What is a triplicate book and how much does it cost in Kenya?
A triplicate book is a three-part form book, where each set has one original and two copies, used for any form that needs three copies such as invoices, delivery notes and purchase orders. Print Lion’s triplicate books are No Carbon Required (NCR) books, so writing on the top sheet copies through to the sheets below without any carbon paper. They come in four sizes, A4, A5, A6 and A7, in single colour or full colour, with 25, 50 or 100 sets per book, and every order includes printing, binding, serial numbering and perforation. Price depends on size, number of parts, sets per book and quantity. As an example, 10 A5 triplicate books with 50 sets each cost Ksh 5,250. Minimum order varies by size, from 1 book for A4 up to 8 for A7. Orders are ready in 1 to 2 days once your artwork is correct and approved, with delivery to all counties in Kenya or collection from our Nairobi office.

Keep artwork at least 150 DPI at final print size, with 2 mm bleed beyond the trim edge and text at least 10 mm from the trim edge.
