Wallis custom paper gaming gift cards are designed as printable physical card carriers for authorized prepaid, voucher, promotional and gaming gift-card programs. Compared with conventional PVC card bodies, paper-based cards can help brands reduce plastic use while supporting custom artwork, denominations, logos, printed instructions and project-specific security features.
Current Wallis specifications include CMYK, Pantone or custom-color printing, customized dimensions, custom logos, OEM/ODM production, kraft or standard-carton packaging, blank and printed samples, and a listed MOQ of 500 pieces.
For gift-card and prepaid-code projects, the physical card and the redemption system are two separate components. Wallis can manufacture the printed paper card body according to the approved project specification, while redeemable codes, account value, activation rules, platform compatibility and trademark authorization must come from or be approved by the applicable program owner.
B2B buyers should provide the required paper stock, GSM or caliper, finished dimensions, artwork, printing colors, variable-data requirements, barcode or QR format, PIN or scratch-off requirements, quantity, packaging and authorization status before mass production.

Important specification gap: the current page does not publish the paper GSM, caliper, standard CR80 dimensions, recycled-fiber percentage, paper grade, surface-coating chemistry, barcode standard, QR-code specification, PIN length, scratch-off structure or variable-data accuracy requirement. These are high-value B2B fields that should be added when factory data is confirmed.
Sustainability clarification: the current table uses claims including “FSC Certified,” “100% Recyclable” and “Biodegradation.” Certification scope, fiber source, coatings, adhesives, scratch-off layers and other components can affect the environmental profile of the finished card. Use specific environmental claims only when supporting documentation applies to the exact product construction.
A paper gaming gift card is a printed paper or paperboard carrier used to present a gift value, voucher, prepaid code, promotional entitlement or account-credit instruction to the customer.
The physical paper card provides the printed brand artwork, value information, instructions and any barcode, QR code, serial number or protected PIN zone required by the program.
A printed card does not create account value by itself. Redeemable value, code generation, POS activation, account credit and backend validation must be provided or authorized by the applicable gift-card or gaming platform operator.
Paper-based construction can reduce the amount of conventional plastic used in a physical gift-card program. Actual recyclability depends on paper composition, coatings, adhesives, scratch-off layers, laminates and local recycling systems.
Gaming gift-card programs frequently use multiple denominations, regions, currencies and artwork variants. Wallis can manufacture different printed versions according to the buyer's authorized artwork and production files.
Cards can be visually differentiated by value, currency, color, artwork or SKU. The actual monetary value must be controlled by the issuer's redemption system rather than by the printed card alone.
Different countries or regions may require different currencies, languages, legal wording, redemption instructions and code formats. Buyers should provide a separate approved artwork file for every regional SKU.
Gaming platform names, logos, game artwork, characters and other protected branding should be printed only when the ordering party has the appropriate rights or authorization.
CMYK printing is listed in the current Wallis specification and can be used for photographic artwork, gaming graphics, promotional imagery and multi-color branded designs.
Pantone colors are also listed for projects requiring more controlled brand-color references. Physical proof approval is recommended when brand color consistency is contractually important.
Front artwork can carry brand, denomination and promotional design, while the back can contain redemption instructions, terms, barcode, QR code, serial number, PIN area or customer-service information according to the approved project.
One of the most important missing specifications on the current Wallis page is the exact paper GSM or card caliper. These values influence stiffness, print feel, durability, die cutting, shipping weight and compatibility with retail card holders or display racks.
Buyers should specify whether they require coated card stock, uncoated paperboard, recycled paper or another engineered paper construction and request the corresponding GSM.
Two papers with similar GSM can have different thicknesses. Programs that need wallet-compatible or rack-compatible cards should therefore control both finished dimensions and caliper.
Blank paper samples help buyers compare rigidity, surface feel and thickness before committing to printed sampling.

Prepaid and voucher card programs often require every physical card to carry unique variable information. This can include a serial number, PIN, redemption code, barcode or QR code supplied by the authorized program operator.
Sequential or randomized serial numbers can help identify individual cards within a batch. The required character length, format and sequence rules should be defined before variable-data production.
Where authorized redemption codes are supplied by the program owner, the printing specification should define code length, permitted characters, location, font, minimum readable size and whether the code requires concealment.
A scratch-off layer can conceal a PIN or redemption code before purchase or authorized use. Exact scratch material, panel dimensions, adhesion and removal performance should be approved during sampling.
Barcode and QR code projects should specify symbology, data content, printed size, quiet zone, contrast and scanner or application used for validation.
Printing a code does not create account balance or platform access. Valid code data and activation logic must be supplied or authorized by the issuer, retailer, platform operator or gift-card management system.
Variable-data projects should use a controlled file in which every card record maps to the correct serial number, barcode, QR code or PIN.
Where code uniqueness is required, the buyer and manufacturer should define how duplicate records, missing records and corrupted data are identified before release.
Representative samples should be scanned using the intended retail scanner, POS terminal, mobile application or other authorized validation device before mass production.
Gift-card code files can represent commercially sensitive information. Buyers should define approved file-transfer, storage, production access, reconciliation and deletion procedures where confidential redemption data is involved.
Gaming-platform gift cards can use recognizable logos, trademarks, character artwork and denomination designs. These assets should be manufactured only for buyers that hold the necessary rights or are working under an authorized gift-card program.
PlayStation-branded artwork, logos and voucher-code programs are controlled by their respective rights holders. A printed paper card from Wallis should not be represented as an official PlayStation voucher unless the project is authorized accordingly.
Steam-branded cards and wallet codes also require appropriate authorization. Buyers should additionally verify the current physical gift-card program and regional distribution model before developing new retail inventory.
Nintendo and other platform names, logos, game characters and card designs should likewise be used only in properly authorized manufacturing programs.
For long-term organic search, this page is better positioned around generic B2B entities such as custom paper gaming gift card, prepaid paper card, scratch-off code card and paper voucher card instead of relying on third-party gaming trademarks.
| Selection Factor | Paper Gift Card | Plastic Gift Card |
|---|---|---|
| Base Material | Paper, paperboard or engineered paper | PVC, PET, PETG or other plastic |
| Plastic Reduction | Can reduce conventional plastic content | Plastic-based card body |
| Recyclability | Depends on paper fiber, coatings, laminates, scratch layers and local recycling systems | Depends on polymer type, card construction and local recycling infrastructure |
| Printing | CMYK, Pantone and other paper-printing processes subject to stock | Plastic-compatible offset, UV or other processes depending on material |
| Variable Data | Barcode, QR, serial, PIN and scratch-off designs can be integrated | Barcode, QR, magnetic stripe, serial and encoded options can be integrated |
| Best Fit | Voucher, promotional, gaming, seasonal and plastic-reduction programs | Programs requiring conventional plastic-card durability or encoded plastic-card functions |
Sustainability claims are increasingly important in paper gift-card purchasing, but they should be specific and verifiable rather than relying on broad terms such as “eco-friendly.”
The current Wallis product table states FSC certification. Buyers using FSC claims or logos should request the applicable certificate information and confirm that the exact paper and supply chain used for the order fall within the required certification scope.
The current page does not publish a verified recycled-fiber percentage. If recycled content is required, specify the minimum percentage and request supporting material documentation.
Paper itself can often enter paper recycling streams, but coatings, plastic films, adhesives, metallic layers, magnetic components and scratch-off systems can affect acceptance. Avoid an unconditional “100% recyclable” claim unless the complete card construction supports it in the intended market.
“Biodegradable” should be supported by a defined material composition, test method and disposal environment. The current page does not publish this supporting technical information.
The existing Wallis specification lists surface waterproofing. For paper-based cards, it is safer to define the actual coating and tested water-resistance requirement rather than describe every configuration as completely waterproof.
Paper card bodies can be manufactured for authorized gaming gift-card, wallet-code and prepaid-credit programs using customer-approved artwork and variable data.
Retailers can use paper gift cards for fixed-value, variable-value or promotional programs when the physical card is connected to an approved POS or redemption backend.
Discount codes, event access, campaign vouchers, loyalty rewards and promotional offers can be printed with unique numbers, QR codes or protected code areas.
Paper cards can also serve short-term or campaign-based loyalty programs where barcode, QR code or serial-number identification is sufficient.

For barcode, QR or redemption-code programs, the buyer should validate representative samples against the authorized system before mass production begins.
Where every card contains a unique code, the number of successfully printed cards, rejected cards and unused records should be reconciled according to the agreed data-security procedure.
Keep an approved physical sample and production specification for repeat orders, including paper stock, artwork revision, color, code position, scratch-off location and packaging.
The current Wallis specification lists approximately 1–3 days for blank samples. Confirm whether the sample uses the same paper stock and surface treatment intended for production.
Printed samples are currently listed at approximately 3–5 days. Variable-data, scratch-off or specialty-security samples may require separate confirmation.
The current product table lists an MOQ of 500 pieces. Special paper, FSC requirements, multiple SKUs, scratch-off coatings or variable-data programs may have different commercial requirements.
The current page lists approximately 8–15 days. Final timing depends on quantity, artwork approval, paper availability, variable data, security finishing and packaging.
The current specification lists standard carton packaging for bulk orders.
Kraft packaging is also currently listed and can be evaluated where the buyer prefers a paper-focused packaging appearance.
Custom holders, sleeves, envelopes, retail display packs or other packaging can be discussed according to the distribution channel and security requirements.
Different denominations, countries, currencies and artwork versions should be packed and labeled separately to reduce SKU-mixing risk during distribution.
Wallis supplies paper cards, plastic cards and card-material solutions for international B2B projects. OEM/ODM production can be discussed for customized gift cards, voucher cards, prepaid card carriers and promotional code-card programs.
Buyers can supply authorized logos, denomination artwork, instructions, terms, campaign graphics and packaging designs.
Paper grade, card size, printing colors, surface treatment, data fields and packaging can be reviewed according to the project.

For volume programs, buyers should define approved raw materials, print specifications, data-security requirements, QC checkpoints and packaging standards before mass production.

For repeat B2B orders, useful feedback should reference the paper grade, card dimensions, printing accuracy, variable-data quality, scan performance, scratch-off result, packaging and delivery condition so future batches can be compared against measurable criteria.

It is a printed paper card used as the physical carrier for an authorized gift-card, voucher, prepaid-code or promotional program.
No. The physical card carries information or a code. The actual monetary value, account credit and redemption logic are controlled by the authorized issuer or backend system.
Wallis can manufacture customized paper card bodies according to approved customer artwork. Third-party platform names, logos, characters and gift-card designs should be used only with the appropriate authorization.
This product page does not establish Wallis as the issuer of platform wallet value or redemption codes. Valid codes must be supplied or authorized by the applicable platform, program owner or authorized issuer.
No. Many voucher and scratch-code cards are single-use. “Returnable” or “reusable” should only be used when the actual program supports repeated use or reload functionality.
Recyclability depends on the complete card construction and local recycling rules. Paper fiber may be recyclable, while coatings, laminates, adhesives, metallic layers or scratch-off materials can affect acceptance.
The current Wallis specification states FSC Certified. Buyers should request the applicable certification information for the exact paper stock and order before using FSC claims or logos.
The current page uses biodegradation wording but does not publish a test method or complete-material assessment. Any biodegradability claim should be supported by documentation for the exact finished construction.
The current specification lists surface waterproofing. Because the base material is paper, buyers should define the required water-resistance test and confirm the specific coating rather than assuming unlimited waterproof performance.
The current Wallis specification lists customized sizes. Provide the finished width, height, corner radius and any retail-rack requirements when requesting a quotation.
The current product page does not publish a specific GSM range. Confirm paper grade, GSM and finished caliper according to the intended program.
Yes. CMYK and Pantone printing are both listed in the current Wallis specification.
Variable-data projects can be reviewed. Buyers should provide the required data format, sequence rules and validation method before production.
QR-code and barcode projects can be reviewed according to the buyer's system requirements. The code format and scanner compatibility should be tested during sampling.
Scratch-off code-card production can be discussed. Confirm the PIN dimensions, concealment requirement, scratch panel size, data source and security workflow for the project.
Redemption codes should be generated or supplied by the authorized program owner, platform operator, issuer or approved backend provider. Printing the code is separate from creating its redeemable value.
The current Wallis product table lists an MOQ of 500 pieces. Special materials, multiple denominations or security features may require separate confirmation.
The current specification lists approximately 1–3 days for blank samples and 3–5 days for printed samples.
The current page lists approximately 8–15 days. Confirm the actual production schedule for projects involving variable data, scratch-off coatings, special paper or multiple regional SKUs.
Current options include standard cartons, kraft packaging and customized packaging.
Provide paper grade or FSC requirement, GSM or caliper, finished dimensions, quantity per design, CMYK or Pantone artwork, denomination variants, barcode or QR specification, serial or PIN data requirements, scratch-off area, packaging, authorization status, delivery destination and required completion date.
