Print Your Own Currency Your Customers Can Gift
A gift certificate is money your business prints: someone buys one, hands it to a friend, and that friend walks into your shop already ready to spend. Because it stands in for real value, it should look the part, with full color, heavy stock, clean type, and a number you can track. Sell them at the register for the holidays or run them as a loyalty reward, and a printed certificate puts your brand in a wallet and brings a customer back.
A first holiday push at one register can start with 50 certificates.
What Is a Gift Certificate
A gift certificate is a prepaid voucher you sell or give away, and the holder redeems it later at your counter for goods or services. Ours print full color on one or both sides in a 3" x 7" or a 3.5" x 8.5" size, on any of 15 materials, with sequential numbering in black ink when you need to track each one.
Gift certificate formats
A single certificate is the plain version: one printed piece, one design, handed across the counter or slipped into an envelope. It suits a shop that sells a handful at the register and writes the amount and the date on by hand.
A sequentially numbered set is the same certificate printed as a run with a different number on every piece, in black ink. Pick it when each certificate has to be tracked.
What Size Should a Gift Certificate Be
Size it by what the face has to carry. A logo, an amount, an expiration line and a signature block fit the 3" x 7", and a long list of terms or a large photo needs the 3.5" x 8.5". The 3" x 7" is the check-style size and slips into a #9 envelope without a fold.
Wally makes your business its own currency
Why a stack of numbered vouchers keeps customers coming back.
Fifty gift certificates cost $42.84, about 86 cents each, and each one is money your business prints. Add sequential numbers to track them, matching envelopes to hand them over, and print full color on premium stock. Pick a size, set your speed, and Wally gets them printed fast.
What Materials and Ink Can You Choose
Pick the stock by where the certificate lives until someone redeems it. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps a register stack crisp, and an uncoated stock takes a pen cleanly when the amount and date are written by hand. For ink you choose 4/0 to print the front only, 4/1 to add black terms on the back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides.
A few of the fifteen stocks make a certificate feel like money. Metallic pearl comes in ice, champagne, silver and gold. White linen has a woven texture that reads as stationery. Synthetic plastic is the one to pick when the certificate will live in a wallet for months, because it resists tears and water. Gloss and uncoated covers are the straightforward everyday choices, and the 30% and 100% recycled stocks are there when the program has to run on recycled content.
How Much Do Gift Certificates Cost
Gift certificates start at $42.84 for 50. A run of 1,000 is $244.93, near 24 cents each, and 5,000 is $385.53, under 8 cents each. Drag the slider below to your holiday count for the total and the unit cost.
Can You Number Each Gift Certificate
Yes. Turn on sequential numbering and each certificate in the run prints with its own number in black ink, so you can track which ones are sold, redeemed or still outstanding, the way a checkbook works. To skip it, set numbering to none.
Reconciling is the whole reason the number is there. You record the number when the certificate is sold and again when it comes back at the till, so the value redeemed matches the value taken at the counter, a certificate presented a second time is caught, and the numbers you have not seen yet tell you exactly what is still outstanding against the register.
Popular uses for gift certificates
Salon and spa. A certificate can name a service, a cut and color or a treatment, instead of an amount, so the printed number maps to a booking. Metallic pearl or white linen suits a treatment menu, and the matching White #9 envelope makes it giftable at the desk.
Restaurant. One larger run before the holidays brings the unit price down and covers the whole season, with each certificate numbered for the till.
Retail. A fixed denomination certificate on a heavier stock sits beside the register all year. If you want something that survives a wallet and a scanner instead of a paper piece, look at plastic gift cards or holographic gift cards.
Service businesses. Trades, studios, detailers and instructors can sell a session or a job rather than a dollar value, so the certificate carries the scope, the terms and an expiry date in print.

How Do Gift Certificates Compare to the Range
The Restaurant Gift Certificates tune this voucher for a menu, and the square and holiday versions sit with them on gift certificates printing.
How Fast Can You Get Gift Certificates
Standard production for gift certificates is 5 business days, which keeps the price lowest. When a promotion or a holiday sneaks up, you can move faster: 4, 3 and 2 day speeds sit in the middle, and next-day or same-day rush covers the real deadlines. Same-day jobs ship out of the NYC plant when they are approved in time, and 4OVER4 backs every order with its guarantees, so you are not gambling on the date.

Gift Certificates: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a run cost per certificate?
The unit price falls with every tier: about 39 cents at 200 and about 14 cents at 2,000, so a business that sells certificates all year is far better off printing one large run than repeating small ones.
Are envelopes available for handing them out?
Matching White #9 envelopes can be added to the order, which turns a bare certificate into something you can present at the counter or mail. The envelopes come blank, so branding on them is not part of this order.
How can I create my own gift cards?
For a paper gift card, print a gift certificate: upload your artwork or build it in the online editor, and add black ink on the back with 4/1 if the terms go there.
What is the best website to buy gift cards?
For your own business, look for sequential numbering, a proof before the run and matching envelopes on the same order. This certificate offers all three.
