Holographic Gift Cards

A Gift Card That Shimmers Before Anyone Reads It

A holographic gift card is rigid enough for a wallet, a card rack, or a point-of-sale reader, and it catches the light like a store card. It suits gift cards, loyalty and membership cards, VIP passes and prepaid cards, anywhere a paper card would feel cheap.

A test batch of 250 covers one store opening, and a launch across several locations runs into the thousands. Every other plastic gift card sits on gift cards printing.

What Are Holographic Gift Cards

They are full plastic cards, 30mil thick, the exact size that fits a wallet or a card reader, with your brand, denomination or logo printed across them in full color. For the same plastic with a plain white face, see the Plastic Gift Cards.

What Finishes and Printing Options Can You Choose

Choose UV Gloss for brighter shine and glassy color, or Silk Laminated Matte for a softer, more premium hand-feel. Print 4/0 to leave the back clean for terms or a signature, or 4/4 to use both sides. The corners come rounded to 1/8", matching the cards already in your customers' wallets.

What Personalization and Security Features Can You Add

Turn on a magnetic stripe in LoCo or HiCo and the card can be encoded for your point-of-sale system. Add a scratch-off panel and each card hides a unique PIN for prepaid or promo codes. Variable data prints sequential numbering so no two cards share an ID, and barcoding adds a scannable Code 128, Code 39, UPC-A or EAN-13 barcode. Our guide to adding magnetic stripes and barcodes to a gift card order walks through the file setup.

For a premium touch, foil stamping lays metallic foil on the front, the back or both, and embossed numbering raises each digit at 14pt or 18pt, plain or with gold or silver tipping. A signature panel gives cardholders a place to sign, and a lanyard slot on the 2.125" or 3.375" edge lets the card hang from a badge reel. Each one is optional: mix the ones you need and leave the rest off.

How Much Do Holographic Gift Cards Cost

At 250 a card costs about 90 cents. A 1,000-card run is $377.68, about 38 cents each, 3,000 cards run $1,009.25, and at 10,000 the per-card cost slides to roughly 25 cents. Add-ons adjust the total, and the slider below shows the run total and the per-card cost at any count.

How Do Holographic Gift Cards Compare to Other Plastic Cards

The Holographic Plastic Cards carry a similar light-catching look but lean toward membership, VIP and ID use, and the 30mil White Plastic Cards are the plain base card. The chart below sets this card beside gift card holders, plastic card sleeves and plastic identification cards on price and turnaround.

How Are Holographic Gift Cards Printed

Plastic cards take more steps than paper, so standard production is 15 business days from proof approval. Choose Straight to Production when your file is final, or a Free Online Proof to approve a digital mockup first. Artwork uploads as a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG built at the 2.125" x 3.375" trim with bleed, and the run is backed by 4OVER4's Gold Standard guarantees.
