Add an element of surprise and protection to your PVC cards with scratch-off panels. These layers conceal the printed data beneath, revealing it only when scratched off, enhancing both the security and the user experience.

Why Opt for Scratch-off PVC Cards?

Scratch-off panels are often integrated into cards containing:

  • Confidential PIN numbers
  • Prize information
  • Gift, discount, loyalty card details
  • Lottery and contest tickets

Whether it’s a promotional PIN, a prize number, or a promotional code, you can inscribe any content under the scratch-off layer, both functional and promotional. Moreover, scratch-off panels serve as an additional security measure, ensuring concealed details remain hidden until the user decides to unveil them.

Features and Flexibilities of Our Scratch-off Cards:

  1. Common Applications: Most prevalent in gift cards, discount cards, loyalty cards, contest and lottery coupons.
  2. Printable Content Under Scratch-off: Activation PINs/codes, prize name or number, control number, discounts, promotional codes, and more.
  3. Personalization: Every card can vary in the message underneath the scratch-off panel. Designed for easy scratching without compromising on durability against accidental or premature scratching.
  4. Techniques of Application:
    • Thermal Printing: Scratch-off layer is thermally printed using a ribbon and is imprinted onto the card.
    • Sticker Application: Machine-aided process where the scratch-off layer is applied as a sticker.


Depending on your chosen method, the appearance of the scratch-off panel can slightly vary.

Technical Aspects of Scratch-off Cards:

  • Order Size: Depending on the number of cards you wish to order, the application method for the scratch-off panel may vary. For orders ranging from 200 to about 30,000 pieces, thermal printing is recommended. For larger orders (over 30,000 pieces), a sticker scratch-off panel is advisable.
  • Customizability: With thermal printing, you can choose the size and shape of the scratch-off, be it a circle, heart, square, etc. However, the entire card’s surface can’t be covered due to technological constraints. Sticker scratch-offs usually have a standard rectangle size of 8×20 mm with rounded corners, but slight adjustments can be made based on order requirements.
  • Production Time: Typically, the cards are produced within approximately 12 working days. However, the exact time can vary based on the number of cards and other additional options.
  • Multiple Scratch-off Panels: It’s possible to feature several scratch-off areas on a single card, each concealing different data.
