Organizing a raffle is an easy way to raise money for a group or event. But there are a few things you need to consider before starting to print your raffle tickets.

The first thing is to decide what kind of paper you want to use. You should also keep in mind the size of your ticket.

Paper

As a marketing tool, raffle tickets give participants the opportunity to explore more about your organization and its products or services. They are a great way to raise money for charity and events. If you want to print your own raffle tickets, you can do so using a variety of different formats and styles.

Usually, the tickets are printed on premium cardstock with an application of a protective coating. They are also available with a perforated stub and custom numbering. Whether you are looking for an economy ticket or a deluxe ticket, you can find them online at affordable prices.

Always print a few test sheets before printing the full job. This will help you ensure everything is lined up properly and looks as it should. Also, you should keep the cover and ticket pages to a minimum to speed up printing time. This will also conserve ink and toner cartridges. Make sure you have a good guillotine paper cutter or scissors on hand to cut the sheets into individual tickets.

Design

When it comes to designing a raffle ticket, it’s important to keep several factors in mind. The first is the paper type and quality. A better-quality paper leaves a more professional impression and may help deter fraud. It’s also wise to choose a design that complements the prize, as this will help attract potential participants.

A good design should also make use of visuals to draw attention and deliver the necessary information. The text should be clear and easy to read, but be careful not to overdo it. The serial number is another important element of the ticket, as it helps to track tickets and identify the winner.

Lastly, consider the size of the ticket and whether it will include a stub. Some tickets are designed to be rolled up, while others have a small stub that can be torn off. You can find different types of raffle tickets online and compare manufacturing prices to make the best choice for your event.

Numbering

Raffle tickets can be printed with unique numbers on both the stub and body. This is useful for keeping track of entries and reducing fraud. The unique number is also helpful in identifying the winning ticket. Numbering is typically done during the litho or digital printing process, but can also be added later.

To create numbered raffle tickets, start by designing your ticket template and leaving space for the numbers. Then use your desktop publishing software to insert a data merge field for each number. For example, Word 2016 can be used to automatically generate a sequence of sequential numbers. After you have inserted all of the numbers, perform a quality check to ensure that they are legible and properly aligned. Finally, print the document. You can also create a PDF output file by using Number Pro. This will save you time and money by avoiding manual numbering. This is an excellent option if you have limited production resources or need to produce large volumes of tickets.

Printing

As personal computers became more prevalent, software that allowed people to print their own tickets became available. This made it easy to create unique designs and customize them for individual events. Until recently, however, printing large quantities of tickets was still expensive. Online ticket printing sites have changed that.

One of the biggest challenges when designing a raffle ticket is choosing a numbering system. There are two main options: printing the numbers directly on the tickets, or putting them in a separate part of the ticket that can be torn off later. The latter option allows for faster printing, but it’s important to choose a numbering system that’s easy to read and easy to use.

Our full color Raffle and Fundraising tickets are printed on 80gsm cardstock, with a perforated stub and custom numbering (usually starting at 0001). They are a great way to promote your event. They are a popular choice for schools, clubs, non-profits, fundraisers and more.
