Engineering Comparison: Black Core vs. Gray Core Paper
Black core paper has a black center layer that provides opacity — preventing winning information from being visible when the card is held against light. This is essential for lottery and high-security promotional cards. Gray core paper has a gray center and is more economical, suitable for lower-security applications where cost is prioritized. Both materials support full-color CMYK printing, variable data, and security features. Black core paper provides superior security against light penetration. For promotional campaigns where prize information must remain concealed, black core paper is the recommended choice.
Deployment Scenarios
Marketing Director — Beverage Brand Promotional Campaign: A beverage brand wanted to drive consumer engagement with an instant win promotion. The marketing director selected 10,000 scratch-off cards with black core paper and full-color branding. Each card had unique verification codes and variable prize amounts. The 5,000-piece MOQ allowed a 10,000-card order for the campaign launch. The 9-day lead time met the tight promotional schedule. The scratch-off coating removed cleanly, and consumers claimed prizes through a dedicated website. The campaign increased product sales by 15% during the promotion period. The product solved the challenge of delivering an engaging, secure promotional mechanic that drove consumer action.
Promotions Manager — Retail Loyalty Program: A retail chain wanted to launch a loyalty program with scratch-off rewards for repeat customers. The promotions manager ordered 25,000 scratch-off cards with gray core paper and custom discount amounts. Each card featured a barcode and unique serial number for tracking. The 22-day lead time aligned with the loyalty program launch. Cards were distributed at checkout counters, creating excitement among customers. The reorder program became quarterly, with the chain ordering 25,000-50,000 cards per quarter. The product solved the challenge of delivering a cost-effective, engaging loyalty mechanic that increased repeat visits and customer retention.
Event Coordinator — Trade Show Giveaway: A technology company planned a trade show booth with an interactive giveaway. The event coordinator selected 5,000 scratch-off cards with custom 8x6cm size and the company logo. Each card had a unique prize code linked to demo participation. The 5,000-piece MOQ matched the expected booth traffic. Cards were distributed to attendees who completed product demos, increasing booth engagement by 40%. The product solved the challenge of creating an engaging, measurable lead generation mechanic that incentivized booth visits and product interaction.

Questions Buyers Often Ask
Q: Promotional campaigns, loyalty programs, retail promotions, event giveaways, product packaging, lottery promotions
A:
Q: What certifications does this product hold, and can I get documentation for compliance?
A: The scratch-off cards hold ISO9001:2008 certification for quality management systems. No specific material certifications like FDA, REACH, or CE are listed. Request material safety data sheets and test reports from the factory. For EU imports, REACH compliance for paper and ink chemicals may be required. For retail or promotional use, verify if additional compliance is needed. The factory's 50 million sheets per month production capacity indicates consistent quality control processes. Packaging: plastic PP bag, box, carton, and shrink wrap.
Q: What variable data options are available, and what file format do you need?
A: Variable features include serial numbers, running numbers, barcodes, verification codes, images, and photos. Security features include micro words, verification codes, and JuYin patent techniques. Provide variable data in spreadsheet format (Excel, CSV) with unique codes for each card. The factory uses automatic code machines for variable data application. Winner rates are customized based on your requirements. Confirm maximum variable data fields and print resolution with the factory. Production capability is 50 million sheets per month.
Q: What is the realistic lead time for a custom order of 10,000 cards with variable codes?
A: Lead time is 22 days for 5,001-10,000 pieces. For 10,000 cards, expect 22 days from artwork approval and deposit confirmation. The source also indicates 7-10 days lead time according to quantity — confirm the exact timeline with the factory. Custom sizes, shapes, and colors are supported. Factor in 1-3 additional days for variable data processing. For sea freight, add 18-30 days for transit to US/EU ports. FOB ports: Shenzhen, Guangzhou.
Q: How does black core paper compare to gray core paper for scratch-off cards?
A: Black core paper has a black center layer that provides opacity — preventing the winning information from being visible through the card when held against light. Gray core paper is more economical with a gray center. Black core paper is preferred for lottery and promotional cards where security against light penetration is important. Gray core paper is suitable for lower-security applications where cost is a priority. Both materials support full-color CMYK printing, variable data, and security features like verification codes and micro words.
Q: What is your standard AQL defect tolerance level for bulk shipment acceptance?
A: The source does not specify a standard AQL level. QC checks include incoming material inspection for paper quality, in-process print registration verification, variable data validation, and final inspection of scratch-off coating adhesion. ISO9001:2008 certification ensures quality management systems. For critical orders, we recommend defining your acceptance criteria in writing and arranging third-party inspection at your cost. Pre-shipment inspection reports can be requested. Sample approval before bulk production is strongly recommended.
Q: Can I get a sample before placing a full order, and what is the sample cost?
A: Yes, custom samples are available. Sample charges are not specified — confirm with the factory during quoting. Sample approval is recommended before committing to full production to verify print quality, scratch-off coating, and variable data accuracy. Provide your artwork and variable data for accurate sampling. Custom design for logo/pattern is included free at 5,000-piece MOQ — confirm sample design costs.
Q: What is the typical reorder volume for promotional scratch-off card programs?
A: First order volume typically ranges 5,000-10,000 pieces for testing or 10,000-25,000 pieces for full campaigns. Reorder frequency usually aligns with promotional cycles — every 2-4 quarters. Second orders often increase by 50-100% after successful campaign results. For recurring promotional programs, establish a reorder schedule with the factory. The 50 million sheets per month production capacity supports large-scale programs and quick reorders.
