Lottery printing and packaging

In the past decade or so, China has issued nearly 10,000 kinds of lottery tickets. With the introduction of various kinds of newspapers and magazines to the functions and collection of lottery tickets, people have already had a deep understanding of the lottery, and the team has increasingly expanded. According to incomplete statistics, at present, there are at least 2 million people who have more than 100 lottery tickets, and there are even more sporadic collectors.

However, there are few people who know how to print and package lottery tickets. This chapter has done some superficial introduction based on the relevant manufacturers' information. The issuance and approval procedures for the issuance of welfare lottery in China are very strict. They are highly authoritative, and their circulation, face value, specifications, etc. will not be arbitrarily changed once they are confirmed, nor will they be revised or reprinted. In order to prevent the buyer from forging a winning ticket, the lottery ticket generally needs to go through dozens or even dozens of processes before it can be printed. The most valuable of these is the implementation of the “process dark law” in the production of lottery tickets to ensure that no one (including printing manufacturers, ticket buyers, and China Lottery Distribution Center) can know the lottery tickets printed by the winning lottery ticket. The distribution situation prevented the picking of votes.

Anti-counterfeiting is to stop the counterfeiters from forging fake winning tickets. The purpose of the anti-picking is to ensure that each ticket purchaser has equal chances of winning. Even if a real-looking lottery ticket with genuine appearance appears, it can be identified quickly and easily.

It is said that in the past two years, Beijing Fengtai Fangzhuang District held sales of 20 million awards, using the newly printed Chinese Zodiac instant lottery tickets. Some Shaanxi and Northeast ticket sellers who claimed to be picky ticketers flocked to. The scene was turned for a week and a lot of money was cast. As a result, one big ticket was not singled out. On another occasion, in a grand prize group sale in Shijiazhuang, the leader and ticket seller of a lottery ticket issuing center standing on the rostrum called the board: "If anyone picks a big ticket, I award him 100,000 yuan. As a result, for over a dozen days, no one won the prize by picking a ticket, and one of the ticket salesmen said with a mournful face: "The pick ticket cannot be played." According to people in the industry, the printing of lottery tickets and the printing of banknotes have been carried out over the years. In the same way, there are quite strict rules and regulations in production management, and there are extremely high quality requirements in the aspects of plate making and anti-counterfeiting.

Lottery printing companies are generally marketed by the designated printers that specialize in printed securities, and part of the lottery is marked with the name and code of the manufacturer. For example, the major manufacturers of printing lottery tickets are: Beijing Printing No. 2 Factory (02), Shijiazhuang Offset Printing Factory (04), Guangzhou Dongfanghong Printing Company (05), Beijing Guangcai Printing Center (06), etc. They have different characteristics and advantages in printing different types of lottery tickets.

In order to be in line with international standards, some manufacturers have established joint ventures with professional manufacturers such as France and Malaysia, and have established professional lottery printing plants that are world-class. Some manufacturers' production lines use advanced technology and equipment from countries such as the Netherlands, and their scale and technology are the first in Asia. For example, the Beijing No. 2 Printing Factory has printed a total of 8 billion lottery tickets since it printed the first batch of trial lottery tickets in 1988, which accounted for 30% of the total circulation, and has successively developed traditional coupons, unveiled coupons and scraping coupons. Three series, dozens of varieties. In order to catch up with the international lottery printing advanced industries, they have boldly introduced foreign advanced lottery production lines, computer-controlled inkjet machines, and changed the artificial imposition and wash plate operation process into irregular dark operation methods to improve product coverage. The level avoids the pickability and regularity of the lottery ticket in the production process, and achieves the goal of a lottery ticket production quality error rate of “zero”.

Lottery tickets, like stamps, have their own serial numbers, series, special topics, etc. Therefore, each printing manufacturer bears one or several series of lottery printing jobs. For example, the series of lottery tickets are mainly printed by the Shijiazhuang offset printing factory, which is generally 80pcs per box; the new series of lottery scratch tickets such as “Fun Poker” printed by Beijing Guangcai Printing Center and printed on G0811-17-14-15. 100 bags per bag in plastic bags; the G1011-23-17-21 "concentric music" series lottery tickets printed by Beijing Zhongcai Printing Co., Ltd. are made of long cross-cuts (more than 10 sets of 40 or 50 pieces). Printed; and some of China Welfare Lottery tickets sold in Guangdong are printed and distributed in reel format, with a computer shake lottery prize of 500 pieces per ticket.

In the welfare lottery ticket, both the "W coupon" (voucher) and the "N coupon" (coupon) are both W coupons and N coupons, which are sealed with sewing machines (including the earliest issued "Long coupon" series). The “Double Voucher” (in-bag vouchers) is also issued in a paper bag or plastic bag with a lottery ticket, and is taken off or unpacked at the time of release.

With the continuous expansion of the scale of collection, in order to meet the requirements, the series of lottery tickets such as "Shanghai Style" and "Flood Relief and Relief" have also been printed together with exquisite packaging and treasure cards.

Over the years, instant lotteries accounted for more than 90% of China's welfare lottery circulation. The China Lottery Distribution Center has a first-rate lottery pool in Beijing, and has lottery sub-libraries in all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government. The county has a Lottery Repository. The lottery transportation is mainly based on highways, which includes railways, aviation and maritime transport. All road transport uses containers and are transported by armed police officers to ensure safety and reliability.
