Loyalty Cards

Custom Loyalty Cards, Punch Cards, and Reward Cards for Small Business and Retail

What loyalty cards are used for

A loyalty card rewards a customer for coming back. Loyalty punch cards have a grid, and the shop punches or stamps a space for each purchase. When the grid is full, the customer gets a reward. Customer loyalty cards, reward cards, and stamp cards are common in shops, salons, cafes, and boutiques. Loyalty cards for small business are low cost, and they are easy to explain. Online brands can also use them, by packing a card into the box with a code or a QR code that links to a rewards page.

Sizes and how to measure

Card size is written as width x height. A common loyalty card is a business card size, about 3.5 in x 2 in, because it fits in a wallet. The grid depends on the number of rewards, such as 6, 8, or 10 spaces. Leave each space large enough for a punch or a stamp. To choose a size and a grid, tell us the reward rule, and we plan the layout on the dieline.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Standard loyalty card: about 3.5 in x 2 in
• Large grid card: about 4 in x 2.5 in
• Folded rewards card: about 3.5 in x 4 in
• Spaces on a card: usually 6 to 10

Paper, finishes, and punching

Loyalty cards are printed on card stock. A thicker stock lasts longer in a wallet and takes a punch cleanly. Uncoated paper takes a stamp or a pen well, because ink dries quickly. Coated paper with a gloss finish can smudge a stamp, so choose uncoated or matte for stamp cards. Kraft stock gives a brown, natural look. Finishes include matte, soft touch, and foil on the logo. Rounded corners help cards last. Ask for a sample kit and test your punch or stamp on the stocks.

Printing and finishing

Loyalty card printing works best with a clear grid, a short rule, and your logo. Put the reward in large type, such as buy 9, get the 10th free. Number the spaces, and leave the reward space highlighted. Keep the back clear for a name and a date, or add terms in small print. Use dark ink on a light stock for the grid, so punches and stamps are visible. Keep text away from the edge.

Loyalty punch cards, custom punch cards, and stamp cards

Loyalty punch cards use a hole punch in each space, and custom punch cards can have a shaped hole punch that matches your brand. Stamp cards use an ink stamp, which suits a brand logo. Choose a stock that works with your tool. You supply the punch or stamp, and we print the card. Test your tool on a sample before a full order.

Reward cards for online brands and retail

Reward cards can work for online brands, by placing a card in the box with a QR code or a code to a rewards page. For retail, a punch card sits in the wallet and brings customers back to the shop. Strong rewards are clear and reachable. Keep the number of purchases low enough that a customer believes they will finish the card.

Reward and terms notes

Offers, rewards, and terms are set by you, and loyalty programs have their own rules in many places. You supply all text, the reward rule, and the terms. We print what you send. We do not write or check rules, terms, or compliance, and you are responsible for making sure your program follows the rules.

Orders from 50 units

Orders start at 50 units, which suits a new brand, a test batch, or a small giveaway. Larger orders cost less per card, and they can be planned in several sizes and designs. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the card size, the shape, the cut line, and the safe area, so you can see where your artwork goes and where text should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
