Raffle books that sort themselves

Numbered tickets, three to an A4 page, printed at school for the cost of paper and toner — and off the guillotine already in order. No mail merge, no hand-sorting, no $515 print bill.

Watch the guillotine do the sorting

The Studio prints tickets in a special order, so two cuts leave every pile reading 1, 2, 3… That is the whole trick — and it is the part volunteers usually lose a lunchtime to.

Three ways to get 6,000 tickets

THE PRINTER ~$515, every raffle
Lovely books. Also most of a grand a year once Easter and Christmas both happen.
THE WORD TEMPLATE A whole Tuesday night
Mail-merge numbering, then the trap: guillotined stacks come out shuffled (1, 4, 7…) and somebody hand-sorts thousands of tickets.
THE STUDIO Print. Two cuts. Staple.
~$70 of paper and toner, piles in order, covers already in the stack. See the maths.

Why this exists

School Raffle Studio wasn't built by a software company. It was built by a P&C parent after one mail-merge Tuesday too many, and first used for a real NSW public school's Easter raffle — 6,000 numbered tickets in books of 20, printed at school for about $70 in paper and toner, guillotined into piles that needed no sorting at all. The office staff asked if they could keep it. Now every school can.

What you get

The questions committees ask first

My principal forwarded me this — where do I start?
Perfect — this was built to be forwarded to you. Click Start free, enter your school and the raffle details, and print a real page of tickets tonight. Bring the cut piles to the next P&C meeting; they make the argument for you.
Will it look right off our school photocopier?
Yes — the PDF is plain A4 with generous margins, tested on ordinary office printers. Mono looks sharp; colour looks festive. Print one page free and see.
Do we need a permit?
For most school raffles in NSW, no — under $30,000 in prizes needs no authority. The rules, in plain English.
We already have a Word template…
Keep it as a souvenir. The template cannot fix the guillotine problem — cut stacks come out shuffled and someone hand-sorts them. The Studio’s whole reason to exist is that its piles come out in order.
What if it is not for us?
The trial costs nothing and needs no card. Paid accounts are a flat $149/year with no lock-in — if you stop, your tickets are already printed and yours.
