somewhere!) and they are normally used quite quickly for specific mail-outs or in a normal office environment. Our advice: order less at a time!

PRINTING ROYAL MAIL BUSINESS REPLY & FREEPOST ENVELOPES

One of the main uses of printed envelopes we find are for Business Reply Envelopes and Freepost Envelopes posted via the Royal Mail so quality has to be excellent to work within their stringent printing guidelines, especially with overprinting 1st and 2nd class indicia and barcodes to pass your mail quickly through their automated machinery.

We have some of the finest Royal Mail envelope templates in the country (TPUK's are probably even better than what they supply themselves, so we've been told!) as they are optimised for their systems, so you look good and have a hassle-free relationship with them.

PRODUCTION NOTES

All envelope descriptions are for guidance only as exact dimensions are subject to the usual tolerances that occur during the manufacturing process. In particular, flap shapes and sizes vary depending on the precise manufacturing machinery. Even within the same factory, older machines which are used from time to time may produce different designs of a particularly flap. The envelopes you receive may be subject to minor design variances, however, these variances will neither affect the functionality nor the perception of quality of the envelopes.

Envelopes are made from various weights of paper, usually from 90gsm to 100gsm. (gsm = grams per square metre). We would advise that he larger the envelope the more important the weight becomes; without the additional weight they become floppy and tear easily as you put papers or card inside.

Self-Seal Envelopes are usually produced in 90gsm
Peal & Seal Envelopes are produced in 100gsm

Printing A4 Presentation Wallet Folders

TradePrintingUK's fantastic oversize A4 Presentation Wallet Folders are great to present your quotes, tenders, estimates, training materials and samples professionally. They are a cost-effective way to market your business too and ensure your documents are presented to your potential clients in as professionally-printed way as possible. We have two different types, the first is a short-run digitally-printed Presentation Folder which are great for 50 - 100 copies if you only need a relative few. Printed on 350gsm Silk Artboard card, this oversized A4 Wallet Folder contains a single inner pocket glued into the inside right page and includes a pair of business card slits. We have options to either Matt Laminate or Gloss Laminate, They'll fit perfectly in a standard C4 envelope (which TradePrintingUK can print for you as well!).

The other Presentation Wallet Folder type that we print is a longer-run litho-printed (big printing presses!) Presentation Wallet Folder, again in over-size A4 format. With using the bigger printing presses we thus have a bigger sheet size to work with (compared to just SRA3 with the short-run digital folders), meaning we can have two proper interlocking flaps (the job is supplied flat) utilising both a standard spine and an extra-capacity 5mm gusset spine when you need to incorporate more inserted printed pages or samples etc. for your clients. We also print these Presentation Folders on premium 350gsm Silk Artboard card and again you've got the options of either Matt lamination or Gloss lamination for that extra special bespoke touch.

We have professional Illustrator templates available (with the die-cut forme for the litho-based longer-run printed Presentation Wallet Folders, so you can design (or let your professional graphic designer use it to produce your professional artwork). Both types of folders include free delivery via DHL.

A4 and A5 Gloss and Silk flyers and folded full colour mini-brochures.

We have a superb selection of colour flyers available, which we print Litho only for longer runs. Available in 130gsm or 170gsm Gloss Artpaper, we also print colour A4 and A5 leaflets in premium 170gsm Silk Artpaper for that extra touch of class, or if you need to fill in details with a biro pen etc. Full Colour printed flyers, leaflets and mini-brochures are a wonderful way to market, advertise and promote your business and whether they are handed out on a street corner or posted through people's doors, Gloss and Silk full colour flyers are a great way to get your name or your company's name, product or service out there to the masses. We can print full colour flyers either single-sided or double-sided. All our Artpapers are eco-friendly and FSC certified too. Some products that are normally zero rate VAT can be made standard rated (+ VAT) by what is printed on them. For example, colour flyers are normally zero VAT and TradePrintingUK does not add VAT to them, however, if your full colour flyer was to offer discount on a product or service, or, there was an area to be filled in by the recipient, then this can make the printed product standard rate + VAT.

What is NCR?

It means "No Carbon Required" and is a carbonless copy paper used to make a copy of an original, handwritten document. It's a biogradable, stain-free alternative to the old-style black or blue carbon-based papers that one used to sandwich between two other pages. They were very messy! It works by the pressure from the point of a pen releasing (by breaking) micro-capsules of dye ink onto the page below. As they are so tiny, the replicated print results in a very accurate, though slightly lighter copy.

Carbonless jobs are probably our most popular product.

But what's the difference between an NCR Set, Pad and Book?

A common question. May we first suggest clicking on the comparison links ('What are NCR Sets?' etc.) on each page.
Basically:
An NCR SET is a duplicate or triplicate pair of lightweight 70gsm pages, that can be any sheet colour (White, Pink, Yellow, Green or Blue), that is then over-printed with your supplied artwork. So a 2pt (pt = Part = Page) Set would have a Top Sheet and a Bottom Sheet.

Artwork Templates
Free Artwork Templates are available in our Templates Section. You can download the one that suits and make changes to it yourself or we can do it for you. Let us know what template you would like to use along with the details you want on it and we'll provide you with the artwork. Useful for Invoice Books, Purchase Orders, Delivery Notes, Receipt Books, Work Dockets etc.

NCR is our speciality, perfect for Invoice Books, Purchase Orders, Time Sheets, Work Dockets, Receipt Pads and Delivery Notes.
