Raffle Tickets

Raffle tickets are available in virtually any type of paper, however, our default, off-the-shelf paper of choice for blank raffle ticket stock is 67 lb Vellum Bristol card stock (for pastel colors) and 65 lb Opaque (for bright colors such as fuchsia an electric yellow).

These paper choices print well using both inkjet and laserjet printers, are sufficiently heavy enough for normal ticket handling, and are cost effective.

How Tickets Are Perforated

All of our raffle ticket stock is perforated between ticket portions and tear off stubs at the standard rate of 12 holes per inch. This has proven to be the most suitable rate of perforation so that the tear off stub does not separate too easily, while rendering the whole ticket durable enough under normal use.

The perforation between the tickets themselves, (that is, how they are separated from each other on the overall sheet of paper) is finely perforated at the rate of 30 holes per inch; this is commonly referred to as being "micro-perforated". This rate of perforation assures that the tickets can be separated neatly and easily prior to distribution, while staying together under normal printer handling.

Edge-To-Edge Printing

One noteworthy addition to our raffle ticket lineup is the 5-up, 1 stub format. There is a 1/2" micro-perforated border along the perimeter of the entire ticket sheet. Most of today's laserjet and inkjet printers do not permit software to print to within 1/4" of the edge of paper. The 1/2" border area forces your printer into "thinking" that the paper is larger than it is, effectively enabling you to print edge-to-edge using your regular printer.
