Custom Scratch-Off Cards
Custom scratch-off cards are a popular, interactive tool for promotions and sales. With our “softer scratcher” technology, these cards are easier and more enjoyable for customers to use.
Scratch-off cards generate excitement, offer engagement, and can be tailored for any campaign. Whether used as a product feature or a promotional tool, they’re an effective way to boost your brand and sales. Let’s explore the benefits, customization options, and best uses of these cards!
You have a variety of customization options to choose from when designing and printing custom scratch off cards.
Scratcher Color Options
The scratch-off layer is available in a variety of colors. The most common choices are gold, silver, and black. For larger-volume orders, we can also provide additional custom color options, allowing you to match the scratch-off layer to your brand style or achieve a unique visual effect.
Scratcher Shapes
Besides selecting the scratcher’s color, you can also choose its shape. Scratchers are readily available in standard shapes such as round, square, and rectangular, but custom configurations can be created for high-volume orders.
Multiple Scratchers Per Card
You can include multiple scratchers on a single card or ticket for increased flexibility and participation. This enables you to provide multiple prizes, discounts, or promotional messages on a single card, increasing the value and excitement for your consumers.
Scratcher Printing
We can print on the surface of the scratch-off layer to add icons, text, or simple graphics. Please note that scratcher printing is limited to one single color.
Conventional VS Softer Scratchers
We offer two types of scratch-off coatings for your cards. One is a softer coating that is very easy to remove—customers can scratch it off effortlessly, even with their fingernails. The other is a firmer, more durable coating that is not as easy to scrape away and is suitable for applications requiring added protection.
For most promotional cards, giveaway cards, and general scratch-off cards, we recommend using the softer scratch-off coating, as it provides a smoother and more user-friendly experience.
If you are unsure which option is best for your project, feel free to contact us—we are happy to help you choose the right coating.

Paper Stock Options
We offer two high-quality paper stock options to suit different printing needs. Our 250gsm to 350gsm (9pt to 16pt) C2S cardstock is ideal for double-sided printing, providing a smooth, coated surface on both sides. It is available in either gloss or matte finishes, delivering vibrant color reproduction and a premium appearance.
For projects that require printing on only one side, we also provide 250gsm to 350gsm (14pt to 20pt) C1S cardstock. This paper features a coated front for sharp, vivid printing and an uncoated back that is suitable for writing or leaving blank. Both options work perfectly with our scratch-off coatings and ensure a clean, satisfying scratch-off experience.
How to Prepare Your Scratch-Off Card Artwork?

Protected Area
Leave a 1.5 mm safe zone around the scratch-off area to prevent any important text or logos from being covered.

Image Quality
Use 300 PPI images to ensure clear, sharp printing without pixelation.

File & Bleed
Submit artwork as a PDF with 3 mm bleed to avoid white edges after trimming.
To help you avoid errors and ensure smooth production, we provide free file checking before printing. Our team will review your artwork for layout accuracy, correct scratch-off positioning, bleed settings, and other technical requirements.

What Our Clients Say
Daniel was responsive, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. He answered my questions, guided me through the technical details, and made sure everything was correct before printing.
The final product exceeded my expectations. The print quality is beautiful, the colors are vibrant, and the cards and rigid box feel truly premium. As a first-time deck creator, I appreciated the attention to detail and support every step of the way.
An added bonus, my shipment came in two weeks earlier than expected.
I am extremely happy with the result and would gladly work with QinPrinting again. Highly recommended.
Tarot of the Blue Rose.
I also sincerely appreciate your patience and willingness to accommodate my detailed review requests, guiding me until I was completely satisfied. Since this was my very first time submitting design data, there were challenging moments where my knowledge fell short, but it all turned out to be a wonderful learning experience.
Big thanks to my main contact, the designers, and the entire factory team for your amazing support. I look forward to working with you all again for the upcoming English version!
I quickly sent enquiries to printers in Singapore and Malaysia. I went down to local printing shops over the weekend. Some told me to just staple my books, while some took weeks to reply, and most did not even give a quotation based on what I enquired.
I was disheartened and seriously considering just publishing ebooks and giving up my paperback dream. As a last leap of faith, I filled in Qin Printing's quotation form on a Saturday evening. A few hours later, I received a reply from Ms Mia Wang.
Mia is one of the most professional and meticulous people I have worked with. She answered every single one of the questions I posed, anticipated others before I even asked, and her promptness was amazing. As a client, it is great when queries get answered even on a Sunday. But as a older woman to a younger lady, I really hope she gets the rest she needs.
The books came very well packed, beautifully printed and right before my nearly impossible deadline because the team was so efficient and I could tell they kept my timeline in mind.
I just sold my first order of my paperbacks today when the request for review come into my inbox. What apt timing. 🙂
Thank you Mia and the hardworking and dedicated team at Qin. I am hoping I will get to print my second and further orders with you.
Keep up the wonderful work! But please, take care and rest well too!
The final insert cards were also produced to a very high standard. The cardstock quality, soft-touch lamination, and overall finish gave the inserts a premium feel that aligned perfectly with our brand positioning.
Production and delivery were handled professionally, and the overall experience reflected strong attention to detail and customer service.
We are very happy with the outcome and would gladly work with QinPrinting again for future projects.
The final work product is excellent. Get numerous compliments about quality of book/illustrations
