Custom Scratch-Off Cards and Ticket Printing

Custom scratch-off cards and tickets are a popular, interactive tool for promotions and sales. With our “softer scratcher” technology, these cards are easier and more enjoyable for customers to use.

Scratch-off cards generate excitement, offer engagement, and can be tailored for any campaign. Whether used as a product feature or a promotional tool, they're an effective way to boost your brand and sales. Let's explore the benefits, customization options, and best uses of these cards!

Options for Customizing Scratch Cards and Tickets

You have a variety of customization options to choose from when designing and printing custom scratch off cards. These options enable you to design cards and tickets that align with your brand identity and marketing goals while managing your production and distribution budget effectively. Let's examine some of the most important available customization options:

Color Options

The scratch-off layer, also known as the scratcher, is available in various hues. Clients usually prefer silver scratchers. However, you can choose custom colors like gold or black for larger quantities or special requests. This customization option enables you to match the scratcher's color to your brand's colors or to create a distinctive visual effect.

Scratcher Shapes

Besides selecting the scratcher's color, you can also choose its shape. Scratchers are readily available in standard shapes such as round, square, and rectangular, but custom configurations can be created for high-volume orders. This customization option allows you to match the scratcher's shape to your brand or create a distinctive design element.

Multiple Scratchers Per Card

You can include multiple scratchers on a single card or ticket for increased flexibility and participation. This enables you to provide multiple prizes, discounts, or promotional messages on a single card, increasing the value and excitement for your consumers.

Conventional VS Softer Scratchers

Depending on the intended use of the scratch off cards, the sort of scratcher used can vary. Tickets for lotteries, traditional scratch off contests, and promotions will require conventional “hard” silver scratchers. Our specially formulated flexible scratchers are designed for a variety of other scratch off projects in which customers can easily remove the coating using only their nails. This customization option ensures that the scratchers satisfy the particular requirements and preferences of your intended audience. If you are unsure of which option to select, please contact us and we will gladly provide guidance.

Options for Scratch-Off Cards and Ticket Paper

We offer a vast selection of paper stocks to choose from. Most times, for scratch cards and scratch off tickets, we recommend using coated paper and suggest laminating it for additional protection. We can print the scratcher surface without difficulty on glossy, matte, soft-touch, or laminated surfaces.

You can choose from a wide range of papers for your cards and tickets, listed here:

Other special papers such as colored or metallic papers are also possible.

Design Factors for Custom Scratch Off Cards and Tickets

To guarantee the success of your scratch-off card campaign, you must pay close attention to the design process. Consider the following factors when designing your scratch-off cards:

Protected area for scratchers

Protected Area for Scratchers

It is essential to leave an extra 1.5 mm of space around the scratchers to provide a safe placement zone. Guaranteeing that essential elements, such as logos or text, are not obscured by the scratchers requires leaving an extra 1.5 mm of space around them. You should place all content that needs to be concealed within the allocated scratcher area. 

Image pixel density

Image Pixel Density

We recommend using images with a resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch) for high-quality reproduction. This ensures that the images printed on the scratch-off cards appear crisp and clear.

Format of files and bleed

Format of Files and Bleed

When submitting your design assets, you must submit them in PDF format with a 3 mm bleed. This ensures that the design extends slightly past the final trim size, preventing any white edges or missing elements.

Options for Scratch-Off Card and Ticket Packaging

Once your custom scratch off cards or tickets have been printed, you must consider packaging options to ensure their safe and aesthetically pleasing presentation. Here are some popular options for packaging scratch-off cards:

Shrink Wrap or Plastic Bag

We can package scratch-off cards using shrink wrap or a plastic bag in a cost-effective and expedient manner, which safeguards them against deterioration, dust, and manipulation. If you have fewer than 20 cards in a pack, then we'll usually suggest a plastic bag. If you want to pack over 20 cards, shrink wrap is often the best option.

A Folding Carton Box

Provides a more refined and aesthetically pleasing packaging option. You can personalize the folding carton box with your logo and other design elements.

Telescope Rigid Box 

A telescope rigid box is an excellent choice for a premium and luxurious presentation. This box design provides a sturdy and stylish packaging solution for your scratch-off cards, allowing them to stand out.

Magnetic Rigid Box

Magnetic rigid boxes lend a touch of convenience and luxury to the packaging. The magnetic closure allows for effortless opening and closing, and the rigid construction provides excellent card protection.

Scratch off cards and tickets offer a novel and exciting way to advertise your company, engage customers, and increase sales. You can use them in traditional contests, promotions, and lotteries, as well as board games, educational tools, and more. With a variety of customization options, you can design scratch off cards that align with your brand and marketing goals. You can ensure a successful scratch-off card campaign that leaves a lasting impression on your consumers by weighing design elements with care and employing appropriate packaging.

Why Choose Custom Scratch-Off Cards and Tickets?

Custom scratch-off cards and tickets excite consumers and boost sales while staying cost-effective compared to many promotional tools. Their novelty element also delivers powerful experiential value.

Promote Your Company

Scratch-off cards provide an exceptional way to showcase your brand, products, or services. By featuring your promotional messages, you enhance brand visibility. The surprise of revealing a potential reward can influence purchasing decisions, encourage redemptions, and raise overall sales. The interactive aspect generates excitement and anticipation, fostering meaningful engagement with your brand.

Personalization and Customization

Use variable data printing so each scratch-off card can present a unique prize or message, tailored to specific demographics or interests. This high level of customization strengthens loyalty by making recipients feel valued. Scratch-off cards also adapt to diverse marketing strategies—from fundraisers and product launches to employee rewards and giveaways—suiting enterprises across various industries.
