We have built up a reputation for producing high quality printed products
The day you’re on a job and you can’t leave a copy with the customer. Or you’ve scribbled a note on a scrap of paper and it’s gone by lunchtime. Then suddenly NCR is the most important print job in your life.
If you’re not familiar: it’s the duplicate (or triplicate) carbonless sheets. You write once, the copy transfers through. One for the customer, one for you, maybe one for accounts. Clean, simple, and still used everywhere — especially trades, deliveries, maintenance, site work. Plenty of lads across Louth and into Dublin rely on them because it keeps things straight. And when things go wrong, you’ve got a paper trail. Handy.
The key things to decide are format and what’s on the page. How many lines do you actually need? Are you writing itemised work, or is it a single job description? Do you need spaces for address, phone, VAT, date, signature? Don’t add boxes just to fill space. If you never use a box, it’s clutter.
Numbering is another one. Some people want sequential numbers printed because it makes tracking easier. Some don’t care. If you’re dealing with a lot of small jobs, numbering can save your head. If you’re doing occasional work, you might not bother. Up to you.
Then there’s binding. Standard book with perforations is common. If you’re ripping pages out all day, you want it tearing cleanly. Nobody wants a jagged edge and half the page still hanging on. We’ve seen it. Looks messy in front of a customer.
We print these for businesses around Dundalk and Drogheda constantly, and they end up all over Leinster because companies have crews moving. One book in the van, one in the office, one for the main lad. It’s not glamorous print. It’s practical print.
If you’ve an old docket book you like, send a photo of it or drop it in. Easiest way. If you’re starting from scratch, give us a call and we’ll advise on a layout that you’ll actually use. No point printing something that annoys you every time you fill it out.
