Question
What material do I need for the scratch-off coating?
Answer
Professional scratch-off cards use a screen-printed layer of metallic ink, typically silver or gold, applied over the hidden area. It scratches away cleanly with a coin and gives the crisp, tamper-evident look people expect.
- Professional method: screen-printed metallic scratch-off ink for a durable, even coating.
- DIY option: pre-made peel-and-stick scratch-off labels placed over the hidden message.
| Method | Finish | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Screen-printed ink | Clean, uniform, durable | Larger runs, polished look |
| Adhesive labels | Slightly raised, varies | Small DIY projects |
