Hand Over a Gift Card That Looks Like a Gift
A gift card on its own is a bare rectangle of plastic. A gift card holder is the printed, folding card that wraps around it and turns a purchase into a present. It prints full color, scores down the middle so it folds like a small greeting card, and grips the card in a die-cut slit inside, so your brand and a short message sit on the outside while the gift sits safely within. A run of 25 starts at $170.03, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 60 reviews.
These holders do the work a plain card cannot. They give every gift card sale a branded finish at the counter, they carry a message, and with matching envelopes they are ready to mail or hand over. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the range? Browse the full gift cards printing lineup, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 25 starts at $170.03, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so a full box for a holiday season or a store rollout costs far less per holder than a small test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What is a gift card holder
A gift card holder is a scored, folding card that presents and protects a gift card. At 4OVER4.COM gift card holders print full color on 14pt cover stock in 4 scored sizes, each with a die-cut slit that grips the gift card, so the holder folds shut like a small greeting card around the card inside.
Each holder prints flat, then scores down the middle so it folds in half, and the slit inside holds the gift card in place. You hand someone a printed card that opens like a tiny greeting card, with your brand on the outside and their gift tucked within. You set the size, the stock, the ink coverage, and the slit style, and the price updates as you build it. If you also need the cards to go inside, the Plastic Gift Cards and Holographic Gift Cards slot right into these holders.
What sizes do gift card holders come in
Gift card holders come in 4 scored sizes: 6" x 9" that folds to 6" x 4.5", 8.5" x 5.5" that folds to 4.25" x 5.5", 10" x 7" that folds to 5" x 7", and 11" x 4.25" that folds to 5.5" x 4.25". Each size prints flat and scores down the center so it folds cleanly around the gift card.
The size you pick sets how the finished holder reads in a hand. The default 6" x 9" scores to a 6" x 4.5" finished card, a roomy holder with space for a message. The 8.5" x 5.5" folds to 4.25" x 5.5", a taller portrait shape. The 10" x 7" folds to a generous 5" x 7", close to a standard greeting card. And the 11" x 4.25" folds to a slim 5.5" x 4.25" that reads like a wallet sleeve. Every size arrives pre-scored so the fold is sharp and straight, and all 4 sizes, both finishes, and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them.
What paper stocks and finishes can you choose
4OVER4.COM prints gift card holders on 3 cover stocks: 14pt Gloss Cover, 14pt Matte/Dull Cover, and 14pt Uncoated Cover made with 30% recycled content. Finish is Standard or a Hi Gloss UV coat on the front. Ink prints 4/0 for full color front with a blank back, 4/1 for full color front with a black back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides.
All three stocks are a sturdy 14pt cover weight, heavy enough to fold crisply and stand up to handling at a register. The 14pt Gloss Cover gives colors a bright, glossy pop. The 14pt Matte/Dull Cover reads soft and modern with no glare. The 14pt Uncoated Cover is made with 30% post-consumer recycled content for a natural, writable surface. For extra shine you can add a Hi Gloss UV coat on the front, and you set your ink coverage to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether you print the inside and back.
How do the slits, scoring, and envelopes work
Every gift card holder is scored for a clean center fold and comes with a die-cut slit that grips the gift card. You choose from 4 slit styles, moon slits or slide slits on the bottom or right panel, and you can add matching Premium 70# A6 blank envelopes so the holder is ready to mail or hand over.
The mechanics are what turn a folded card into a real holder. Scoring is built in, so the card folds down the center without cracking the stock. Inside, the die-cut slit holds the gift card so it does not slip out. You pick the slit that fits your layout: moon slits on the bottom panel, moon slits on the right panel, or slide slits on the bottom panel. If you want the holder ready to mail or present, add matching Premium 70# A6 blank envelopes at checkout. And before anything prints, you can choose a Free Online Proof to check the fold, the slit placement, and your artwork, or send it straight to production when you are confident in the file.
Already have your design ready? Skip the online editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank gift card holder template is built at the real trim size with the center score and the slit placement already marked, plus the 1/8" bleed and safe margin drawn in, so your artwork folds and cuts exactly where it should. Grab the size that matches your order, drop your art in, and upload.
Wally wraps the gift, not just the card
Why a plain gift card leaves the counter in a branded holder.

A gift card on its own looks unfinished. A printed holder folds around it, grips it in a die-cut slit, and puts your brand on the outside. Start at $170.03 for 25, pick a size and stock, add matching A6 envelopes, and Wally makes every gift card sale look like a real gift.
How much do gift card holders cost
Gift card holders start at $170.03 for 25, and the price scales across 9 quantity tiers up to 10,000. The per-card cost drops fast: 25 holders run about $6.80 each, while 10,000 run about $0.16 each. Stock, ink coverage, finish, slits, and envelopes can adjust the total, and the live configurator shows the exact price before you order.
The volume math moves quickly. Step up to 100 holders and the total is $196.39, so four times the cards costs about $26 more. Order 500 and you pay $301.83, 1,000 run $367.74, and a 10,000 run lands at $1,580.34, which works out to roughly 16 cents per holder. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
What do businesses use gift card holders for
Gift card holders are used by retail stores, restaurants, salons, and spas to present gift cards at the register, package them for the holidays, and mail them to customers. The folding format wraps branding and a personal message around a plain gift card, and matching envelopes make it ready to gift or ship.
Any business that sells a gift card needs a way to present it, and a bare plastic card looks unfinished on its own. Retail shops keep a stack at the counter so every gift card sale leaves in a branded holder. Restaurants and cafes hand them out over the holidays with a seasonal design. Salons and spas use them to package a gift certificate as an experience, not a receipt. Because you print full color across the whole holder, you get room for your logo, a short message, and redemption details, all wrapped around the card. Pair the holders with Gift Certificates for a fully branded gifting set.
How do gift card holders compare to the rest of the gift range
Gift card holders are the piece that dresses up a gift card, but they are not the only move in the family. If you are weighing the cards that go inside or a printed certificate instead, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up gift card holders against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
How fast can you get gift card holders
Gift card holders print on a standard 5 business day turnaround. Before the run starts, a Free Online Proof lets you confirm your artwork, the center fold, and the slit placement, so nothing surprises you when the box arrives. If you would rather move straight ahead, send the file to production and skip the proof step.

Gift card holders are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time.

Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.

Gift Card Holders: Frequently Asked Questions
How does the gift card stay inside the holder?
Every holder is die-cut with a slit inside that grips the card, so it does not slide out when the holder is handed over or mailed. There are 4 slit styles to choose from, which lets you match the way your card sits and how much of it shows when the holder opens.
What sizes do the holders come in?
There are 4 scored sizes. The smallest is an 11 by 4.25 inch sleeve that folds to 5.5 by 4.25 inches, and the largest is a 10 by 7 inch card that folds to 5 by 7 inches. Every one carries a center score so it folds like a small greeting card.
What is the minimum order and how does the price scale?
The minimum is 25 holders from $170.03. The per-card cost slides down toward roughly $0.16 as the run climbs to 10,000, so a holiday season order at volume costs a fraction per piece of a small counter run.
Which stocks are available?
There are 3 cover stocks: 14pt Gloss, 14pt Matte/Dull, and a 14pt Uncoated made with 30% recycled content. Gloss makes photography and bold brand color pop at the counter, while the matte and uncoated options are easier to write a name on.
Can I get envelopes to mail the holders?
Matching envelopes are an option you add during setup, in a Premium 70# A6 weight. With envelopes the holder becomes a mailable gift rather than a counter handover only, which is useful for corporate gifting and customer win-back sends.
How long does production take and can I see a proof?
Standard turnaround is 5 business days, and a Free Online Proof option is available so you can check the artwork before it prints. Because the slit position and score have to line up with your design, reviewing that proof is worth the extra step.
What is a cute way to display gift cards?
Put the card inside a printed holder that opens like a small greeting card. The holder is scored down the middle, grips the card in a die-cut slit, moon slits or slide slits on the bottom or right panel, and carries your design and a short message on the outside. Add the matching Premium 70# A6 envelope and it is ready to hand over at the counter or drop in the mail. Runs start at 25 holders for $170.03.
Can I make my own gift card holder?
Yes. Download the blank gift card holder template for the size you are ordering, which has the center score, the slit placement, the 1/8" bleed and the safe margin already marked, place your artwork on it and upload. Or start from the online editor and build the design there. Either way a Free Online Proof lets you check that the fold and the slit land where you meant before the run prints.
