Square Gift Certificates

These certificates do more than mark a dollar amount. They advertise the gift while it waits to be redeemed, and the right stock makes the value feel real before anyone spends a cent. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every style on gift certificates printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $42.84, and the per-unit cost keeps sliding as the count climbs toward 5,000, so a full box for a busy season costs far less per certificate than a small test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What Are Square Gift Certificates?

Square gift certificates are printed, sellable gift certificates run full color in a 3" x 7" or 3.5" x 8.5" size, on any of 15 materials. Businesses reach for them when a plain voucher will not do: salons and spas sell them for holidays, restaurants offer them at the table, and retailers turn them into promotions and prepaid vouchers. Because the certificate looks and feels like it holds value, the person who receives it holds onto it. If you want the standard line, the Gift Certificates cover that, and the square version sits right beside it as the format built to feel like a gift.

What Size Should a Square Gift Certificate Be?

The right size comes down to how much you need to say. The default 3" x 7" leaves room for a logo, a value line, terms, and a signature block, all on a tall certificate shape that reads clearly. Step up to 3.5" x 8.5" when you want extra space for artwork or a longer message. Need something outside those two? A custom size is made to order up to 4" x 9", so you can match an existing template or fit a specific envelope. Both sizes and the full material list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

Here are a few easy ways to make a square gift certificate pull its weight.

Pick a material that feels like value

A heavier coated or linen stock gives a certificate real presence in the hand, which matters when the paper is standing in for money. The metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver and gold catch light like foil without the foil price, and the 15pt synthetic plastic holds up to repeated handling behind a register. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it bright and clean, and recycled options at 30% and 100% post-consumer waste keep it green.

Print the back, or leave it blank

You set your ink coverage to match the design: 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, 4/1 to add black-ink terms or a redemption note on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. A blank back also leaves room to hand-write a personal message when the certificate is a gift.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a certificate look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our gift certificate design templates, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank square gift certificate template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Square Gift Certificates Cost?

Square gift certificates start at $42.84 per set of 50, and the per-unit price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 5,000, so a cheaper certificate really comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 300 runs $95.56 and 3,000 runs $321.83, landing near 8 cents each at the top tier. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-unit cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Can You Number Each Certificate and Add Envelopes?

Yes. Turn on optional sequential numbering and each certificate prints its own number in black ink, so a stack of identical certificates becomes a trackable set. That makes reconciling sold and redeemed vouchers far simpler at the register, and it turns a promotion into something you can actually count. When you want the certificate to look finished on delivery, add matching blank white #9 envelopes so each one ships ready to hand over. And before anything runs, you can request a free online proof to check your layout, or send it straight to production when you already know the file is right.

How Do Square Gift Certificates Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Square gift certificates are the format built to feel like a gift, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a seasonal design or a version built for a specific business, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up square gift certificates against their closest siblings, like Christmas Gift Certificates and Restaurant Gift Certificates, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
