When it comes to printing information on paper that needs to be separated into two or more parts, the perforated paper is the office stationery that makes it possible. It looks the same as the standard A4 copy paper with the difference that it has got perforations across the sheet. The A4 perforated paper is printed in the same way as well. It is inserted into a standard laser or inkjet printer or photocopier and each of the sheets is printed regularly. Then, the user can separate the sections where the perforation lines are.
There are lots of different uses of the perforated paper. It can be used as an invoice, statement, ticket, remittance advice, pay advice slip, company memo, brochure, consignment note and so on. Because it can be separated into two or more parts, information on all the different section can serve as valid documents. For example, if it is used as a delivery docket, the delivery man can sign on one side on the form and the recipient of the goods on the other side and they both will have a signed piece of paper as a proof of the delivery. This section that the delivery man has can be further stored for record keeping.
The most common colours of the A4 perforated paper are plain white, blue, and beige but it can also be found in various colours such as pink, purple, green and yellow. If you intend to use it as a document then the plain white, blue, and beige colour are the best fit. In addition, the most commonly used weight is 80gsm.
Today, almost every supplier of A4 perforated paper can custom make the perforations so you can choose the form that best suits or business or other need. What is more, you can even buy pre-printed business forms that are already suitable with particular software packages. These pre-printed business forms will enable you to create a professional finish look of your invoices, statements and remittance advice forms.
Most of these pre-printed business forms are made suitable for the software packages such as Arrow, Attache, Autosoft, Business Manager, Lawson Banner, MYOB, Quickbooks, Sage, Sybiz and so on. All of the pre-printed business forms have perforated sections so that the part you need can be easily torn away and returned to the accounts department.
When you are looking for perforated or any kind of paper stationery make sure that it is FSC and FEFC certified and ethically sourced from Sustainable Forestry Plantations. Caring for our planet is important and the fact that there is more and more deforestation for the purposes of different industries should be a wakeup call to warn us that if we continue to use products that are not sustainable we will leave our descendants a troubling planet.
