Switch to Pressure Seal forms, Folding, stuffing, gluing and heating of mailings and envelopes are things of the past.

This is a innovative pressure seal solution offering businesses and marketers a cost-effective and environmentally efficient way to create, process and deliver mailed pieces without an envelope.
Pressure seal one-piece mailer forms can also be custom printed in regular office laser printers, complete with postage, allowing for control of costs, personalized designs and either bulk or one-off delivery of mailed pieces when necessary.
Pressure seal technology provides a cost-effective, environmentally efficient way for you to create, process and deliver mailed pieces without an envelope. In fact, by eliminating the printed envelope from the process, pressure seal has become a more efficient, “green” alternative when doing office mailings.
Pressure seal requires a one-page, self-sealing document—such as a form or a check—and a folder/sealer to fold and seal the document. Unlike other types of mailers that require heat or liquid for sealing, a pressure seal document is sealed when the form is folded in a pressure seal folder/sealer. Folding aligns patterns of co-hesive, which are applied to edges of the form during manufacture; when the folded form passes through a series of sealing rollers that apply pressure, the co-hesive is activated, creating a seal.
self-mailer pressure seal forms are the cost-effective and environmentally efficient way to create, process, and deliver mailed pieces securely and without an envelope.

Pressure Seal checks saves you time and money when preparing a mailing, and eliminate the need to print a check / form and then stuff in to an envelope. Most times, the final pressure seal document is what is sent in the mail, this is commonly seen with checks. Companies will send payroll checks or refund checks folded and sealed so the receiver has to tear off the perforated edges to access the information. Standard check stock comes blank, with the check in the bottom, middle, or top position, and a variety of colors and security options. Pressure seal forms are securely folded and sealed when processed by a folder/sealer. Patterns of a pre-applied "cohesive" are aligned during the folding process and stick only to each other when high pressure is applied Pressure Seal Technology increases productivity, reduces processing time, cuts expenses, shrinks labor costs, and allows you to maximize postal discounts. Pressure seal forms are then processed through a pressure folder sealer and emerge securely sealed and ready to mail.

NCR Books, Pads, Loose Paper and Continuous Paper

“The acronym NCR in the printing industry stands for No Carbon Required; this is a special type of paper that is the modern day replacement to the old fashioned and messy blue carbon paper that was used to make duplicates, usually found in invoice and order pads.
With NCR paper there is no mess at all, the back of the first sheet is coated with micro-encapsulated dye. The face of the second sheet is coated with a clay that quickly reacts with the dye to form a permanent mark. Any further sheets needed are coated with clay on top and dye on the bottom allowing for 2, 3, 4 or even more copies of the original sheet.
When the top copy is written on the pressure of the pen/pencil (or printer) makes the coating on the reverse of the top sheet react with the coating on the face of the bottom sheet, causing the micro-capsules to break and spill their dye, as the capsules are so small, the print obtained on subsequent sheets is very accurate.”
NCR paper is typically used in duplicate pads, where the user requires instant multiple copies of what is being written. For example; an invoice or receipt pad where the company keeps one copy and the customer receives the other. It is also widely used as agreement forms whereby the customer signs and agrees to Terms & Conditions or similar, again allowing the company and customer to both keep a signed copy.
NCP Paper can be printed on in single color, they could be personalized with your logo, contact details and any specific forms or layout that you may require. Personalized NCR printing to match your existing business stationery will maintain consistency across your brand and will portray a professional look to your customers. They also provide a great reminder of your business/services to your client/customer as a past invoice or receipt is where most people look when it is time to re-order something.
Books/Pads - NCR paper is typically supplied in pads which are glued to one edge allowing all copies to be removed. You may prefer them as books which are stapled, spine-taped and perforated allowing you to leave the copy in the book for safe storage.
Loose Paper - Loose sets are supplied either completely loose, usually because they need to be printed using an office printer or they can be glued into loose sets.
Continuous - Continuous forms are also available, although not used as often as they once were; they are supplied with detachable sprocket holes on either side and can be fed through a dot matrix printer.

Form 1040-EZ

1. Form 1040-EZ
If your tax situation isn’t complicated, you might be able to take the “easy” route and file Form 1040-EZ. You need to meet all the requirements, such as being under 65 years old, single or married filing jointly, claiming no dependents, and with taxable income less than $100,000.  Other requirements apply if you want to use this simplified form.
2. Form 1040, U.S. Individual Tax Return
This is the basic IRS tax form most U.S. filers use for their annual tax return. You might have to use this form depending on your age, filing status and gross income. Even if you had no taxable income but are eligible for a tax refund or credit, this might be the correct form for you. While this form is more complicated than Form 1040EZ, it allows you to itemize deductions as well as claim numerous expenses and tax credits.
3. Schedule A to Form 1040, Itemized Deductions
You might hear people say that some personal expenses are “deductible” from your gross income to potentially lower the amount of taxes you have to pay. That statement is true. And if your total deductible personal expenses are greater than the standard deduction amount set by the IRS, you can itemize them using Schedule A.
The schedule has seven categories of expenses, including charitable donations, medical expenses, and mortgage interest. Strict rules apply for calculating and claiming these deductions, however. In some cases, you might not be able to deduct the full amounts.
You also don’t have to complete every line of the schedule. If you don’t have expenses in a certain category, simply skip over it. Once you’re finished, your total deduction amount is then added to Form 1040.
If you had over $1,500 in taxable interest or ordinary dividends from your bank accounts and investments, you might have to file Schedule B to report the amounts.
Additionally, if you have any foreign bank or investment accounts or receive distributions from certain foreign trusts, you must report that information on this schedule. Once completed, these totals also transfer over to Form 1040.
5. Form 1099-INT, Interest Income
You might receive a Form 1099-INT from banks or other financial institutions if they paid you a certain amount of interest on your deposits. In many cases, you’ll have to pay tax on the interest the form lists and report it on your tax return.
All amounts listed on the form need to be added to your return. Additionally, you must prepare a Schedule B with the name of each payer and the amount of interest received if the total taxable interest is over that $1,500 threshold.
6. Schedule C to Form 1040, Profit or Loss From Business (Sole Proprietorship)
If you are self-employed, you may need to file Schedule C to report the gross profit or loss from your business. Categories of expenses include costs like insurance, travel, meals and entertainment, taxes, office supplies, wages, and other business-related items.
7. Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income
Self-employed people generally receive this form from each client that paid them throughout the year. It reports the total earnings received, and you must report that income on your tax return. As a freelancer or independent contractor, this form replaces a Form W-2 you receive working for a traditional employer.
Form 1099-MISC is also a catch-all for other types of income, such as prizes, awards, and fishing boat proceeds.
8. Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate
You don’t file Form W-4 with your annual tax return or send it to the IRS. Instead, you give it to your employer to instruct them on how much tax to withhold from your gross paycheck and remit to the taxing authorities. This form includes a worksheet to help you calculate the amount.
You file a new W-4 if you change employers. You can also file a new Form W-4 with your current employer if your circumstances change, for example, if you have a baby and want to claim an additional dependent.
9. Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement
People often confuse Form W-4 and Form W-2.  Your employer gives you Form W-2 at the end of the calendar year to show the total amount of tax they withheld from your paychecks.
Your employer also provides a copy of the Form W-2 to the IRS, Social Security Administration and some state taxing authorities. These taxing entities match up the amounts you claim as income with the amounts your employer reports they paid you. Because your employer sends this form to the IRS, you do not need to file it with your tax return.
The Bottom Line
No matter which forms you need to file, always make sure you use the correct tax year versions. For example, during the 2018 tax season, file your tax forms for the 2017 tax year. Also, keep in mind your personal situation may change, and you might need to file more or fewer forms each
