The world is digital.
Artificial intelligence writes texts, apps organize events and QR codes open doors. Everything is getting smarter – and a little bit more impersonal at the same time.
But sometimes the real thing is just nicer.
Something you can hold in your hand that triggers anticipation and awakens memories.
And that’s exactly why they are now celebrating a comeback:
Paper tickets for events – rethought with colada.

Why the paper ticket is back in fashion
Like records, Polaroid cameras or handwritten postcards – some things come back because they evoke emotions.
A physical ticket is more than just proof of admission. It is a piece of experience, a collector’s item, a conversation starter.
Our customers often tell us:
“Our guests love getting something personal again – not just a QR code in their inbox.”
And that’s exactly why we at colada have developed something that combines nostalgia with modern event technology.
The ticket that stays – in design & memory
Together with our printing partner, we have created a format that simply looks wow:
- Format: 80 × 150 mm – inspired by the classic airline ticket
- Vollfarbig & randabfallend bedruckbar – wie unsere Badges
- Printable on standard devices – no special printer required
- Customizable – with guest names, event information or even little insider jokes
Whether elegant and minimalist with a logo or colorful and playful –
the design is entirely up to you.
And best of all: you can put any information you have about a guest in colada directly on the ticket.
Get creative: Your event, your message
A ticket can do more than just “admission granted”.
Why not tell little stories, hide clues or playfully get the guests in the mood for the event?
Need some ideas?
- Print a secret QR code that leads to a welcome video
- Hide a quote from the keynote speaker
- Let the ticket be part of a competition
This turns every ticket into a little highlight – even before the event begins.
No printer? No problem. We’ll take care of it.
You think the idea is great, but don’t want to set up your own print production?
We have a solution: colada Full-Service.

Conclusion: Plan digitally, inspire analog
Events today are more digital than ever – and that’s a good thing.
But sometimes it’s the analog details that create emotions.
A ticket that you pick up. A detail that stands out. A moment that stays with you.
The paper ticket is back.
Not as a step backwards – but as a loving upgrade for your event experience.
