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:
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 offers a full range of solutions for the confidential communication of payroll information – from the most basic to the most streamlined system, we have a solution to suit your requirements.
Pay advices can be customised to suit your specific requirements.
Continuous wage envelopes can be processed through a continuous printer and offer a pocket for enclosing the wage payment as well as a self-seal glue strip for secure sealing.
Continuous pay advices are multi-part forms that facilitate simultaneous completion of the recipient’s name and address on the outside and confidential payroll information on the inside.
Perfect for small-volume applications, ‘Peel-&-Seal’, our unique laser payslip, incorporates an adhesive that is protected by silicone-release paper, which, when removed, facilitates easy and secure sealing.
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:
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.
