Printing Tickets on Plastic cards

Dale Bradbury
$organization

Hi,

We use access control at our venue and I am planning to use the new Composite bar code feature in v12.1 to provide a single bar code covering our dress rehearsal performances.  I would like this to be able to print out on a plastic membership-style card.

Has anyone had any experience with printing ticket designs including a bar code out onto a plastic card? Can you do this directly from Tessitura or is there some intervening step?

Many people mention using Evolis plastic card printers for things like membership cards and I am thinking of buying something along these lines.  Ideally I would be using this to print both this composite bar code ticket design, and for another membership programme that will use the new Nscan membership bar codes (via acknowledgement output).

I would appreciate any comments or recommendation on plastic card printers (without mentioning pricing of course), and any tips or pitfalls in the process of getting the data out of Tessitura and onto the card.  The Evolis Zenius currently seems the most suitable so feedback on that specifically also welcome.

Thanks

Dale

    Hello Nina
    We had amazing results with the stock.
    Here is a pdf of what they look like.
    While a majority of the Season passes for Donors and Board were printed outside the building. We were able to have the proper bar codes printed on  those.
    We used these primarily for two things. Staff passes and additional passes or replacements. We also sell a discounted lawn pass. This pass would give the owner access to our lawn for any BSO concert. These passes are sold at the window and can not be pre-printed.
    It was a hero move on our part to do it this way.
    Yup, I am very happy with the results.
    The stock can be customized as you wish. We just went basic with our plain logo. The perf is set to give us a stub and the actual car dis the size of a business card.
    We bought the stock from Kim Shaw at Canada Ticket.
    Hope this helps.
    Let me know if I can give you more info.
    Thanks!
    Happy Ho Ho Ho

    Hi David, 

    I was curious to see how the synthetic stock worked out for you this past summer. I would love to see an image of the printed stock if possible.

    Thanks,

    Hello Dale

    We just purchased some synthetic stock that we will be using for our passes this summer at Tanglewood.

    The stock goes right through your Boca as normal. It is thermal.

    In conjunction with Composite tickets we hope to never ever see our two Evolis machines ever again.

    That being said we still need to test it out. Something I will be doing in the next few weeks.
