Scratch Off Material

The choice of material is crucial when it comes to custom scratch-off cards. It affects not only the customer experience but also the durability and functionality of the card. We offer two distinct scratch off materials to cater to your specific needs.

  • Traditional Scratchers: Typically made from a stiffer material, these layers provide a straightforward scratching experience. They are common in lottery tickets and are designed to be reliable for mass production.

  • Softer Scratchers: Made from a softer, more flexible material, softer scratchers offer enhanced usability. They are easier to scratch, making the experience more pleasurable for the user. This option is ideal for promotional cards that want to engage the recipient fully.

Paper Options for Printing Scratch off Card

To ensure your scratch card is of the highest quality, we recommend using coated paper and then laminating to add an extra layer of protection to the card. We can easily print scratcher surfaces on gloss, matte, soft or laminated surfaces.

For a luxurious and eye-catching finish, consider gloss art paper option. This paper stock offers a high-gloss surface that enhances the vibrancy of colors and provides a sleek, professional appearance. If you prefer a more subtle and understated look, matte art paper is an excellent choice. This paper stock features a smooth, non-reflective surface that lends a sophisticated and elegant touch to your scratch off cards.

Scratch Off Card File Specifications

Creating custom scratch-off cards can be an exciting and engaging way to promote your brand or create a fun interaction for customers. However, to ensure that your scratch-off cards look professional and are effective, it’s crucial to prepare print-ready files carefully. Below are essential tips to help you prepare your scratch-off card design for print.

card bleed set up
Bleed and Margin

Bleed refers to the area of the design that extends beyond the actual size of the card. This extra space (usually about 3 mm) guarantees that no unprinted edges will be visible after the card is trimmed. On the other hand, margins are the safe zones where design elements should be placed to avoid being cut off. It's advisable to keep important elements, such as logos and text, at least 5 mm inside the trimmed edge.

image resolution-2
Resolution

To create a professional and polished look, ensure that all images and graphics in your design are high-resolution (at least 300 DPI). Low-resolution images can appear pixelated and unappealing when printed, so sourcing high-quality images is pivotal. If you need to scale images, always do so proportionately to maintain clarity.

cmyk color
Color Mode

Color selection is crucial in grabbing attention. Use the CMYK color mode for your designs, as this is the standard for print production. If you’re using Pantone colors, ensure they are specified correctly.

scratch off area
Scratch-Off Area

The scratch-off area is a crucial feature of these cards that enhances their interactive aspect. To facilitate this, you must leave an extra 1.5-2 mm of space around the scraper. This precaution ensures that you have a safe placement area and that the scraping action does not obscure any important elements like logos or text. It's essential to position all critical content, which needs to remain visible after scratching, outside this designated area. Any content that should be hidden should be placed within the boundaries of the scratch-off area.

File Format

Ensure you export your file in a format that is suitable for printing. PDF files are typically preferred due to their high-quality resolution and ability to maintain layout consistency.

Scratch Off Card Design Tips

Scratch off cards have become an increasingly popular way to engage customers, boost brand awareness, and create excitement around promotions or events. Whether used in marketing campaigns, fundraising initiatives, or gaming, the design of a scratch off card plays a critical role in its success.

Here are some essential design tips to consider when creating an eye-catching and effective scratch off card.

Understand Your Concept and Audience

Before diving into the design, clarify the purpose of your scratch off card. Are you promoting a product, offering a discount, or running a lottery-style campaign? Understanding the specific goal will influence your design choices. Additionally, consider your target audience. Are they young adults, families, or seniors? Tailor your graphics, colors, and typography to resonate with the intended demographic.

Focus on Eye-Catching Colors

Color psychology plays a crucial role in design. Choose a color scheme that captures attention and evokes the desired emotional response. Bright and vibrant colors often draw people in, while colors that align with brand identity lend credibility and coherence. Ensure that the colors contrast effectively, especially in areas where text needs to be legible.

Create Engaging Graphics

The visuals on a scratch off card should be striking and relevant to the theme. Use high-quality images or illustrations that convey your message effectively. For instance, if your card is promoting a seasonal event, incorporate seasonal elements that reflect the atmosphere. Keep graphics clear and not overly cluttered; too much detail can distract from the main message.

Choose Readable Typography

When it comes to text, clarity is key. Use easily readable fonts and sizes that can be seen from a distance. Prioritize essential information, such as the prize, instructions, or promotional message, ensuring it’s prominent and stands out against the background. Limit the number of different fonts to maintain a cohesive look; typically, using one or two complementary fonts is sufficient.

Design the Scratch-Off Area Strategically

The scratch-off area is the centerpiece of the card, where the anticipation builds as customers uncover their prize. Consider these factors in your design:

  • Size and Location: Ensure the scratch-off area is large enough to accommodate scratching but not so large that it overshadows the rest of the artwork.

  • Color and Texture: Use a distinct color or pattern for the scratch-off area to differentiate it from other elements of the card. The underlying design should be appealing, prompting curiosity about what lies beneath the scratch-off material.

  • Instructions: Clearly indicate that the area is meant to be scratched. Utilize visual or textual prompts near the scratch-off area to guide users in a straightforward manner.

Incorporate Brand Elements

Your scratch off card should reflect your brand identity. Include your logo prominently but tastefully, and use consistent brand colors and fonts throughout the design. This not only maintains a professional appearance but also strengthens brand recognition and loyalty.

Add a Call to Action

Encourage engagement by adding a strong call to action (CTA). Whether it’s “Scratch to Win!” or “Discover Your Prize,” a clear CTA will motivate individuals to participate. Make sure the CTA is prominent, easy to understand, and ties in with the overall theme of the card.
