Printing and customising gift card packaging

A gift card or gift voucher only really becomes a gift when it’s presented in the right packaging. From a compact slide-out box to an eye-catching pop-up: at LocoMail, we create Gift card packaging fully in line with your corporate identity.

Choose from a range of existing designs or have the packaging customised to suit your campaign, promotion or brand. Not only can we produce the packaging, but we can also incorporate gift cards, unique codes and QR codes, and prepare the entire mailing for dispatch.

From a gift card to a complete gifting experience

A standard gift card is practical, but offers little scope for brand engagement. With a printed gift card sleeve, you can turn the act of handing it over or sending it into a much more memorable moment. The outside catches the eye, whilst the inside offers space for, for example, a personal message, details of the promotion, a QR code or a unique voucher code.

Our gift card packaging is used for, amongst other things:

• gift vouchers and gift cards;
• loyalty schemes;
• staff gifts;
• customer thank-you gifts;
• retail campaigns;
• subscriptions and memberships;
• promotional campaigns;
• Christmas and New Year campaigns.

Gift card packaging fully in line with your corporate identity

All packaging can be customised with your own design. This could include colours, photography, illustrations, campaign imagery and text that reflect your brand. Depending on the model chosen, a range of finishes and material options are also available. This means you won’t end up with a standard gift card box with just a logo on it, but packaging that truly becomes an integral part of the campaign.

Do you already have a design? If so, we’d be happy to look at the technical possibilities with you. Don’t have a design yet? If not, we can also help you develop the concept and design.

Also suitable for unique voucher and QR codes

If you’re not using a physical gift card, but a digital voucher or personal code, these can also be included in the packaging.

For example, we can work with:

• unique voucher or discount codes;
• personal QR codes;
• barcodes;
• individual names or texts;
• different images for each recipient;

This means that the same gift card can also be used for personalised campaigns.

From production to final dispatch

LocoMail can do more than just print the packaging.

We can also help with:

• issuing the gift card or voucher;
• processing of unique codes;
• assembly of packaging and cards;
• adding further items;
• personalising the mailing;
• address;
• packaging;
• send to a single location or directly to the recipients.

This means you don’t have to outsource production, fulfilment and dispatch to different suppliers.

Gift card packaging for the retail sector

Are the gift vouchers sold or handed out in shops? If so, retail packaging has different requirements to a mailing sent directly to a recipient. For example, with a Eurolock The gift card packaging can easily be displayed on a shelf or display hook.

We can also take the following into account:

• display the gift card in a prominent place;
• barcodes;
• campaign texts;
