Abstract
Abstract Process of making ticket packets wherein the tickets of each packet have consecutive plate numbers and a constant serial number thereon, and wherein the tickets of other packets each respectively have a different serial number with the same progression of plate numbers for the tickets of each packet. A plurality of sheets are printed, each with a number of tickets thereon identified by a different plate number printed successively in series after which sheets of one series are collated with sheets of successive series to form stacks. The tickets on the sheets of each stack are printed with a serial number by perforating said number through the stack. The sheets of each stack are then fastened together along rows of the tickets, after which the stacks are cut into ticket packets. Tear lines may also be provided for the tickets of each packet.
