MADE FOR GIFTING

Create a gift card that looks and feels worth giving.

A well-designed plastic gift card feels more considered than a paper voucher and gives your brand a physical presence customers can buy, carry and present.

Print both sides with your branding, contact details, terms, instructions or a message for the recipient. Then add the numbering, codes or magnetic stripe your business uses and choose a carrier or sleeve to complete the presentation.

Professional gift presentation

Present the gift with a polished, durable card that feels more substantial than a paper voucher.

Designed around your brand

Use your colours, logo and campaign artwork to make the card feel like a natural part of your business.

Durable and easy to keep

Plastic cards hold up well in wallets, bags and at the counter, making them a practical alternative to paper vouchers.

Room for useful information

Use both sides for contact details, terms, instructions, expiry information or a message for the recipient.

HELPFUL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Questions about custom gift cards?

Can gift cards be custom printed on both sides?

Yes. Both sides can carry your branding, artwork, contact details, terms, instructions or a message for the recipient. We’ll allow for any barcode, magnetic stripe or other required feature in the layout.

Can every gift card have a different number or barcode?

Yes. Unique numbers, barcodes and QR codes can be printed from an organised data file. If a code must work with existing software, your POS or gift-card provider should confirm the required code type, data and format.

Can gift cards include a magnetic stripe?

Yes, where an existing compatible swipe system uses one. The stripe and data format should be confirmed before production.

Can you supply carriers or sleeves for gift cards?

Yes. We can include carriers or sleeves in the quote once the format, printing and quantity are known.

Do gift cards need to show a dollar value?

No. Some businesses print a value or offer on the card, while others use a number, barcode or magnetic stripe connected to value managed in their own gift-card or POS system.

Does PlasticCard.nz supply gift-card software or load value onto cards?

No. PlasticCard.nz supplies the printed gift cards and any agreed numbers, codes or magnetic stripes. Your business or its provider handles software, value loading, activation, redemption and customer records.

What do you need to quote custom gift cards?

Please share the approximate quantity, intended use, artwork status, any numbering, barcode, QR code or magnetic stripe requirements, carrier or sleeve needs, delivery destination and timing. A rough brief is enough to start the conversation.
