Gift Cards Printing

Plastic Gift Cards in Credit Card Size

A printed gift card sits in a wallet, a purse, or a jacket pocket, carrying your logo and your colors until the day someone spends it. Plastic Gift Cards here print on 30mil white plastic at 2.125 by 3.375 inches, the size and thickness of a credit card, with a UV gloss or silk laminated matte finish, from 250 cards for $226.11. For a coffee shop, a salon, or a retail store, that's real estate you own outright, and Gift Card Holders present the card at checkout.

These cards pull triple duty. They work as promotional tools, as loyalty rewards, and as a steady revenue driver, since customers who redeem a card usually spend more than its face value.

Magnetic Stripes, Barcodes and Embossed Numbers

A plastic card can carry the data your point of sale reads. Add a magnetic stripe in LoCo or HiCo for point-of-sale systems, sequential barcoding in Code 128, Code 39, UPC-A or EAN-13 with numbering for tracking redemptions, and embossed numbering at 14pt or 18pt, plain or tipped in gold or silver, for a raised, tactile finish.

A signature panel, a scratch-off with a PIN, foil stamping on one or both sides, 1/8 inch rounded corners, and lanyard slots on the short or long side are on the table too. Gift Card Holders fold from 8.5 by 5.5 to 4.25 by 5.5 inches or 10 by 7 to 5 by 7, with moon or slide slits to hold the card, and pair with matching A6 envelopes so the whole presentation looks finished. If you print appointment or membership cards as well, you can keep the branding consistent across every card in your wallet lineup.

Plastic, Holders and Finishes

The stock is what separates a card someone keeps from one they toss in a drawer. Every card here prints on 30mil plastic, the thickness of a retail chain's card, in white, clear, frosted or holographic, while Gift Card Holders print on 14pt gloss, matte or uncoated cover and Plastic Card Sleeves on 80# or 100# gloss text. These come from the 60+ paper and plastic stocks 4OVER4.COM carries.

Finish sets the mood. Silk lamination gives a smooth matte hand, UV gloss makes colors pop, and clear and frosted cards take spot UV. Each combination changes how your brand reads the moment a customer picks the card up.

Designing a Card Worth Keeping

Keep the design simple and unmistakably yours. Put your logo front and center, use your brand colors, and hold the text to the essentials, usually the denomination, your business name, and a short line of copy. Set your file to CMYK at 300 DPI and add 0.125" bleed on all sides so nothing gets clipped at trimming.

Most gift card products print full color on both sides, so you can carry your design on the front and use the back for terms, barcodes, or redemption instructions. If sustainability matters to your audience, recycled and eco-friendly stock options are available through Green Printing.
