Gift cards

Gift cards

  • Gift cards are made of plastic cards of a standard size (86.0 × 54.0 × 0.76mm);
  • They support various printing methods: for printing smaller quantities (1 to 500 pieces) high-quality thermal re-transfer printing is used, whereas for printing larger quantities (over 500 pieces), offset printing is used during the production of the cards; In comparison to the cheaper thermal transfer printing (or direct printing), thermal re-transfer printing offers colours and tones and full bleed printing and is suitable for most demanding designs with bright and dark background;
  • Cards can be printed with metallic colours or glitters and we also offer perfumed cards;
  • Gift cards can have a predefined value (e.g. €20, €50, €100) or the value can be defined at a later time;
  • They support various options for information system communication: contact or contactless chips, magnetic strips, bar codes, etc.;
  • We also produce the so-called scratch cards, which are usually made of a cheaper, cardboard material and are most suitable for single charging, for example, internet accounts, instead of regular gift certificates and coupons, etc. The card comprises the scratch-off removable safety layer that covers the code for recharging the account;
  • Upon request, we can also provide elegant card gift packagings made of different materials (paper, plastic, metal, wood, etc.).

Frequently asked questions by our clients:

What is the difference between loyalty cards and gift cards?

Gift cards especially stimulate purchase and attract new clients; loyalty cards, also referred to as discount cards or rewards cards, are specially aimed at fostering relationships with existing customers.

Gift cards are used by your customers to give a “monetary” gift to their friends and acquaintances for various occasions (birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, New Year). The gift card recipient may choose a desired item or service for the purchase value of the amount recorded on the card, regardless of whether they make the purchase online or “live” at the shop. These are prepaid cards that come in the form of printed PVC cards, scratch cards and electronic cards.

Why is introducing gift cards a good business move?

They are used to:

  • improve the company’s reputation and to enter into competition with the companies that already offer gift cards;
  • increase the money in circulation, since you receive funds before the card is cashed in;
  • attract new customers with the help of your permanent customers;
  • create a “pocket promotion”, because the recipient usually keep their cards inside a wallet next to other cards;
  • reduce the possibility of abuse of paper gift certificates and vouchers, because cards are more difficult to counterfeit;
  • allow the customer to make a purchase at the store or online or at the web store;
  • decide for yourself if you will return the money or not if the purchase value is lower than the gift card value.
