Perforated Ticket Printing in Lisburn & Belfast
Perforated printing creates a detachable section within a printed sheet — a tear-off strip, a voucher tab, a ticket counterfoil, or a response slip. PCR Print applies clean, straight perforations to flat sheets and pads, making perforated products practical for NI businesses that need a built-in return or payment mechanism in their printed materials.
Common applications include event tickets with counterfoils, order forms with detachable customer receipts, raffle ticket books, and vouchers with terms-and-conditions tearoffs. All perforations are scored and cut cleanly to produce a neat tear without tearing the rest of the sheet.
Our products
Every product is printed in-house at our Lisburn press with a free artwork check included.
Perforation buying guide
Tear-off print for events and fundraisers
Schools, clubs, pubs and charities across Northern Ireland still need a stub they can tear. We print perforated tickets, centre-perforated flyers and tear-off leaflets from Lisburn, with optional numbering so you can track sales. Collect before the event or have a courier drop them at the venue.
Who this printing is for
Event tickets: Concert tickets, sporting event tickets, raffle ticket books, and admission counterfoils for NI events. Loyalty & vouchers: Loyalty cards with tearoff rewards, promotional vouchers with detachable coupons, and discount strips. Business forms: Invoice books with detachable payment slips, order forms with customer copies, and consent forms with receipt strips. Charity & community: Charity raffle books, donation forms with receipt tearoffs, and fundraising ticket books.
Artwork that prints cleanly
Mark the perforation line clearly in your artwork as a guide — it should be a thin rule on a non-printing layer. Keep important content well away from the perforation line — a minimum of 5mm on each side. Design each section (main body and tearoff) to function independently when separated. Include sequential numbering if required (e.g. for raffle tickets) — specify your starting number when ordering. For ticket books with counterfoils, supply one PDF with both the stub and the main ticket section clearly laid out. Colour mode: CMYK at 300 DPI at print size.
Turnaround and delivery
