Print your own custom-numbered raffle tickets for events, contests and fundraisers. They feature a perforated stub that is easy to tear off and keep as well as custom numbering on both the ticket body and the stub.

You don't need a graphic design degree or software to design your own unique tickets. There are templates available for free.

Printing

Custom printed event and raffle tickets are an easy, affordable way to promote your next fundraiser or special event. They are also a great way to keep track of attendees and offer a unique opportunity for sponsors to reach a captive audience.

Our digital or offset printing process produces full color event tickets that feature perforations for stubs, unique numbering and options for front and back printing. We can also include special messages, graphics or logos for your organization or event on both sides of the ticket.

Keeping images and cover backgrounds to a minimum will speed the print process and help conserve ink. Use the mouse-wheel to resize text and images. Print test sheets for proper set up and alignment. Add a few extra pages to your print job for testing. Once you have the print file set up correctly, you can then run the job in batches. See How to Print Tickets for more printing tips.

Design

It’s important to consider the design of your raffle tickets when planning an event. You want them to be eye-catching and appealing so that people will be encouraged to participate. You should also include key information on the tickets, such as the name of the host organization and the date of the drawing. Typically, each ticket includes a unique number for accountability purposes and to verify that participants are participating in the event.

Depending on the size of your event, you can purchase pre-printed raffle tickets from various printing companies or print them yourself using a template. These templates are usually available for download and use on the Internet. Some of them are even free, which makes them a great option for small organizations and fundraising events.

Raffle tickets should be printed in two halves so that one remains with the patron and the other is used to enter the raffle. The tickets should also be perforated to make it easy for them to cut along the lines.

Paper

Raffle tickets are used for a variety of purposes, including fundraising events. They are printed on high-quality paper and contain all necessary information for the event. They can also include the prizes available and their estimated retail value. They can also state whether there are age restrictions for participating in the raffle.

The ticket stubs are perforated, and the unique numbers on each one help you keep track of them. Some organizations try to save money by skipping the numbering, but this is often an unwise choice and will make your volunteers' job much harder.

To promote the raffle, you can distribute flyers in your community or place ads in local newspapers and magazines. You can also recruit volunteers to go door to door and ask people to participate. Another option is to set up a booth at local stores and art shows. These methods can be time-consuming, but are worth the effort to draw more participants and raise more funds.

Numbering

Numbering is a vital component of the ticket design process. This helps you keep track of all your tickets and makes it easier to determine which entrants are winners. In addition, sequential numbering can help you avoid duplication.

The first step is to determine the starting point of your numbering system. For example, you might want to begin with "001" or "0001." Then you need to create a data merge file that uses the parameters of your numbering project. You can use a software program such as Word or a more layout-oriented program like InDesign or Corel Draw to do the merge.

Once you've completed your data merge, you can print your raffle tickets. Just make sure that the numbers are legible and properly aligned.
