Green Safety Center Paper

August 11th, 2008 by GScher GScher

Worldwide Ticketcraft is now offering green safety center thermal paper to our customers. This paper is an excellent choice for customers who lack a modern ticketing system and are concerned about counterfeiters. The paper when ripped in half has a green layer that is very visual and difficult to duplicate. This feature is very popular in foreign countries where most venues lack barcode scanning equipment. To find out more about this product call 1-877-426-5754 and talk to a customer service representative.

This Back Is For You!

July 18th, 2008 by The Blue Room The Blue Room

If you’ve recently bought some DIY tickets from our online store, you may have noticed that we’ve been adding a few new things. One of these great new features is the ability and option to add a text disclaimer to the back of your tickets. We offer a sample disclaimer for you to use or edit, but the best thing in my opinion is that you can pretty much write whatver you want for the backs of your ticket! Whether it be some extra information, a personal “thank you”, maybe a thoughtful quote or tip, rules, schedules of upcoming events… whatever you can think of and fit with the allocated text amount. I think this is a great chance for you to take advantage of all that blank real estate on the back of your tickets. We offer this feature on most of our “Do It Yourself” products for the standard fee of $10 to cover the cost of printing on the back side and setup.

We’ve also started updating the front page of our store to feature great new products, bestsellers and special offers.

Let The Good Tickets Roll

July 9th, 2008 by The Blue Room The Blue Room

Our Do It Yourself Roll Tickets are NOW AVAILABLE @ the Online Store!

Roll tickets. They’re not too flashy, but these little guys sure come out rolling. Super practical, simple, easy to distribute and good for pretty much any occasion or event. They work as a fast economic admission solution, as concession coupons, on the spot raffling, plenty of other things, and I think the blood drive I went to last week could have really used them too for ordered number calling. Instead I spent a long hot afternoon watching volunteers chaotically sorting through scraps of paper scribbled with marker. Some disgruntled donors waiting in the heat with me for hours complained because their flimsy weathered numbered paper scrap got lost.  Others later couldn’t make out the handwritten numbers. They were raffling out a piece of artwork with another set of scraps. An unorganized mess for many reasons. Roll Tickets could have helped bring some order in my opinion. It was all for a good cause though, and as a bonus they also gave us free VIP tickets to an upcoming summer music festival. Check out Music Saves Lives for more opportunities like this to help give blood and possibly receive music in return.

Granted, unfortunately most blood drives won’t have crowds of people waiting to get in the bus, this one was heavily incentive driven, but Roll Tickets really are a great & simple solution for a lot of different events. Our new DIY Roll Tickets are even better because they let you customize them with your own text and choose from different color versions to organize your event. You can preview them live too! They’re printed on a quality thermal stock and feature distinct background patterns, helping to combat counterfiting. They’re available in two size choices for now, but more options will come later. There is a 1.1 x 2 single ticket and 2 x 2 double ticket with perforation. The numbers are large and bold for easy tracking. Take a look and try some out now.

Printer and Sheet Updates

June 30th, 2008 by The Blue Room The Blue Room

Ticket Sheet Die Templates have been added to the design guides page for reference viewing.

Our Desktop 4 Thermal Printer has been reintroduced to the online store with cutter and tray included as a new product option. This is an already equipped package that you can choose instead of the standard Desktop 4 Thermal Printer. There had been some confusion earlier because the tray & cutter combo were previously an option for adding to your printer order, but they can not be added separately to your existing printers. They must be ordered with the cutter from the factory before shipping.

See the new Desktop 4 Thermal Printer combo option here.

Our Tickets Have Good Karma

June 30th, 2008 by ECovitz ECovitz

I was watching the College Baseball World Series and couldn’t help but smile seeing six of the teams competing since they all use tickets produced by our company and fortunately both of the finalists Fresno State and Georgia just switched to our company this year which makes for an even better story.  There have been other cinderella stories in years past.  First the Chicago White Sox and then George Mason who did not win the whole thing but made some pretty good noise during March madness.  They switched to plastic ID cards instead of season ticket books and we haven’t heard from them since.  My hometown team the Boston Celtics won the championship and we printed their thermal tickets.  We also printed some tickets for various teams through print brokers so I cannot name names but many have gone on to the playoffs for the first time in years or made it to the finals of their respective leagues.  We seem to be the lucky charm for many.  If only the PGA, LPGA and Senior PGA tours stopped printing the previous year’s tournament winner on this years tickets, who knows what might happen…
