Product overview
One number linking purchaser and draw stub.
A raffle ticket pairs a participant portion with a retained draw stub. Matching numbers connect the two, while writing fields capture the details required by the draw process. A booklet organizes distribution ranges; it must not turn two matching portions into two counted tickets. Terms belong on the usable portion and require the organizer’s approval.
Paired records
The purchaser's portion and retained stub carry the same controlled identifier.
Participant fields
The draw stub provides space for the details required by the organizer.
Booklet sequence
A bound group keeps a defined number range together for distribution and reconciliation.
Specifications & materials
Define Matching Numbers and Tickets per Book
Start with overall width × height in mm; stub and binding margins. Then compare the material and construction choices below.
Use these options to prepare your specification. Material grades, weights, thicknesses and feasible dimensions are confirmed for the quoted construction. A paper weight is not a finished thickness or a strength rating.
| Parameter | Options or Information to Supply | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Finished dimensions | Compact design example: 150 × 70 mm; A6: 105 × 148 mm | Reference formats or explicitly labeled design examples. Select by the use cases below; custom trim and final construction belong in the quotation. |
| Format and component count | Tickets per book or bundle; number of books and total tickets | Count issued credentials by batch; matched ticket and stub form one unit, with inclusive serial ranges and voids listed separately. |
| Paper | Writable stock selected for numbering and tearing | Keep contact fields usable after all finishing steps. |
| Numbering | Start and end, prefix or suffix, and duplicate stub number | Agree handling of skipped records and reconcile total quantities. |
| Perforation and books | Tear line, binding edge and tickets per book | Check that removing one ticket does not detach or obscure the retained information. |
| Printed content | Organizer details, draw information and approved terms | The organizer supplies and approves the applicable wording before production. |

Keep the Participant Ticket Paired With the Draw Stub
Focus the review on matched numbers, writable fields and clean stub separation.
01 / SELECTION CHECK
Generate both numbers from one source
Agree start, end, digit format and duplicate rules. Check ticket-stub pairs and range boundaries from the same data set. Two independently prepared sequences can look correct while being mismatched.
02 / SELECTION CHECK
Test the retained stub and book
Place participant fields on the intended portion and trial separation. Fix pieces per book and attachment edge, then check that removal preserves the draw record and the remaining booklet.
Serial control & duplicate-ticket planning
Keep each sold stub tied to one traceable number in the draw process
Raffle tickets often use a detachable stub and duplicate serial number. Define the numbering sequence, which portion is retained, and how sold, void and unsold tickets are reconciled before the ticket file is approved.
Compare dimensions and usable space
Published reference formats and labeled design examples, with their selection notes.
Compact design example · 150 × 70 mm
Compact design example; allocate both matched number fields and a usable participant-information area.
Read every format’s selection note
- Compact design example: 150 × 70 mm. Compact design example; allocate both matched number fields and a usable participant-information area.
- A6: 105 × 148 mm. More space for writing fields and draw terms; a matching stub still belongs to the same issued ticket.
- Buyer ticket
- Perforation / duplicate stub
- Matching serial number
Select the material by its finished behavior
Use paper or card that suits writing, tearing and distribution. An uncoated writing field is useful for participant details; a protected face changes ink acceptance. Select the converted stock around readable terms, clean perforation and scan performance rather than a blanket heavy-card specification.
Production checks that prevent avoidable rework
Approve sequence boundaries
State the first and last number, number of tickets and any intentionally omitted values. Verify that each buyer ticket matches its retained stub.
Check tear behavior and legibility
Test the perforation on a sample and keep the serial away from the tear line. Confirm that both matching numbers remain readable after separation.
Reconcile printed quantities
Count and bundle tickets by the agreed sequence. Define how spoilage, voids and unused tickets are recorded by the organizer.
Use-case selection
Choose a configuration for the job it has to do
Community prize draw
Use a simple sequential number and duplicate stub with space for buyer details only when the organizer's process requires it.
Trade-off: Personal-data collection creates a handling and retention responsibility.
Multi-prize raffle
Keep draw rules and prize references clear, while preserving one unambiguous number per entry.
Trade-off: Complex rules may require a separate terms page.
Numbered event bundle
Group tickets into known ranges and label bundles so distribution can be tracked.
Trade-off: Range labels must match the actual sequence inside each bundle.
Problem → cause → solution
Resolve the failure points before production
The draw stub cannot be matched to its holder
Why it happens: Number sequences on the two portions were generated separately.
How to prevent it: Use one identifier record for both portions and reconcile the first, last and intermediate paired samples.
Serial ranges overlap between batches
Why it happens: A new file was generated without a controlled issued-range manifest.
How to prevent it: Record start and end identifiers for each batch. Reconcile duplicates, omissions and any deliberately voided numbers before pack-out.
Alternative formats
When another construction is a better fit
| Alternative | Structural difference | Selection trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Event ticket | Admission credential with a check-in identifier. | Optimized for access control rather than a retained draw record. |
Sampling & production
Choose a Sample That Answers Your Main Concern
A structural sample, a print proof and a finished sample answer different questions. Confirm the sample scope before approval. Free samples are prepared within 15 days; courier arrangements and transit time are separate.
Structure and material sample
Review paper and numbering with the proposed dimensions and component count. Agree whether the sample uses production materials or substitutes. An unprinted construction sample does not approve printed color.
Print and artwork proof
Review representative artwork at finished size on the agreed proof condition. Check numbering. A screen proof cannot establish physical feel or the performance of the finished assembly.
Complete finished sample
Assess matched numbers, writable fields and clean stub separation with the specified components and finishing present. Record the approved revision and any differences to resolve before production.

- 04
Extend trim artwork by 3 mm unless the approved template specifies otherwise. Keep structural, folding and binding clearances separate from trim bleed.
- 05
Identify named spot colors or physical references and the intended substrate. Agree proof acceptance and keep finishing separations distinct. A screen PDF does not approve printed color.
Engineering & purchasing FAQ
Questions Before Ordering Raffle Ticket
How do matched ticket and stub numbers stay paired?
Use one controlled source and an approved mapping for both locations. Check representative pairs and range boundaries on the production reference. State whether leading zeros and repeated booklet numbers have any role.
Why specify tickets per booklet?
Book quantity differs from individual ticket quantity. It also determines distribution ranges, attachment and the retained stub arrangement. Give both counts so production and organizer records describe the same order.
Can the stub include handwritten contact details?
Reserve a writing area and specify the pen or entry method. Review the finished surface after printing and coating so the information can be recorded clearly.
Which sample should I request first?
Start with the uncertainty that could change the specification: matched numbers, writable fields and clean stub separation. If the concern is physical, request the relevant material or functional sample. If it is print appearance, agree a suitable proof. Confirm the sample scope before approval. Free sample preparation is completed within 15 days; courier arrangements and transit time are separate.
How should I state quantities for a quote?
Use tickets per design and numbering sequence, with books stated separately. Separate versions and give a delivery destination and required arrival date. This lets the quote distinguish the production quantity, packing and shipping scope.
