Perforated paper is standard printer paper with precision micro-cut lines that let recipients tear off sections cleanly without scissors. It is used for invoices with payment stubs, W-2 and 1099 tax forms, raffle tickets, remittance slips, and any business form that needs to separate into two or more parts.
Available in horizontal, vertical, and multi-perf configurations, all certified to run jam-free in laser and inkjet printers. For specialty options browse creasers and perforators or perforated specialty papers. Need a custom perf layout? Call (800) 944-4573. Orders of $75 or more ship free.
Perforated paper is one of the most widely used specialty papers in office and print environments. The most common applications are invoices with tear-off payment stubs, W-2 and 1099 tax forms, bank statements with detachable remittance coupons, utility bills, raffle tickets, and event tickets. The perforation allows recipients to tear away and return the bottom portion, keeping a clean record on the larger portion above the perf line.
Most perforated paper for printing is a standard 20 lb or 24 lb white bond sheet printed with micro-perforations, often searched simply as "perf paper" or "buy perforated paper." It is compatible with most business, accounting, and shipping software that uses standard templates, making it a drop-in replacement for plain stock in most office workflows. Browse our perforated specialty papers for colored, cardstock, and non-standard-size options.
| Horizontal Perforation | Vertical Perforation | |
|---|---|---|
| Orientation | Line runs across the width of the sheet | Line runs top to bottom along the length |
| Common Use | Invoices, statements, remittance slips, W-2 forms | Checks, two-column forms, multi-part business forms |

| Multiple Perfs | Available in 1/3 and 2/3 splits, or thirds | Common in two-up check formats |
Some specialty applications combine both horizontal and vertical perforations on the same sheet, creating up to four separate sections per page. This is common in multi-part forms for grocery, retail, and healthcare environments where multiple departments need different sections of the same form.
Standard stock perforated paper covers the most common formats, including single horizontal perf at the one-third mark, two horizontal perfs creating three equal sections, and vertical center perfs for two-up documents. If your form design requires a custom perforated paper configuration, multiple perforations, or a non-standard paper weight or color, our team can help you find or source the right sheet. Call (800) 944-4573 to discuss custom perforations for print-shop and production environments.
