Sequentially Numbered Carbonless Forms — And Your Sequence Never Restarts

Numbering is the single thing this industry gets wrong most often, and apologizes for most easily.

You order 1,000 numbered work orders. Six months later you reorder. The box shows up and the numbering starts at 000001 again — right on top of tickets your crews already wrote. Now you’ve got two #000412s in the same year, your bookkeeper is building a spreadsheet to untangle it, and the printer’s answer is “nobody told us.”

We hold the number

Every numbered job we run gets your ending number filed against your job number. Reorder number seven starts at 012,251, not at square one. You call, you say “same as last time,” and the sequence continues. That file is ours because the numbering machines are ours.

How we number

• Crash numbering through every ply — so part 1 and part 4 carry the same number, always. No mismatched copies.
• Start anywhere — any starting number you want, including continuing a series a previous printer started. Tell us the last number you used.
• Any position — one number or several on the same form. Position and size confirmed on your paper proof before we run.
• Any part count — 2, 3 or 4-part sets, books, snap sets or continuous forms.
• Numbered books — sets numbered straight through the book, book after book, with no reset at the cover.

Standard on every numbered job: free artwork cleanup, a free paper proof in 4 business hours showing the actual numbering, 2–3 business day production after approval, 250-set minimum, free ground shipping over $250.

And numbering is covered by the Press-Direct Guarantee like everything else: a sequence that restarts, skips or duplicates against your approved spec is a free reprint, and we pay freight both ways. No press-variance clause. No case number required.

Bring us your last book and the last number you used. We’ll take it from there. Call (855) 627-3676 (Mon–Fri 7am–7pm CT) or email quotes@carbonlessforms.com.
