The manufacturing process for fan-fold lottery tickets typically involves the following steps:
Design: The first step in the manufacturing process is to design the tickets. This may involve deciding on the layout, colors, and fonts to be used, as well as any security features that will be included on the ticket.
Printing: The tickets are then printed on a continuous sheet of paper using specialized printing equipment and inks. This may include the use of metallic inks, invisible inks, or other specialized printing techniques.
Security features: After the tickets have been printed, any security features that have been included in the design are added to the ticket. This may include holograms, watermarks, microprinting, or other measures.
Perforation or cutting: The tickets are then perforated or cut into individual tickets using a machine.
Quality control: Before the tickets are released for sale, they are typically subject to quality control checks to ensure that they meet the required standards. This may include checks for defects, accuracy, and security features.
Distribution: Once the tickets have passed quality control, they are distributed to retailers or other outlets where they can be purchased by the public.
