Millions of businesses send out regular customer invoices each month. Whether it comes from the electric company or your child's school, these memos often involve return action. This generally requires the removal of a portion of the page to be returned with information or payment. Make it easier on your customers by using perforated paper to produce your invoices. Here are some of the benefits of doing so.

  • Multiple documents can be made with perforated paper. Other than invoices, these can include direct deposit notices, tuition statements, gift certificates, receipts, direct response mailings, payment vouchers, packing lists, and more. Any item requiring a tear off slip for return or record keeping can be created with perforated paper. This allows you to purchase one type of sheets and use them for multiple applications instead of needing a wide variety of paper styles.
  • Perforations help to ensure the correct section is removed. While a dotted line is an obvious sign of where to cut, some customers may slice and return the wrong portion of the page. Or they might not be able to locate scissors and therefore return the entire sheet, which places a greater burden on intake. By using perforated paper, individuals can efficiently tear off the correct piece needed for remittance.
  • A wide selection of perforation styles are available. Perforated paper mainly comes either in standard 20lb bond or slightly heavier 24lb bond weights. Either works well for invoice purposes. Letter and legal sizes are the most common. Letter size paper can have perforations at 3", 3.5", 3-5/8", or 3-2/3" from one end. These allow the sheet to be trifolded and fit neatly in a standard #10 business envelope. Legal paper is perfed at 3" or 3.5" and folds in quarters to fit in the same #10 envelope. Letter size paper can also be perforated in half and both sizes have the option of evenly spaced perforations through the entire sheet.
  • Perforated paper glides through copiers and printers. One great thing about this paper is that it's practically guaranteed to run smoothly through office machines. The pages go through a process to prevent "tenting", which is when the sheets rise up slightly at the perforation site. They also run through rollers to avoid curling. These two actions, along with being sealed into moisture resistant reams, result in paper that slides easily through copiers and printers without jamming.
  • Finally, using perforated paper will save you time and money, increasing your productivity and improving your bottom line. By ordering perforated paper, you'll save the expenses incurred in purchasing and maintaining a machine to make the perforations yourself along with the labor costs involved. You'll also have paper specifically designed for processing with office machines, resulting in less paper jams. That will prevent wasted paper and time spent fixing the problem.

Overall, switching from regular to perforated paper can be beneficial to most businesses. Plus, perforated paper is easier for customers, so they're more likely to return the tear off slip. That can lead to you getting your money or information faster. And since so many documents can be made from this one paper, making the switch is a logical choice.
