This example paper survey layout is a reference sheet that puts every PaperSurvey question type and formatting option on one printable document. It is meant for anyone exploring what a paper form can look like before designing their own, from teachers and HR teams to event organizers and academic researchers. The template runs to five pages and shows how each element renders when printed.

What this survey measures

Rather than a single topic, this template is a tour of the builder. It opens with all ten heading styles, the divider styles, and the panel, outline, and titled card callout boxes, followed by text formatting such as bold, italics, lists, and answer lines. The question types section then displays multiple choice and single choice questions, choice grids, a range scale, a Net Promoter Score question, a number field, and a short text box. Further sections demonstrate inline fields that share a row, date and time formats, image placement at full, half, and third width, and long answer boxes with and without writing lines.

How to use it on paper

Print the reference sheet to see how the styles and fields translate to paper, then mark the boxes and write in the answer lines with a blue or black pen the same way a respondent would. Collect the completed pages and scan or photograph them, and PaperSurvey reads the marks and handwriting for automatic results. It is a fast way to preview the full toolkit before committing to a real survey.

Customize this template

Most people use this as a starting point: swap in your own logo, adjust heading colors to match your branding, change scale wording, and delete the demonstration blocks you do not need. Add your own questions and the layout reflows automatically to fit.
