Electronic Gift Certificates from Plastic Gift Cards Online are the hands-down winner over conventional paper gift certificates. These magnetic cards keep cash in the till by electronically debiting the amount from the value of the certificate. The unused portion is stored via a magnetic strip for your customer's next visit. Learn how Plastic Gift Cards Online consultants give clients great advice to help you also incorporate card holders too! Feel free to contact a representative by email or phone.

*NOTE: If you are not familiar with setting up artwork,
take advantage of our great design service.
We'll work with you to create the perfect card to fit your needs.

Setting Up Your Artwork
Bleeds - If you want your image to extend to the edge of the card, a bleed of no less than 1/8"
should be used.
Document Size - Our standard card size is 3.375" X 2.125". For other products, (such as Key
Tag and Rolodex cards), see the individual template pages for exact measurements.
150 Line Screen - We recommend that you send artwork at 300 DPI for most jobs, or 1200
DPI for line art.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Including Fonts and Images
Fonts - Include all printer and screen fonts used to create your artwork. If you're positive that we
won't have to make any changes to your file, you can convert all type to curves / outlines.
Linked Graphics - Be sure to include all of your placed / imported images when you send your
artwork. Missing graphics and fonts cause your job to be delayed.
