Business Forms

Business forms can take on many shapes depending on the method used for filling them in.

The three major categories are:

   continuous forms for use in dot matrix printers;
   snap set forms for manual use;
   forms in sheets for use in laser printers.

  • Variable Content Document Bases

    These bases generally serve several forms. This is why they have few or no elements generally found on conventional forms.

    They reflect the corporate image of the organization.

    VCD bases are used in conjunction with our printing solutions for laser forms. During printing, the image of the form and the data are reproduced.

    Laser Cheque

    Laser cheques are designed according to the software used by the client as well as the organization’s graphic image. Only the data is printed by the user.


    Snap Set or Continuous Cheques

    Snap set cheque are filled out by hand while are used with a dot-matrix printer. They can be manufactured as a single copy or multicopy form. The original is always printed on cheque paper.

  • Laser Forms

    We make two categories of products for laser printers:

    -   Laser forms
    -   The bases for variable content documents

    The forms are completely printed. Only the data is printed by the laser printer.

    They can be single copies or sets, depending on use.

    We often find products such as:

    -   invoices
    -   account statements
    -   cheques

    We also make more sophisticated products such as:

    -   forms with shipping labels
    -   forms cut or perforated according to the client’s needs

    The majority of available paper types can be used, but the specifications of the printer on which the form will be printed must be taken into consideration.

    We focus on the conditioning of this type of form for problem-free feeding of the sheets.

    Example:
    Drawing of a base and a completed form.

  • Continuous Forms

    These forms are made for dot matrix printers.

    This type of printer is useful for printing multiple copies or specialized documents that cannot be laser printed.

    The options for gluing and crimping the feed strips are often used for these types of documents. They allow for manual use and the distribution of copies once completed.

    Ordering Documents
    The order confirmation, bill of lading, and invoicing documents are generally designed according to their destined use.

    During their design we take into consideration a number of factors such as:

    -   the nature and quantity of the information to communicate
    -   the mode of distribution: by hand, mail, fax, etc.
    -   the ulterior treatment of the copies
    -   the control procedures
    -   filing

  • Snap Set Forms

    A snap set form is generally filled in by hand and used in situations where it is impossible to mechanise the treatment of the collected information.
