Formats

Tickets and vouchers are the only print job where the artwork is the smaller half of the work. What makes them function is the finishing: the numbering, the perforation, the binding and the features that let someone verify one at a glance.

Event tickets with stub

A perforated counterfoil carrying the same serial number as the ticket body. Your gate staff tear and keep the stub, the guest keeps the ticket, and at the end of the night the stubs tell you exactly how many people came through.

Raffle and draw books

Bound in books of 50 or 100 with a stiff back board, numbered in duplicate so the buyer’s half and the retained half always match. The standard format for fundraisers, lucky draws and society events.

Gift vouchers

Cash-value vouchers on heavier stock with a serial number, an expiry date and terms on the reverse. Tinted stock and a signature panel give your counter a way to tell a real one from a photocopy in two seconds.

Coupon and discount books

Perforated booklets where each coupon tears out separately. Useful for multi-visit offers, welcome packs and anything where you want the customer to come back several times rather than once.

Meal and entry coupons

Numbered coupons in books for canteens, banquet halls, corporate events and staff messes, so meals issued can be reconciled against coupons collected at the end of a shift or an event.

Passes and VIP entries

Heavier card with a punched lanyard hole, colour-coded by access level or by day. Numbered like a ticket so a lost pass can be voided rather than leaving a hole in your access control.

Sizes

Sizes below are the finished piece including the stub where there is one.

  • Standard event ticket, 180 x 70 mm – body plus a 40 to 50 mm tear-off stub. Enough room for event name, date, venue, category and a number on both halves.
  • Raffle ticket, 148 x 52 mm – the book format, printed several up and bound at one edge. Compact and economical in the thousands.
  • Gift voucher, DL 99 x 210 mm – the size that reads as a document rather than a coupon, and fits a DL envelope for gifting.
  • Voucher card, A6 105 x 148 mm – a postcard-sized voucher for counter handouts and parcel inserts, cheaper per piece than DL.
  • Coupon booklet, A6 or A5 pages – perforated at the spine edge so each coupon tears out cleanly and the stub stays in the book.
  • Pass, 100 x 140 mm – large enough to read across a room, with a punched hole for a lanyard.

Custom sizes are available. If the ticket has to fit an existing holder, envelope or scanner tray, send the measurement and we will work back from it.

Security and numbering options

Anything with a value printed on it will be copied if copying it is easy. These are the features that make that not worth someone’s time, in rough order of how much protection they add per rupee spent.

Sequential numbering

A unique serial on every piece, and the same number repeated on the stub so the two halves stay matched. You choose the starting number, the prefix and how many digits, which lets you keep separate ranges per event, per branch or per day.

Perforation

A micro-perforated line tears cleanly along the crease instead of ripping into the ticket. Coarse perforation is cheaper and tears unpredictably, which is how tickets end up torn through the serial number at the gate.

Unique barcodes and QR codes

Variable data printing puts a different barcode or QR on every single ticket, so a scanned ticket can be marked used and a duplicate is rejected at the door. Send us the code list or we will generate the sequence.

Tinted and patterned stock

A coloured or lightly patterned sheet is far harder to match on a home printer or a photocopier than plain white, and it costs almost nothing over a standard stock. The cheapest deterrent available, and the one most people skip.

Microprint and fine detail

Very fine lines and small type reproduce cleanly in print and turn into a grey smudge on a photocopy. Put a line of it along a border or under the value and a copied voucher gives itself away at the counter.

Signature and stamp panels

A panel left clear for a manager’s signature or a shop stamp. Low technology and highly effective, because a copied voucher carries a copied signature, and staff are checking for a wet mark rather than reading anything.

Making a voucher hard to copy and quick to verify

Two separate problems, and most vouchers we are asked to reprint failed at the second one. A security feature nobody checks protects nothing.

  • Number every voucher individually. One shared code printed across five thousand vouchers becomes unlimited liability the moment somebody posts a photo of it in a WhatsApp group. Unique serials mean you can void a range without cancelling the campaign.
  • Keep a log of which range went where. Numbers 1 to 500 to one branch, 501 to 1000 to another, and redemption tells you which location and which campaign actually worked.
  • Print the expiry on the face, not in the terms. An open-ended voucher is a liability that sits on your books indefinitely and turns up eighteen months later.
  • Put the value in figures and in words, the way a cheque does. It takes one line and it stops a 500 becoming a 5000 with a pen.
  • Give staff a two-second check. A signature panel, a shop stamp or a distinctive tinted stock can be verified without reading anything. If verification requires calling a manager, it will not happen on a busy evening.
  • Write the terms plainly on the back. One per customer, not exchangeable for cash, valid at named branches, minimum spend if there is one. Vague terms cause arguments at the counter and staff give in to end them.
  • Do not print cash value on plain white paper. Uncoated white stock with black text is what every home printer produces best. A tinted stock, a printed background pattern or a signature panel changes that immediately.

For tickets, the same logic applies at the gate: the stub number is your headcount and your reconciliation, so keep the numbering clear of dark artwork on both halves and colour-code categories or days so staff can sort by sight rather than by reading.

Paper stocks and finishes

Stock choice here follows the finishing rather than the look. A ticket has to take a perforation without tearing early, and anything written on at a counter has to be plain card, because ink will not dry on a glossy surface.

300gsm matte card

The standard for event tickets and voucher cards. Stiff enough to survive a pocket and a gate, low glare so printed detail stays readable, and it takes numbering, perforation and a die-cut without cracking at the crease.

120-150gsm for books

Raffle and coupon books are printed on lighter paper so a hundred leaves still bind and tear cleanly. Heavier stock in a book makes the spine bulky and the perforation harder to tear.

350gsm plain card

Untreated on both sides, so a name, a table number or a date can be written at the counter. Necessary for anything filled in by hand, since ink will not dry on a glossy surface.

Tinted and patterned stock

A coloured or lightly patterned sheet is harder to match on a home printer than plain white, and it costs almost nothing over a standard stock. The cheapest security feature available.

Glossy card

A shiny coated surface for vouchers and passes where a photograph or a strong colour is doing the work. Remember that pen will not dry on it, so keep glossy for pieces nobody writes on.

Die-cutting and rounded corners

Cutting is digital, so a shaped ticket, a rounded corner or a punched lanyard hole costs the same as a rectangle and carries no die charge. It is also what turns a card into a pass or a hang tag.

Urdu and bilingual tickets and vouchers

Terms, conditions and instructions reach far more people in Urdu, and for a voucher that is redeemed at a counter by a member of staff, it matters twice over.

  • Keep serial numbers in standard numerals. Whatever language the rest of the piece is in, the number has to be logged, scanned and read back over a phone. Urdu numerals on a serial cause errors in reconciliation and break barcode readability.
  • Put the terms in Urdu on the back. This is the text people actually argue about at the counter, and staff enforce terms far more confidently when the customer can read them too.
  • Send Urdu as outlines or a print-ready PDF with fonts embedded. Nastaliq letters join and reshape, so live text in a font we do not hold will break apart across a small ticket.
  • Working in InPage? Export to PDF and send that rather than the .inp file. If you only have the InPage layout, send it and we will rebuild it as a print file.
  • Give Urdu more line spacing. Nastaliq baselines slope, and terms set tight on a small piece will collide or drift into the perforation line.
  • Urdu runs right to left, so on a bilingual ticket the stub usually sits on the opposite edge from where it would on an English layout. Confirm the tear side before we perforate.

Sindhi, Pashto and Arabic follow the same rules. If you have the terms but not the layout, send them and we will typeset both languages.

Why businesses print their tickets and vouchers with Zarvex

The print is the easy part. What goes wrong on these jobs is numbering, tearing and reconciliation, so that is what we check first.

Numbering, done your way

You set the starting number, the prefix and the digit count, and the same serial prints on the ticket and its stub. Because numbering is done in the print file rather than by a machine, separate ranges per branch, per day or per campaign cost nothing extra.

Perforation and binding in-house

Micro-perforation that tears along the line rather than through your serial number, and books bound in fifties or hundreds with a stiff back board. Both are finishing operations, and both are where cheap jobs fall apart.

Security features that get checked

Tinted stock, printed background patterns, microprinted detail, signature panels and unique serial numbers, chosen around what your counter staff can verify in two seconds. We will tell you honestly when a feature is more cost than protection for your run size.

Every file gets checked

Numbering position against dark artwork, perforation clearance, barcode quiet zones and resolution. Numbering printed over a black panel is unreadable, and that is caught before the run, not after.

How ordering works

01. Pick format and finishing

Choose a product from the range above, then set the size, stock, numbering, perforation, binding, any security features and the quantity.

02. Send artwork and number range

Upload your artwork, or send the details on WhatsApp. Tell us the starting number, the prefix and whether ranges need splitting across branches or dates.

03. Approve the proof

You get a proof showing both halves with the numbering position and perforation line marked. Check the number format, the date and the terms before approving.

04. Print, number and deliver

Printed, numbered, perforated, bound and boxed in sequence, then delivered in Karachi or couriered nationwide. Files and number ranges stay on record for reorders.

Getting your artwork press-ready

Everything here is printed digitally, so there are no printing plates and no setup charge to spread across the run. A short run is priced fairly rather than carrying the cost of preparing a press, a custom shape adds nothing because cutting is digital too, and a different number, name or code on every piece costs the same as printing one design repeatedly. Quotes are in PKR.

QuantityCost per piece
25 – 100Highest per piece, though still viable
250Noticeably lower
500Best value on most jobs
1,000 and aboveQuoted per job

Numbering changes how you should plan the run, in ways that do not apply to any other print job.

  • Order the full range in one run. Printing 1 to 1000 now and 1001 to 2000 later is fine. What you cannot do is print 1 to 1000 twice, so decide the range before printing.
  • Leave a gap between ranges. Ending one batch at 1000 and starting the next at 1101 leaves room to reprint a damaged block without ever duplicating a number.
  • Split ranges by branch or date at the order stage. Because numbering is done in the print file rather than by a machine, this costs nothing extra and turns your redemption count into information about where and when.
  • Add a few percent for spoilage. Tickets get torn wrongly at gates and coupons get damaged. A small overage in the original run is cheaper than a separate short reprint.

Reorders are simple. Your file and the last number used stay on record, so a repeat run continues the sequence cleanly.

Tickets and vouchers by use

What has to be reconciled at the end decides the numbering, and where it is redeemed decides the security.

Events and exhibitions

Concerts, expos, food festivals and school functions. Numbered tickets with stubs for headcount, colour-coded by category or by day, and passes on a lanyard for staff and crew.

Fundraisers and welfare drives

Books of numbered raffle tickets in duplicate, so the seller keeps a matched counterfoil and the draw is auditable. Print the draw date and the prize on the face, not just in the terms.

Retail and online stores

Gift vouchers that carry cash value need a serial, an expiry and a feature staff can verify. Split number ranges per branch so redemption tells you where your customers are.

Banquets, caterers and hotels

Meal coupons issued per guest and collected at the counter give you a reconciliation at the end of the function instead of an argument about numbers with the client.

Salons, gyms and clinics

Perforated booklets where each visit tears out separately. It builds a reason to come back several times, and the remaining coupons tell you how far through the pack a customer got.

Factories, offices and canteens

Numbered meal coupons issued per shift and reconciled against what the canteen collected. Cheap to print and the simplest control there is on a large staff mess.

Quantities, numbering ranges and reorders

Ticket and voucher printing FAQs

Runs start at 25 pieces. Printing and numbering are both digital, so there is no plate charge and no numbering machine to set up, which is why a small batch for one function is priced sensibly. Cost per piece falls as the run grows, most noticeably at 250 and 500.

Yes to both. Tell us the starting number, any prefix you want such as a branch or event code, and how many digits. We can also run separate ranges within the same order, for example 001 to 500 for one branch and 501 to 1000 for another.

Yes, and it should. The same serial is printed on both halves so a torn stub always matches the ticket it came from. That match is what makes your gate count and your reconciliation reliable.

Micro-perforation uses smaller, closer cuts, so the ticket holds together in a pocket but tears in a clean straight line at the gate. Coarse perforation is cheaper and tears unpredictably, which is how tickets end up ripped through the serial number or torn in half by accident.

Yes, through variable data printing, where every piece carries a different code. It is what allows a scanned ticket to be marked used so a photographed duplicate is rejected at the door. Send us the code list as a spreadsheet, or we can generate the sequence. Test the codes with your actual scanner on the proof before the full run.

Nothing stops a copy being made, so the aim is to make the copy easy to spot. Unique serial numbers mean a duplicated voucher fails the moment two of the same number are presented, and that is the strongest protection of the lot. Tinted or patterned stock is far harder to match on a home printer than plain white. Microprinted fine detail turns to a smudge on a photocopier. A signature or stamp panel means a copy carries a copied signature. Used together these cost very little and give your counter something checkable in two seconds.

Yes, and on cash-value vouchers it is worth doing. A panel left clear for a manager’s signature or a shop stamp gives staff a physical thing to check rather than something to read, and it works even when a voucher has been copied cleanly.

Yes. Terms on the back in Urdu are worth doing, since that is the text people question at the counter. Keep the serial number in standard numerals whatever language the rest is in, because it has to be logged, scanned and read out over a phone. Send Urdu as outlines or a print-ready PDF, and export from InPage to PDF rather than sending the .inp file.

Numbered sets can be supplied loose in sequence, banded in fifties or hundreds, and we can bind along one edge where a book format is needed. Tell us how they will be issued and we will suggest how to pack them, since a gate team and an accounts office want them very differently.

Print-ready PDF is best, at 300 DPI in CMYK with 3 mm bleed and fonts outlined or embedded. Mark the numbering box and the perforation line clearly, or tell us where they go. We also accept AI, EPS, CDR from CorelDRAW, packaged INDD and layered PSD at final size, and number ranges or code lists as a spreadsheet.

Yes. Send the event or voucher details, your logo, the value and the terms you want printed, and our designers will build both the body and the stub, place the numbering box correctly and send it as a proof before anything is printed.

Across most of them, and the list keeps growing. The tickets and vouchers we print regularly go to events and exhibitions, fundraisers and welfare drives, retail and online stores, banquets, caterers and hotels, salons, gyms and clinics and factories, offices and canteens.

The trade matters less than what the job has to do. Two businesses in completely different lines often need the same size, stock and finish, and two shops in the same trade often need entirely different ones. If your line of work is not named above, tell us what the tickets and vouchers have to do and where they will be handled, and we will tell you what suits it.

Yes. Orders are couriered anywhere in Pakistan, including Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Hyderabad and Quetta, and delivery within Karachi can be arranged directly. Numbered stock is boxed in sequence so your ranges arrive in order.
