ABSTRACT:
A ticket stock and manufacturing process wherein a pulp is formulated from a blend of recycled furnishes, with added starch for enhancing sheet stiffness and reducing linting and dusting on cut edges of the stock, and clay or other opacifier for enhancing opacity of the stock. A preferred pulp comprises a blend of recycled solid bleached sulfate plate stock, recycled coated soft white, and recycled ground wood furnish such as newsprint or the like. In one embodiment, the blend comprises about 25-50 wt. % recycled solid bleached sulfate plate stock, about 25-50 wt. % recycled coated soft white, and about 15-25 wt. % recycled ground wood furnish. The furnish blend is repulped with minimal mechanical refining, is treated with steam injection for hydrating and softening the fibers, and is formed into a web that is pressed, dried, and soft calendered. The caliper of the resulting stock is about 7 to 9 points and provides a ticket for use in prize redemption in family entertainment centers, arcades, location-based entertainment centers, amusement parks, and similar establishments. The ticket may also be used to conduct drawings, raffles and give-a-ways. The ticket may be formed from a sheet of reply card stock paper having a caliper characteristic in the range of 5 and 11 points.
