Business Forms and Documents
Overview
Form Follows Function
Forms are an essential element in the management of every organisation and exist as part of an integrated business information system – resulting in the facilitation of efficient, timely and accurate management reporting.
An efficient business information system combines a series of basic functions – including the timely gathering of information, recording of activities and reporting of results – that are responsible for controlling an organisation’s operations or evaluating its performance. All business functions utilise a basic form that provides the source record for that function and contains critical information required for the effective functioning of other forms. This form may even be the source record for an entire cycle, containing data that is needed by other functions within the cycle. Every business, be it manufacturing, retail, wholesale or service, have two things in common:
- They must effectively manage the information generated by their day-to-day commercial activities
- They must establish standard ways of performing certain common activities to accomplish that goal
The common activities within every organisation are known as the ‘9 Key Operations’. These key operations are interdependent – each requiring the data and procedures provided by the others – with business forms providing an effective means of managing and communicating this information.
The professional and effective design of a form requires the thorough analysis of the system within which the form will be used – a detailed understanding of the various integrated elements and complexities of the business systems and operations is required in order to provide effective business forms.
Lithotech will design a cost-effective solution that streamlines your document flow, incorporating appropriate aesthetic and security features, while ensuring that your company image is maintained.
Less is More
Lithotech’s SmartPaper® solution offers a systematic review of an organisation’s forms and associated processes for the purpose of streamlining workflows, optimising efficiency and reducing costs. Through this process, forms are made to be more effective through improved design – resulting in a reduction of paper and an increased efficiency in the circulation of information.

Pressure Seal
Pressure Seal is a complete system with forms and equipment that are designed to work together to offer a flexible, reliable and economical package.
The special glue used in Lithotech’s pressure seal forms is endorsed by every major computer printer company worldwide. No consumables are needed. Pressure – exerted by rollers in the pressure seal machine – results in corresponding glue patterns on the form to stick together to form a secure, sealed envelope. The document is imaged, folded, sealed, and then becomes its own carrier – with guaranteed integrity and security, and without the added cost of consumables.
Pressure Seal is ideal for a number of applications, including:
- Pay advices
- Invoices
- Statements
- Tax certificates
- Notifications
Forms
Forms can be supplied in continuous or cut-sheet format. Lithotech only uses papers whose characteristics guarantee that the forms will remain stable throughout the finishing process, while still holding their sealing ability.
A number of fold types are available.

Our high-volume sealers offer the highest hourly-rated volumes on the market, with an ease of use for all operators; medium-volume sealers are exceptionally reliable and user-friendly workhorses for any remote installation; and our low-volume sealers are ideal for a small office environment where a small foot print and quiet running speeds are essential.
