This 8.5 x 14 Rainbow Max carbonless paper is a 3 part, pre-collated legal size stock built for high-volume form printing on offset and digital equipment. Each carton contains 5000 sheets packed as 10 reams, collated CB white, CF canary (yellow), and CF pink, ready to run straight from the carton.
Rainbow Max carbonless papers are manufactured from quality non tinted pulps resulting in stable print performance, excellent image density, and a long shelf life.
Features and Benefits
Rainbow Max carbonless paper is manufactured from non tinted pulps resulting in a clean, attractive sheet with consistent color from first sheet to last in the carton. The non tinted pulps give this stock a brighter base than dyed-fiber alternatives, translating to sharper contrast on printed forms and multi-part documents.
Excellent image density on Rainbow Max carbonless papers holds across both offset printing press and laser equipment. The CB (coated back) and CF (coated front) surfaces transfer cleanly under writing pressure and impact printing alike, and the imaging stays stable over time. This long shelf life means you can use and stock cartons of 5000 sheets without worrying about degraded transfer quality before the sheets reach the press.
Rainbow Max carbonless papers are manufactured in facilities certified under ISO 14001:2015 for their environmental management system, covering waste, energy, and emissions controls across the production process. That certification applies to the full manufacturing operation, not a single product line.

8.5 x 14 Carbonless Papers for Business Forms
The 8.5 x 14 legal size format gives you extra vertical length compared to standard 8.5 x 11 letter sheets, which is why these carbonless papers are the preferred choice for legal documents, contracts, and forms that need more line space. Rainbow Max carbonless papers in this 3 part configuration are commonly in use for invoices, work orders, purchase orders, and multi-part legal forms where each party keeps a color-coded copy.
The 3 part collation (white, canary, pink) is the standard color sequence for business forms on the market. White serves as the original, the canary (yellow) copy goes to accounting or internal records, and the pink copy is retained as a file or customer copy. The 5000 sheets per carton keep stock on hand for longer runs without reordering mid-job.
If your shop also runs 8.5 x 11 forms, Rainbow Max carbonless paper is available in letter size across 2 part and 3 part configurations in the Rainbow Max carbonless paper collection.
3 Part Reverse and Straight Collation
3 part carbonless papers are collated in either straight or reverse order, and the distinction matters when you're setting up a job on an offset printing press or on digital equipment. Straight collation runs CB white on top, CF canary in the middle, and CF pink on the bottom. That's the standard arrangement for most offset printing runs and the sequence this carton of 5000 sheets ships in.
Part reverse collation flips the stack so the pink CF sheet sits on top and the white CB is at the bottom. Part reverse is common on laser and digital equipment where the printing path feeds from the bottom of the tray. Check your feed direction before ordering, because running straight-collated stock through a bottom-feed laser can reverse your copy sequence.
If you need part reverse 8.5 x 14 carbonless papers, the Rainbow Max line offers reverse-collated 3 part stock as a separate SKU. Both collation options are available in 8.5 x 14 and 8.5 x 11 sizes across the carbonless paper collection.
Carbonless Paper 2 Part vs. 3 Part
The difference between carbonless paper 2 part and 3 part is how many copies your form produces in a single pass. Carbonless paper 2 part stock gives you an original (CB white) and one duplicate (CF canary or pink), which works for receipts, delivery confirmations, and any form where two copies are enough.
3 part carbonless papers add a third sheet, so one writing or printing pass produces three copies on separate sheets simultaneously. That third copy makes 3 part the standard for invoices, work orders, and purchase orders where the original, an internal record, and a customer copy all need to be produced at once on an offset or digital printing press.
Rainbow Max carbonless papers are available in both carbonless paper 2 part and 3 part configurations across 8.5 x 14 and 8.5 x 11 sizes. If your forms only need a duplicate, the 2 part option reduces stock cost per sheet. If your workflow routes copies to three destinations, the 3 part in 5000 sheets per case is the right match. Browse carbonless colors for additional sheet configurations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Rainbow Max Carbonless Paper?
Rainbow Max carbonless paper is a pressure-sensitive, multi-part form stock manufactured from quality non tinted pulps. It transfers images through a chemical reaction between the CB and CF surfaces when pressure is applied by a pen, impact printer, or offset printing press. The result is clean, legible copies on each sheet without carbon sheets or ribbons.
What Size Is 8.5 x 14 Legal Carbonless Paper?
Legal size carbonless paper measures 8.5 x 14 inches, providing two additional inches of vertical space compared to 8.5 x 11 letter size. The 8.5 x 14 format is standard for legal agreements, contracts, and any document that requires more line space than letter stock allows.
How Many Sheets Are in a Carton of This Rainbow Max Carbonless Paper?
This carton contains 5000 sheets, packaged as 10 reams. In the 3 part collation (CB white, CF canary, CF pink), that works out to approximately 1,667 complete sets per case.
Can Rainbow Max Carbonless Paper Run on a Laser Printer?
Yes. Rainbow Max carbonless papers are designed for both offset and digital equipment, including laser printers. Check your laser's feed direction to determine whether you need straight or part reverse collation for correct copy order.
What Does Part Reverse Mean on Carbonless Papers?
Part reverse refers to the stacking order of sheets in a set of carbonless papers. In a standard (straight) 3 part set, the white CB sheet sits on top. In a part reverse set, the pink CF sheets are on top and the white CB is at the bottom. Part reverse is typically used on laser and digital equipment that feeds from the bottom of the tray.

Yes. Rainbow Max is manufactured in facilities certified under ISO 14001:2015 for their environmental management system, covering waste, energy, and emissions controls. Browse the Rainbow Max carbonless paper collection for the full range of sizes and configurations.
