Question
What do scratch off cards cost per piece?
Answer
Scratch-off cards scale well, so your budget mostly comes down to material, quantity and finish, plus whether you make them by hand or have them printed. Paper works for high-volume promotions, while plastic feels more premium and lasts longer.
| Material | Notes |
|---|---|
| 16pt paper stock | Lower cost, ideal for large promotional runs |
| Plastic | Higher per-unit cost, premium feel and durability that can justify the price |
- A test run of around 500 cards is a modest investment.
- At 5,000 cards and up, the per-unit cost drops noticeably.
- Small DIY batches run roughly $0.30 to $0.50 per card in materials, while professional runs land around $0.15 to $0.75 per card depending on material and finish.
- Finish options such as foil or lamination add to the per-card cost.
- Estimate your true volume before deciding, since higher quantities lower the unit price.
