In a busy restaurant, café, or retail shop, bond roll paper is essential — even if it goes by a dozen different names. Whether it’s used in kitchen printers, cash registers, or order pads, this dependable paper is key to keeping things running smoothly.
🧾 What Do You Call It? Bond Roll Name Variations
Different industries use different names for the same product — but they all refer to bond rolls used with impact printers. Here are a few:
Kitchen Paper
Used in hot-line kitchens to print food orders clearly and quickly.
Chit Paper
In bars and restaurants, these are the small slips showing order details for staff or customers.
Impact Paper
Refers to the use in impact printers, which strike the paper to print.
Carbon Paper
Classic multi-ply rolls that use carbon layers to create duplicate or triplicate copies.
Rough Paper
A casual term describing its plain, matte finish compared to glossy thermal rolls.
📄 Understanding Ply Types: 1-Ply, 2-Ply, 3-Ply
Knowing your ply helps avoid printer issues and ensures your records are accurate.
- 1-Ply – A single sheet for basic printing needs, ideal for registers and receipt printers.
- 2-Ply – Two sheets: one original, one copy. Common in kitchens or order-taking counters.
- 3-Ply – Triplicate copies for more complex workflows — think cashier, kitchen, and manager.
💡 Pro Tip: Choose the ply based on your business’s need for duplicates and where the bond roll is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure which bond roll to choose for your printer or what the different names mean? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get from restaurants and retail businesses across Canada:
What’s the difference between 1-ply, 2-ply, and 3-ply bond rolls?
1-ply rolls are single-sheet and ideal for standard receipt printing. 2-ply includes a yellow or pink copy for duplicate records. 3-ply produces three copies—great for multi-station service like cashier, kitchen, and manager use.
Is bond roll the same as chit paper or kitchen paper?
Yes—these terms are used interchangeably. “Chit paper” often refers to small order slips in bars or restaurants, while “kitchen paper” is used for printing food orders. They all fall under the bond roll category.
Can I use multi-ply rolls in any receipt printer?
No. Only impact printers can use 2-ply or 3-ply bond rolls. If you’re using a thermal printer, you’ll need thermal paper instead. Always check your printer type before ordering.
