Instant Lottery Tickets

 
 

Pollard Banknote is an industry leader in creating products that help lotteries market successful instant tickets to their players. Our combination of lithographic, flexographic, letterpress, and silkscreen printing systems brings virtually every ticket concept to life.

Pollard Banknote’s diverse array of instant ticket options includes:

Multi-scene Tickets

Pollard Banknote can offer multiple scenes per book. Many clients find that multi-scene tickets enhance sales because players want to collect the entire series and/or try their luck on more than one scene.

Color Pulsing

Pollard Banknote can print alternating background colors with the same design in a variety of ways within the same book of tickets, or we can divide a run of tickets into different colors. Shifting colors in this way enlivens base games and prolongs their appeal in the marketplace. This approach has proven popular with staple games like bingo, crossword, and keno.

Die-cut Tickets

Pollard Banknote has offered tickets in a variety of die-cut shapes since 1989. Through considerable research and development, we’ve mastered the technology necessary to produce complex, customized shapes. We can manufacture virtually any shape required, including hearts, dollar signs, Christmas trees, Christmas stockings, jukeboxes, footballs, ladybugs, cloverleaves, roulette wheels, flower pots, lips, treasure maps, skillets, rabbits, and cars.

Scented Tickets

Pollard Banknote can infuse distinctive scents into the scratch-off portion of its tickets. These scents complement the uniqueness of specialty game tickets, quickly communicating the game’s theme to players. Scented tickets inject fun into the instant game category and freshen their appeal with players as a novelty item. We can reproduce virtually every scent imaginable. We’ve printed Mother’s Day tickets with a perfume scent, Valentine’s Day tickets with a cinnamon scent, Christmas tickets with a peppermint scent, Hot Cakes tickets with a maple syrup scent, Coffee Break tickets with a coffee scent. The list goes on and on….

Translucent Latex

Pollard Banknote is widely known for having patented the best translucent marking system in the business, used in the manufacture of tickets with intricate game styles like bingo and crossword. Games that were previously too complex for a game card suddenly became simple and fun to play. Today, our marking system continues to be heralded as the industry standard in instant gaming.

Pouched Tickets

Pollard Banknote has supplied attractive pouches to lotteries since 1988. An innovative marketing tool, pouches offer lotteries several key advantages: they enhance instant games and broaden their appeal, they shift players to higher price points, they allow for value-added games, and they promote gift giving. We can provide different types of pouch material, including shrink-wrap or transparent cellophane wrap, metallized foil Mylar with a clear back, and paper with a clear back. The foil pouches can accept printing of high-quality graphics, catching the eye of impulse purchasers. And by folding tickets – a capability that greatly enhances the use of pouches – we can offer multiple single tickets within a pouch of manageable size.

Scored Tickets

Pollard Banknote can manufacture tickets with a score (indented) line anywhere on a ticket. Many clients have successfully used this option to transform lottery tickets into greeting cards, reinforcing the notion that instant tickets make ideal gifts. To date, we have printed Christmas cards, Valentine’s Day cards, and Mother’s Day cards for lotteries around the world.

Play Area on Ticket Back

Pollard Banknote can print a game’s graphics on the front of the ticket, putting the play area on the back. This printing technique allows for stunning graphics on the front, uncluttered by play areas – an excellent option whenever a ticket theme demands maximum visual impact.

Multiple Games in the
Same Ticket Pack

Pollard Banknote can manufacture multiple games in the same production run. This method of printing offers a lottery and its players even more variety at retail.

 

Multiple Play Formats

Working with our clients, we’ve developed a multitude of play formats designed to provide players with exciting options, including bingo, crossword, maze games, game show variants, cribbage, casino games, keno, and tic-tac-toe. Coupled with our own custom-designed fonts, this productive collaboration with our customers facilitates the creation of virtually any play format lotteries require. These compelling alternatives go a long way toward motivating players to play and giving them a rewarding gaming experience.

Spectrum Process Printing

Pollard Banknote has developed an innovative, multi-color approach to overprint designs. Our Spectrum Process Printing allows us to draw shapes and motifs with different color values, and to mix these colors – creating a multitude of additional possibilities. This technique means Pollard Banknote can offer dynamic designs involving photographs, in addition to providing the industry standard solid-shaped overprints.

Multiple Play Areas

In addition to graphically appealing overprints, Pollard Banknote’s finishing process accommodates multiple play areas with no restrictions on placement. Multiple play areas continue to excite players by making higher price point tickets possible and by conveying value for the price paid.

Holographic Tickets

Clients know they can help their tickets really stand out in retail settings with Pollard Banknote’s holographic tickets, which feature striking holographic images. Whether introducing new games, or distinguishing specialty games such as holiday or anniversary editions, our holographic tickets are a viable, effective choice.

Fluorescent Inks

Pollard Banknote offers a variety of striking fluorescent and metallic colors that help tickets stand out at retail locations and promote impulse purchases.
