Gift Card Template
Make gift cards to print and cut for your shop, salon, café or a present. Pick one of our 14 designs in 6 colourways and type your business name, the title and the amount or gift. The back has To and From lines, a card number, a Valid until date and your small print. Number the cards one after another (with your own prefix) so you can keep track of what you hand out. Cards come in credit-card size (85.6 × 54 mm, the size of a bank card, so they fit a wallet) or two larger sizes, as many as fit a US Letter or A4 sheet, with a little bleed and crop marks for cutting. Backs are mirrored so they line up when you print double-sided. Download a PDF, 300 DPI PNGs or an SVG. These are vouchers you honour yourself: they are not payment cards and hold no money.

Print at 100% (Actual size) on card stock. With backs: print double-sided, flipping on the long edge, then cut on the crop marks. These are vouchers you honour yourself, not payment cards.

How to make printable gift cards
- Choose the paper, the card size, a design and the colours.
- Type your business name, the title and the amount or gift for the front.
- Fill in or leave blank the To and From lines, set the card numbers and an expiry date if you use one, and edit the small print.
- Set how many cards you need: the page works out how many sheets that is.
- Download the PDF, print at 100% on card stock (double-sided, flipping on the long edge, for backs) and cut on the crop marks.

Card sizes and cards per sheet
| Card size | On US Letter | On A4 |
|---|---|---|
| Credit-card size (85.6 × 54 mm) | 8 (2 × 4) | 9 (3 × 3, landscape) |
| 5 × 3 in (127 × 76.2 mm) | 3 (1 × 3) | 4 (2 × 2, landscape) |
| 6 × 4 in (152.4 × 101.6 mm) | 2 (1 × 2) | 2 (1 × 2) |
Cards sit on the sheet with 8 mm gaps. Colour runs 2 mm past each edge, and crop marks run from 2.5 mm to 5.5 mm outside each cut line, so they never touch a card. Our tests read every card box and crop mark back from the PDF on both paper sizes.
The 14 designs
| Design | Design | Design |
|---|---|---|
| Confetti | Diagonal stripes | Ribbon and bow |
| Balloons | Gift box | Starry night |
| Hearts | Snowflakes | Leafy branch |
| Triangle border | Waves | Polka dots |
| Classic frame | Sunburst |
Every design is our own drawing, in 6 colourways. None looks like a bank card: there is no chip or stripe, and no logo but your own words.
What prints on each side
| Side | What is on it |
|---|---|
| Front | The design, your business name, the title, the amount or gift, a short message |
| Back | A colour bar with your business name, To and From (typed or a line), card number, Valid until (a date or a line), a Signed line and your small print |
For money-off offers with a cut line, use the Coupon Template; for a stamp-a-visit card, the Punch Card Template; for a tag on a wrapped present, the Gift Tag Template.
How the backs line up (US Letter, credit-card size)
| Card | Front | Back (mirrored) |

| Card 2 (GC-1002) | 112 mm from the left | 18.4 mm from the left |
The sheet is 215.9 mm wide; each back sits where its front lands when the sheet is turned over on the long edge.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a gift card?
Most plastic gift and bank cards are 85.6 × 54 mm (3.37 × 2.13 in), the ID-1 card size in ISO/IEC 7810 (85.60 × 53.98 mm). Our credit-card size matches it, so cards fit a wallet slot. The 5 × 3 in and 6 × 4 in sizes leave more room for a message.
How many gift cards fit on a page?
Credit-card size fits 8 on US Letter and 9 on A4, with 8 mm gaps between cards for the bleed and crop marks. The table above lists each size.
How do I print the backs so they line up?
Tick Print backs. The PDF has a front page and then a back page for each sheet; print double-sided at 100%, flipping on the long edge. The backs are mirrored left to right so each back lands behind its front. Print one test sheet first: some printers shift the back by a millimetre or two.
What are crop marks?
Short lines outside each card that continue its cut lines. Line a ruler or a paper trimmer up with a pair of marks and cut; the marks stay on the offcut. Colour runs 2 mm past each card edge (bleed), so a slightly off cut does not leave a white edge.
Can each card have its own number?
Yes. Tick Number each card and set a prefix, the first number and the number of digits. Cards are numbered one after another across all sheets, so you can write down who received which card.
Is a printed gift card a real payment card?
No. It is a printed voucher that you, the issuer, agree to honour. It holds no money and is not linked to any bank or payment system. Keep a list of the numbers you issue and mark cards as used when they are redeemed. Local rules on gift card expiry dates and fees vary, so check them before you set an expiry date.
What paper should I use?
Card stock of about 200 to 300 g/m² (roughly 65 to 110 lb cover) feels like a card. Use your printer’s heavy paper setting.
Can I make a gift certificate instead?
This page makes wallet-size cards with backs. For a large certificate on a whole or third of a page with a record stub, use a gift certificate layout.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The cards are drawn by JavaScript in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or saved when you close the page.
