Perforated Stock Specifications for DocuMatch
Perforated paper can cause problems if you don't select it
carefully. For your perforated stock to work well with
DocuMatch, we suggest you follow the specifications listed
below when discussing your future perforated stock orders
with your business forms supplier.
•
24 lb. bond only
•
Microperf should be 66 holes per inch (66 TPI) and have a
0.008 in. tie.
•
Your business forms supplier may locate the perf at any
location on the page, but locating perfs on fold lines may
be difficult due to tolerances. For best performance, you
should located the perf within the bottom folded third of
the page (at the bottom end of the page). Since fold lines
are approximately 3-5/8 in. from either end of the page,
your supplier should avoid putting perfs in the range of
3-1/2 to 3-3/4 in. from the top or bottom edge of the page
to assure clean-tearing perfs.

Another way to convey the required specifications to your
business forms suppliers is to simply show them the
