Plastic: More durable, water-resistant, higher cost ($0.15-0.40 per card), not biodegradable, can be reused. For lottery and promotional campaigns where cards are discarded after use, cardboard is the practical and sustainable choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Printing with Variable Data vs. Offset Printing without Variable Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigital variable data: Each card can have unique code, password, or barcode. Allows tracking of individual redemptions. Setup cost moderate, per-card cost higher for small runs but competitive at 10k+. Offset without variable data: All cards identical, no tracking, lower per-card cost at very high volumes (100k+). For promotions requiring unique codes (e.g., one-time use coupons), digital variable data is essential. For static designs with no variable info, offset may be cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMulti-Scenario Buyer Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLottery Operator – State Lottery Instant Win Game\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA state lottery commission needed 500,000 scratch cards for a new instant win game. Each card required a hidden prize code (variable data) under the scratch-off layer. The six-layer construction with black core paper was mandatory for security. Digital printing allowed each card to have a unique 10-digit code. The double-layer scratch-off ink with slicer color provided tamper evidence. Lead time: 6 workdays from proof approval. The cards were packed in cartons and shipped via sea freight to the US. The lottery reported zero security breaches. Reorder: 1 million cards for the next game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetail Marketing Manager – Holiday Coupon Campaign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA national pharmacy chain ordered 50,000 scratch cards for a holiday promotion. Each card revealed a discount code (10-50% off) after scratching. Variable data printing was used for unique codes. The eco-friendly cardboard material aligned with the chain's sustainability goals. Size was standard credit card (85.6x54mm). The scratch-off ink was silver with a snowflake pattern (custom slicer color). Production lead time: 5 workdays. The cards were distributed at checkout counters. Redemption rate was 32%, exceeding expectations. Reorder: 100,000 cards for the next holiday season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePromotional Products Distributor – Sweepstakes for Beverage Brand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA beverage brand ran a summer sweepstakes: scratch cards under bottle caps revealed instant win codes. The distributor ordered 200,000 cards, each with a random 8-character code. The black core paper ensured codes were not visible before scratching. Digital printing at 1200 DPI produced vibrant brand colors. The scratch-off layer had a rainbow slicer color for added visual appeal. Lead time: 7 workdays including variable data processing. The campaign generated over 300,000 online entries. Reorder: 500,000 cards for the next promotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ Matrix\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Production:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can you print a QR code under the scratch-off that links to a website?\u003cbr\u003eYes. Print the QR code as part of the variable data (layer 3) under the scratch-off. Minimum QR code size is 15x15mm for reliable scanning. We test scannability on a sample before bulk production. Provide the URL for QR generation. The scratch-off ink is applied over the QR code area; we ensure ink thickness does not interfere with scanning. Recommended: use high-contrast (dark QR on light background).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLogistics \u0026amp; Shipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e How many scratch cards fit in a 20ft container?\u003cbr\u003eCarton dimensions not specified. For credit-card size cards (85.6x54mm, thickness ~0.3mm), a carton of 10,000 cards typically measures 40x30x20cm and weighs 8-10kg. A 20ft container (28 CBM) holds approximately 1,200 cartons = 12 million cards. For exact calculation, provide your card size and thickness. Sea freight LCL minimum 2 CBM is about 80 cartons = 800,000 cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuality \u0026amp; Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e How do you ensure the scratch-off ink is non-toxic?\u003cbr\u003eThe scratch-off ink is not certified food-grade or child-safe. For general promotional use (not intended for ingestion), the ink is safe for normal handling. We can provide a material safety data sheet (MSDS) upon request. For applications where cards may be handled by children, we recommend third-party testing for heavy metals (lead, cadmium) and phthalates. SupplyBatch can arrange SGS testing at buyer cost. The cardboard material itself is eco-friendly and non-toxic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbutton data-open-header-quote=\"\" type=\"button\" class=\"header-cta-btn header-cta-btn--quote\"\u003eGet a Quote\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SupplyBatch","offers":[{"title":"Mixed Color","offer_id":48422695796893,"sku":"107796769607","price":0.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/1354\/3325\/files\/Hef35e63b3580446c93c8f6d9e23014cdm.webp?v=1781353262","url":"https:\/\/www.supplybatch.com\/products\/wholesale-custom-cardboard-scratch-cards-10k-moq-digital-print-variable-data-eco-friendly","provider":"SupplyBatch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
