Custom Paper Game Recharge Cards & Scratch-Off PIN Cards
Wallis manufactures custom paper game recharge cards, scratch-off PIN cards and prepaid gaming vouchers for game publishers, digital-service operators, authorized card programs, distributors and retail suppliers. We support bulk card printing with branded artwork, variable data, concealed redemption codes, serial numbers and tailored packaging.
These physical cards can be used to present a prepaid code for game credits, digital subscriptions, activation programs and retail promotions. The issuing company controls code validity, value, activation and redemption through its own platform; printing a physical card does not, by itself, create a working top-up system.
Choose card stock, design, quantity and code requirements for an OEM or ODM production project. Wallis can discuss artwork preparation, proofing, scratch-off finishes and export packaging according to your specifications.

Types of Custom Paper Gaming and Prepaid Cards
Game Recharge & Top-Up Cards
Paper recharge cards carry a game top-up identifier or redemption code linked to a program operated by the issuing game brand. They are suitable for authorized game credit distribution and in-store top-up sales.
Scratch-Off PIN Cards
A scratch-off PIN card conceals a unique code under a removable panel until the customer reveals it. This format is commonly used for digital credits, account activation and prepaid services.
Gaming Gift Cards
Branded paper gaming gift cards can include printed denominations, a serial number, redemption instructions and packaging designed for retail shelves or gifting campaigns. Any monetary value is assigned and managed by the issuer.
Digital Content & Subscription Cards
These cards can carry identifiers for digital downloads, subscription activation and access-code campaigns. The redemption rules and code validation belong to the service provider.
Membership & Promotional Cards
Personalized paper vouchers may be used for member campaigns, promotional rewards, coupons and channel incentives, including date- or batch-specific printed messaging.
Custom Printing, Artwork & Finishing Options
Full-Color Branding and Custom Die-Cutting
Choose single- or double-sided printing, full-color imagery, brand colors, localized instructions and card shapes appropriate to your sales channel. Supply approved artwork and a clear indication of where each variable-data field must appear.
Matte, Gloss and Protective Finishes
Matte and gloss treatments can be evaluated for appearance and scratch resistance. Specialty embellishments such as UV printing or holographic elements are optional and require confirmation of production suitability.
Retail Presentation and Custom Packaging
Choose bulk cartons, individual packs, sleeves or retailer-ready formats. Packaging requirements can cover card orientation, batch labels, language versions and shipping protection.
Variable Data Printing: PINs, Serial Numbers & QR Codes
For large game card orders, variable-data printing enables each card to carry a distinct code, while the main design remains consistent. Wallis lists unique PIN codes, serial numbers, barcodes and QR codes among its customization options.
| Data Field | Purpose | Buyer Confirmation |
| Unique PIN / Redemption Code | Customer enters a concealed code to claim a benefit | Length, allowed characters, uniqueness rules and code source |
| Serial Number | Identifies the physical card or production record | Sequential or random format and matching method |
| Barcode | Enables point-of-sale or warehouse scanning | Barcode symbology, character format and sample scanner test |
| QR Code | Links to a destination or encodes an identifier | Exact destination or payload and scanning requirements |
| Printed Denomination | Communicates the stated value or entitlement | Currency, market, legal wording and issuing platform rules |
| Batch / Retail Identifier | Distinguishes artwork, language or distribution batch | Placement, carton labeling and reconciliation needs |
For confidential PIN lists, agree on the file format, transfer method, authorized access, sample records, verification process and data disposition before sending live codes. These operational controls should be specified in the contract rather than assumed from a generic printing description.
Scratch-Off PIN Protection and Security Features
Opaque Scratch-Off Panels
A properly specified scratch-off coating helps conceal printed PINs from casual viewing until redemption. Coating adhesion, legibility after scratching, light-blocking performance and resistance to premature removal should be checked on approved samples.
Additional Anti-Counterfeit Printing
Depending on the project, discuss UV ink, microtext, holographic elements and numbering patterns. These may help with verification but do not make a physical card immune to copying, tampering or fraud.
Data Matching and Production Inspection
For cards carrying matched PINs, serial numbers and barcodes, establish an agreed verification and reconciliation method before bulk production. Confirm acceptance criteria for code readability, print registration, missing or repeated data and scratches during transit.
How Paper Game Recharge Card Production Works
| Stage | Recommended Project Workflow |
| 1. Requirements | Confirm card type, quantities, market, redemption method, sizes and stock |
| 2. Artwork & Data | Provide approved design, brand authorization and any variable-data specifications |
| 3. Proof & Sample | Review color, dielines, printed code layout, scratch area and packaging sample |
| 4. Production | Print artwork and approved variable data; apply specified finishes and scratch coating |
| 5. Quality Review | Check sampling or inspection results against agreed tolerances and data requirements |
| 6. Packing & Shipping | Label batches, pack according to purchase order and arrange export shipment |
Manufacturing services and delivery schedules vary by project complexity, code processing and order quantity. Ask Wallis to confirm sampling, production lead time and confidentiality arrangements in writing.
Paper vs Plastic Recharge Cards: Which Should You Choose?
| Decision Factor | Paper Recharge Cards | Plastic Cards |
| Typical Use | Single-use vouchers, promotions and scratch-off PIN products | Longer-lived membership and reusable stored-value cards |
| Material | Paperboard or coated paper | PVC, PET or other suitable card materials |
| Presentation | Lightweight with custom print and die-cut options | Rigid card feel with durable surfaces |
| Code Options | Printed PIN, serial number, barcode or QR code | Printed identifiers and, where specified, added card technologies |
| Commercial Considerations | Often suitable for high-volume disposable distribution | Consider for programs requiring greater physical durability |
| End-of-Life | Recyclability depends on coatings and local collection rules | Recycling access depends on polymer type and local systems |
Paper can reduce the need for conventional plastic card substrates, but scratch coatings, laminates and inks may affect recyclability. Avoid claiming all printed game cards are recyclable without confirming the final construction and local disposal system.

Security-printing options: request an appropriate scratch-off area and specialty features for assessment.
Production approval: request samples and agree on quality acceptance criteria before volume printing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paper Game Recharge Cards
What is a paper game recharge card?
A paper game recharge card is a printed voucher that presents a code or identifier for a gaming or prepaid service. It is redeemed through the issuing company’s digital platform; the card itself does not hold funds or activate an account.
Can Wallis print unique PIN codes on every paper card?
Wallis lists variable PIN-code and serial-number printing among its services. Provide the required code format, quantity and matching rules, and confirm the approved process for handling confidential code files before production.
Can a PIN be hidden under a scratch-off coating?
Yes. Scratch-off panels are a stated customization option. Confirm the required panel area, opacity, removal performance and code legibility on the sample.
Do paper game cards support QR codes and barcodes?
Yes. Wallis offers printed QR codes, barcodes and serial numbers. Scannability depends on the final artwork, print quality, encoded content and compatibility with the buyer’s scanning system.
What materials and paper weights are available?
The current product range lists white paperboard, coated paper and specialty paper with a typical stock range of 250–450 gsm. Check availability for your size, finish and printing process.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom recharge cards?
The current Wallis product information gives a starting MOQ of 1,000 pieces. Different artwork, security treatments or customized packaging may affect the minimum for a specific project.
Can Wallis print cards for a major gaming brand?
Custom branded card printing can be discussed when the purchaser is the rights holder or has the necessary written authorization to use the brand’s logos and artwork. Printing services do not imply affiliation with a game platform.
Can I use paper cards for different currencies or denominations?
Different amounts, currencies, languages and card designs can be printed as specified. The issuing platform—not the physical card manufacturer—determines how a value is funded, activated and redeemed.
Are the scratch cards fully secure or impossible to copy?
No physical card is completely fraud-proof. Scratch coatings, traceable serial numbers and additional security printing can improve resistance to casual inspection and misuse, while the issuer must secure its code database and redemption system.
Can you provide a sample before bulk production?
Wallis states that sample production is available. Request approval samples for card stock, artwork colors, printed fields, scratch coating and packaging before placing a bulk order.
Are paper game recharge cards recyclable?
Paperboard may be recyclable, but inks, laminates and scratch-off coatings can alter the result. Verify the finished card composition and check local recycling acceptance before making a recyclability claim.
Does Wallis operate the gaming recharge or redemption platform?
This page describes physical card manufacturing and printing. PIN activation, account crediting, payment processing and customer redemption are functions of the game issuer or its authorized platform unless separately contracted.
What information do you need for a quotation?
Send quantity, material, size, color requirements, artwork, variable-data format, scratch-panel design, packaging details and destination. Wallis can then confirm feasible specifications, pricing and lead time.
