Question

Can I use 4OVER4.COM prints for scratch-off cards and interactive projects?

Answer

Yes. 4OVER4.COM's coated products make a great base for DIY scratch-off cards and other interactive pieces. The trick is choosing a stock with a glossy or semi-gloss finish, because the smooth, sealed surface lets a scratch-off layer adhere evenly and peel away cleanly when revealed.

  • Best base stock: smooth, coated card with a glossy or semi-gloss finish.
  • Popular projects: scratch-off game cards, reveal invitations, and promotional giveaways.
  • Why coating matters: a sealed surface keeps the scratch material from soaking in, so it scratches off cleanly.

Design the hidden area in a solid, high-contrast color so the reveal reads clearly once the scratch layer comes off.
