Gift Card Design & Features
1. Unique Code & Numbering
Each gift card can include a unique code, sequential numbering, a barcode or a QR code.
These details can be linked to your own booking, EPOS or redemption system for easy identification and use.
2. Activation & Expiry
Gift cards are typically activated at the point of purchase.
A 12-month validity period is common, but the expiry terms are set by you and can be managed through your own system or stated in your terms and conditions.
3. Writable Areas
If you would like to write on the card, a signature panel can be added.
Alternatively, a matt-laminated card can be written on with a permanent marker, although the ink should be left to dry fully.
4. Terms & Conditions
To keep the card design clean, we recommend placing full terms and conditions on your website rather than printing them all on the card.
A short line such as “See website for full terms and conditions” can be added to the card design.
Core Features of Our Gift Cards
Scratch-off Panels
Conceal unique gift codes or PINs until the card is purchased or redeemed. Ideal for added security.
Barcode & QR Code Printing
Add unique barcodes or QR codes for gift card identification, scanning and redemption through compatible systems.
Variable Data & Encoding
Add a magnetic stripe for gift card activation, balance checks and redemption through compatible POS systems.
Variable Data & Encoding

Order Process
We make the perfect cards for you
What you do
Pick your quantity and the popular options on this page
If you’re not sure, contact us anytime, and we will get everything sorted.
What we do
If anything looks unclear or likely to affect the final result, we’ll flag it early (so you don’t find out after it’s printed)
Quick reassurance
The price shown is the ready-to-order setup for most use cases
If you need something not listed (extra finishes, security, special packaging), contact us for quote.
Option A: You already have artwork
Share a print-ready PDF if possible. If not, upload what you have -we’ll tell you what needs adjusting.
Option B: You only have a logo / brand kit
That’s enough to start. Upload your logo + brand colours + any text you want on the card.
Option C: You don’t have design files yet
Send a reference (a photo/screenshot of a style you like) and tell us:
your business type (café / salon / retail / hotel etc.)
what the card is for (membership / gift / loyalty)
the vibe: clean & modern / bold & attention-grabbing / luxury & understated
Before we print anything, you’ll have a clear proof to approve.
What you’ll receive
A proof showing layout, sizes and key placement
If you selected special finishes, we’ll show how they apply (e.g., Spot UV area / foil area)
What you control
You can request amendments if something doesn’t look right
If we spot a risk (tiny text, overly complex foil areas, etc.), we’ll tell you plainly and suggest a better approach
Once approved, we move to production.
What happens next
Your cards go into production with the confirmed spec
If you chose premium finishes, we apply them with the correct sequence (so the final look matches the intention)
Typical turnaround
Around 10 working days on average (from approval)
In a hurry? Priority service is available (we’ll confirm what’s achievable based on quantity + finish)
Secure packaging, shipped to your address
If you have a “launch date”, tell us - we’ll help you plan backwards from that deadline
