What It Is

Gift cards are printed card-stock (or plastic) cards used as pre-paid value instruments. They typically feature branded design on the front and variable data on the back — unique codes, barcodes, or sequential numbering. We produce gift cards on heavy card stock with matte or gloss lamination, optional scratch-off panels for hidden codes, and variable data printing for unique serial numbers on each card.

Premium card feel

Heavy card stock with lamination mimics the feel of plastic gift cards at a fraction of the cost. Soft-touch finish available for luxury brands.

Security features

Scratch-off panels protect activation codes. Holographic stickers and UV-reactive inks add anti-counterfeiting protection.

Display-ready packaging

Gift cards can be produced with integrated carrier sheets, greeting card folders, or envelope packaging ready for retail display racks.
