Express Scratch Cards – 7 Day Turnaround

Here at ScratchCardPrinting we understand that the demands of business can sometimes mean you need marketing materials fast! That’s why we offer an express service: get your printed scratch cards within 7 days. Simply order – and let us take care of the rest! 

We can deliver to your business address – or any address you prefer. This means that our bespoke scratch cards can be delivered directly to your clients or customers. We can even add white label delivery to your order, to ensure your clients or consumers don’t know that the cards are coming directly from us.

Scratch Off Cards Express Delivery Requirements

We can’t provide our express service on every type of printed scratch card we do. That’s because a lot of finishing options are time-consuming – so we wouldn’t be able to deliver your express scratch cards within the 5 working day timescale. To ensure your scratch card order meets our requirements – please make sure of the following:

  • Quantity: 2500 scratch cards or less
  • Artwork: single or double sided
  • Shape: standard shape only (no die cut scratch cards)
  • Extras: No optional extras (like foiling, overprint, Spot UV) can be added for this service
  • Timing: you must submit your artwork by 10am on the day of ordering to ensure the 7 working day turnaround. 

When you create your scratch card designs, there’s a few things you’ll need to remember:

  • Ensure your design is proofed and ready to go – double check text, graphic placements etc. Use one of our templates to make life easier! 
  • Add a bleed area to your design to ensure clean cuts between your scratch cards. 
  • Make sure your design is clear as to where the scratch off latex panels will be (and the desired colour – black, gold, silver). 

Short run orders that are digitally printed will have gloss lamination added to the latex side as standard to increase the quality of your print run. If you would like to have no lamination, please ensure you add this in the comments section when you place your order.

Place your scratch card order before 10am and receive it within 7 working days!

Please Note:
– Scratch off latex is a form of ink that continues to harden after application. As such, scratch off latex has an average lifespan of 6 months, and we strongly recommend using your scratch products within this timeframe. We cannot be held responsible for the usability of these products after 6 months have passed.
– When creating artwork, please ensure that the latex area extends on all sides at least 2mm beyond the content it is intended to cover. This 2mm bleed allows for any movement that may occur during the production process.
