Perforation and Numbering Options

Choose from:

• None

• Perforation Only

• Numbering Only

• Perforation and Numbering

Perforation

Perforation creates a detachable ticket section that can be removed cleanly during admission or redemption. The stub may be used for:

• Entry verification

• Raffle drawings

• Food or drink redemption

• Coat checks

• Parking validation

• Attendance records

• Customer receipts

• Prize or activity vouchers

Keep important text, logos, QR codes, and other essential elements safely away from the perforation line.

Sequential Numbering

Sequential numbering gives each ticket a unique reference number. This supports organized distribution, ticket matching, sales reconciliation, and recordkeeping.

Numbering positions:

• Top

• Center

• Bottom

Numbering colors:

• Black

• Red

• White

Select a numbering color that contrasts clearly with the artwork. Black is generally more visible on light backgrounds, while white works better on dark backgrounds. Confirm the final placement and appearance on the digital proof.

Sequential numbering supports ticket management but does not independently prevent copying or guarantee authenticity.

Event Ticket Design Recommendations

For a clear and professional ticket design:

• Give the event name strong visual priority.

• Make the date, time, and venue easy to locate.

• Use sufficient contrast between text and background graphics.

• Organize sponsor logos without overcrowding the layout.

• Reserve a clear area for sequential numbering.

• Keep essential information away from trim and perforation lines.

• Use readable font sizes.

• Check all dates, addresses, prices, and contact details carefully.

• Design the reverse side when selecting two-sided printing.

• Keep supplied QR codes and barcodes large enough to scan.

If your tickets include a barcode or QR code, test it at the intended printed size before uploading the artwork. Scannability can be affected by resolution, contrast, size, coating, artwork placement, and the scanning system used.

Coating and Writability

High Gloss UV coating may be available for compatible paper and printing configurations. It adds a glossy appearance and additional surface protection, but the coated area cannot be reliably written or printed on after production.

Choose 14 PT Uncoated Cover when handwriting, stamping, signing, or adding information after printing is required. Coating availability may depend on the selected stock, quantity, and printed-side option.

Artwork and File Preparation

Prepare your event-ticket artwork according to these requirements:

• Include 0.125" bleed on all sides.

• Keep important text and logos inside the recommended safe area.

• Keep essential elements clear of the perforation line.

• Reserve sufficient space for the selected numbering position.

• Prepare the artwork at the selected finished size.

• Use approximately 300 DPI at full size for raster images.

• Use CMYK color mode whenever possible.

• Convert fonts to outlines in compatible vector files.

• Embed linked images before uploading.

• Accepted formats: PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, JPG, and PNG

• Maximum upload size: 75 MB

If your file exceeds 75 MB, contact us for an FTP upload link. Alternatively, export the finished design as a high-quality JPG or PNG to reduce the file size.

AI and PSD templates are available for supported ticket sizes. To request a template, contact us with your order number, selected size, and product type.

Digital Proof and File Review

Your uploaded file will be reviewed within 24 hours. The review checks for common production concerns such as:

• Incorrect dimensions

• Missing bleed

• Low-resolution images

• Unsafe trim margins

• Perforation conflicts

• Numbering conflicts

• Unoutlined fonts

• Incorrect orientation

Before production, you will receive a digital proof by email. Carefully review:

• Event name

• Venue information

• Ticket price and admission type

• Spelling and punctuation

• Front and back artwork

• Perforation placement

• Numbering position and color

• QR codes or barcodes

• Sponsor information

• Orientation and overall layout

Production begins only after the proof has been approved.

Production Time

Standard production requires approximately 3–4 business days after artwork and digital-proof approval. Shipping transit time is additional.

Artwork corrections, revised proofs, delayed approval, or certain finishing combinations may extend the completion date.
