One-click print
Approve an order and send its tickets to the printer from the box office in a single click.
Batch ahead
Run an entire event or season package at once for will call prep or a mailing.
Header ticket
An optional lead ticket doubles as the order receipt and the mailing label.
QR-coded & accurate
Every ticket carries order details and a unique QR code for clean, error-free fulfillment.

Made for seasons
Especially handy for high-volume events and subscription packages.
How thermal ticket printing works
The short version — enough to choose a printer and stock with confidence.
No ink, no toner
Direct thermal printers use heat to darken specially coated stock — nothing to refill.
dpi & speed
Most run at 200–300 dpi and around 8 inches per second; higher dpi is crisper, a touch slower.
Built-in security
Stock can add UV ink, thermochromic ink, and holographic foils to deter counterfeiting.
