Multipart forms
The specifications for the dimensions of multipart forms are the same as those for single sheets and continuous paper. See Single sheets and Continuous paper for detailed information.
The form sheets of continuous multipart forms should be securely joined together along the left and right edges by crimping or, spot-gluing. For the best printing quality, use multipart forms joined with spot-gluing.
