Gift card printing FAQs
What are these gift cards best used for?
They work well for retail stores, salons, cafes, restaurants, hotels, gyms, local services and branded promotions where a physical card feels more substantial than a paper voucher.
Can I print on both sides?
Yes. Full-colour double-sided CMYK printing is included as standard, so you can put brand artwork on the front and terms, barcode, QR code or contact details on the back.
Can gift cards include numbering, barcodes or QR codes?
Yes. You can add digital numbering, barcodes, QR codes or both. Magnetic stripe and scratch-off panel options are also available if your redemption process needs them.
Which material should I choose?
Standard PVC is the familiar durable choice. Recycled PVC is a better fit if you want a more sustainable option while keeping the feel of a plastic card.
Will you check my artwork before printing?
Yes. We check the supplied artwork and provide a proof for approval before production, so layout and key details can be confirmed before the order goes to print.
