Custom Paper Gift Cards That Feel Like Plastic
Print Robot’s Paper Gift Cards are durable CR80-size cards made from 28pt engineered paper. They give businesses a premium physical gift card option without relying on standard PVC. Choose PaprCard™ or PaprCard™ RECYCLED, then customize the card for your program with compatible POS, numbering, and data options.
Choose between two FSC® certified engineered-paper options: PaprCard™ and PaprCard™ RECYCLED. Both are made to provide the familiar size and substantial feel of a traditional gift card while offering a recyclable alternative to standard PVC.
PaprCard™ is made from 100% FSC® certified virgin fiber and provides a clean, premium paper-card finish.
PaprCard™ RECYCLED is made from FSC® certified post-consumer recycled fiber for businesses looking for a paper gift card with recycled content.
Both options are CR80 credit-card size and made from curbside-recyclable engineered paper. Available customization includes numbering, variable data, barcodes, QR codes, and magnetic stripe options for compatible POS workflows.
