Form Design

Custom Form Design

The form you need can be found at Apperson, whether it’s one of over 80 that we carry in stock, or a form that we custom design for you. With 50+ years of precision form design and printing behind us, we confidently place an unconditional guarantee on every form we produce.

Our forms are designed for use with a variety of scanners. Many are fully compatible with popular Optical Mark Read scanners, such as Scantron™ and NCS Pearson™. We also design test forms for image scanners using Teleform™ software by Cardiff. This technology allows our clients to digitally capture handwritten answers and other open-response data.

Custom Form Design -- Step by Step

1. Your account representative will perform a needs analysis by asking you questions like the ones below:

  • What type of test-scoring machine will scan the form?
  • What is the maximum number of questions the tests will have?
  • What response pattern is desired?
  • What identification fields will be required?
  • Do you want your form to be pre-slugged with respondent identifiers?
  • Will any branding/logos be required on the form?

2. Our composition department will lay out the answer sheet and prepare a proof, usually within three to seven days, depending on the complexity of the form design. Once approved, the artwork will be submitted to our production facility for printing.
