Crash Numbering: Mechanical Sequential Numbering for Multi-Part Forms
Crash numbering is a traditional and reliable method of applying sequential numbers to printed materials, particularly suited to multi-part forms and documents where the impression needs to transfer through multiple layers simultaneously.

What Is Crash Numbering?
Crash numbering uses a dedicated device fitted with a metal numbering head that physically stamps each sheet as it passes through the machine. The term 'crash' refers to the impact of the metal head against the sheet, which can transfer ink through multiple layers of a form set.
Common Applications
Multi-part NCR (no-carbon-required) forms
Invoice books and receipt pads
Work order forms and service tickets
Controlled security documents
How It Differs From Digital Numbering
Crash numbering is the preferred method when working with multi-part form sets where the impression must carry through to underlying sheets. Digital numbering is better suited to single-sheet applications and larger volume runs.
