Classic layout
Carbon invoice template
Near-black industrial sans, heavy rules and a signal-orange banking panel.
What you see above is the whole document — every template stays visible whatever you pay. Making an invoice with Carbon itself is not part of the Free plan: Free covers 6 of the 60 templates, which are the 6 the generator offers, and the rest arrive with the paid plan when it launches.

How this sheet is set
Near-black Inter with a signal-orange edge four pixels wide down the banking panel. The heaviest rules in the classic family, and the closest the library comes to shouting.
The Classic layout
The arrangement everyone already knows how to read: a letterhead across the top, the two parties side by side under it, then the schedule and the totals. Nothing about it has to be explained to a recipient, which is why more of the library is built on this skeleton than on any other.
Who it suits
A safe default for almost any business, and the right choice when the invoice will be read by someone who has never seen one of yours before.
The voice a finance department reads without noticing it: neutral sans-serif type, plain hierarchy, enough weight to survive a photocopy, and no typographic opinion competing with the figures.
What it prints
Every template in the library prints the same set of facts — a template that dropped one would fail the library’s own contract test. What changes between them is where the facts sit and how they are set.
- Issuer and recipient, each with an address, an optional contact line, and a tax label and number you write yourself.
- Invoice number, issue date, service period, payment terms or an explicit due date, and the date of the service agreement.
- Your own references — purchase order, contract, cost centre — labelled the way your client labels them.
- Line items with a quantity, an optional unit, an optional period, a rate and an amount.
- A note field, and full banking details with an optional payment reference.
Anything you leave empty prints nothing at all — no blank labels, no placeholder rows.
