NCR pads, or No Carbon Required pads, are specialized stationery used for creating duplicate copies of written information without the need for carbon paper. They typically consist of multiple layers, with the top sheet being the original and subsequent sheets serving as copies. These pads are commonly used in businesses for invoices, receipts, and forms where multiple copies are needed.

Note cards are versatile stationery items used for writing down information, reminders, or messages. They are typically small, rectangular pieces of cardstock or paper that can be used for studying, presentations, or personal notes. Note cards can be blank or printed with lines, grids, or designs.
