Ticket formats and printers
With TicketCreator you can design attractive tickets and print them in any format and size.
Importantly, it supports all Windows-compatible printers (e.g. laser printers or ink jet printers), so that you do not have to buy an expensive ticket printer but can use your regular printer to print tickets. Of course, you can also use all Windows-compatible thermal transfer printers or ticket printers.
Print your tickets on:
- Plain cardboard (optionally with cut marks)
- Blank perforated tickets or cards
- Customized ticket stocks from a printing company (recommended)
- Directly onto the brochure or invitation, or on labels
1.) Print tickets on cardboard
The easiest option is to print tickets on plain cardboard,
which is then cut. To facilitate the cutting TicketCreator
can print
cutting marks on the page and sort tickets in a way that cutting will generate
piles of consecutive tickets.

(optionally with stubs) in many formats.
Shelftagsupply.com offers
perforated card sheets.
UK:

(optionally with stubs) in many formats.

Another option are sheets with business cards, which are

3.) Customized ticket stock from your local printing company (recommended)
The most convenient option is to design your own ticket stock e.g. with your logo and contact a local printing company to get these blanks printed and perforated, but not numbered. Then use TicketCreator to print all event specific text (date, row/seat numbers, prices etc.) onto the tickets.
You can either use sheets with several tickets on one page separated by perforation or
print on single tickets or cards.

Using TicketCreator and customized, unnumbered ticket stocks
has many advantages:
- You are more flexible: Buy your customized stocks once and print tickets for various events as needed
- It's cheaper: Benefit from huge discounts on larger orders and pay shipping only once, instead of ordering small quantities for each event
- More comfort for your customers: Print row and seat numbers on the tickets not just sequential numbers. That saves you also the additional fees for numbering.
- Use different prices for the seats
- No left-over tickets, print only as many tickets as you need
- No hassle
- Get stocks in different colors and use these to distinguish sections or price categories.
- Easy setup of even difficult seating maps
Contact your local printing company or an online printing company and ask for an offer! You can even use the backside of the ticket for advertisement to finance the tickets.
Attention! Make sure the tickets are NOT COATED and NOT DIGITALLY PRINTED, otherwise you can not print on them. Tell the printing company that you want to print on the templates with a laser or ink printer. Also check your printer whether it can feed cardboard of the selected strength and format.
Examples of customized ticket stocks
Here are some examples of customized tickets in DIN A7 format (105
x 74mm, with 8 tickets on one DIN A4 sheets)
and in landscape format, but you can also use any other format and size you like.
4.) More options
As an alternative to classic tickets you can also print section, row and seat numbers directly onto the event brochure or invitation, or use labels to be put on the brochures or invitations.
