NCR Forms

Since the Academic world is not yet paperless, paper forms are still in use here at Macalester.

Document Services has 2, 3, and 4 part NCR paper available.

Document Services also does padding for single sheet forms in whatever thickness is needed.

Postcards

Postcards are a perfect way to share information. They are inexpensive and very effective

Postal regulations require postcards to be a minimum 3½ inches high by 5 inches wide to a maximum 4 ¼ inches high by 6 inches wide

Postcards must be at least .007 inches thick so most are printed on cardstock.
