Plastic gift cards
Plastic gift cards have revolutionized the art of giving. They are a universal and convenient solution for any occasion — a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or corporate event. Particularly popular during the Christmas period, gift cards provide the recipient with freedom of choice. Your company or organization ensures full control over them; you determine their value, purpose, and expiration date.
Gift cards in practice
A gift card is usually a plastic card with a monetary value printed on it that can be paid at a store or service point. The range of amounts and places where cards can be redeemed are determined by you, the card issuer. The card may only offer a cash amount, or it may also provide access to a specific service, e.g., a beauty treatment at a beauty salon.
Basic specifications of a standard gift card:
- material: white PVC (cards may also have a different material color).
- format: 86×54 mm (CR-80), or non-standard size or shape
- thickness: 0.76 mm (760 microns)
- high-quality, precise offset printing – full CMYK or PANTONE color
- glossy or matte lamination

Gift cards – printing options
A gift card, like most other plastic cards, can contain most of the elements and options used when printing cards:
- decorative elements – a gift card does not have to be simple and standard! The card can be decorated with convex prints made with selective varnish, metallic prints, embossed inscriptions, and covered with a matte or glossy laminate.
- personalization – to track the use of gift cards, you can print a barcode or QR code, number, expiration date, and signature strip on the card.
- active elements – e.g. a magnetic stripe or even an RFID module; in this way, similarly to a barcode, the use of the gift card by its user will be monitored. These elements can also be used to encode a value for use.
- security – prestigious cards with higher value can be secured with a hologram or a’secret’ UV print invisible to the naked eye.
- other options – the cards can be made of ecological material, may have a non-standard shape or size, or even have a surprise covered with a scratch-off panel.
- accessories – in addition to the gift card, you can print the regulations in the form of a paper leaflet. We provide packaging services, so we can deliver cards glued to the leaflet with an adhesive point, and the whole thing can be packed in a case or envelope.
