From a spreadsheet
Every row was a purchase, from a 1975 Pet Rock to a $1.7M NFT. Each became its own receipt: the store, the items, the total, the payment method, a barcode and the Ramp mark.

CASE STUDY
Brian’s Office
For National Expense Report Day, Ramp locked Kevin from The Office in a glass office in Flatiron Plaza and buried him in receipts, live on X. Working with Coming Of Age, we built the system that generated the receipts.
THE PRODUCTION
One glass office and a mountain of receipts.
Brian Baumgartner spent the day filing receipts by hand while a live scoreboard tracked how many Ramp processed in the same time. Thermal printers lined the walls and kept the paper coming, the stunt streamed live, and the crowd outside pressed against the glass to watch.
WHAT WE BUILT
Receipts by the thousand, generated from a spreadsheet.
Built for Coming Of Age against a fixed date, through every round of design changes.
Fitted to every name
Store names ran from IKEA to Goodwill Superstore & Donation Center, so each one got its own size and line breaks, and nothing ran off the paper.
Made for thermal paper
Receipt printers trim blank space to save paper, so every receipt carried hidden padding at the top and bottom to print exactly as designed.
Every round, the full set
Each design change regenerated the whole batch at once, so the production team always had a complete, print-ready set.
