Gift and packaging

Wooden Gift Cards

Wooden gift cards work best when stored value, NFC or QR redemption, activation labels, sleeves, boxes, and the visual gift moment are approved together instead of treating the card as a loose printed insert.

Design the packaging with the card.

Gift card programs should specify sleeves, boxes, activation labels, numbering, and POS redemption data together, so the wooden gift card arrives ready for retail and looks like a present, not a receipt.

Use premium print effects as accents.

Foil, white ink, and gloss work best as restrained accents on wood. A calm composition keeps the natural material forward and stops the card from reading like printed plastic.

Connect stored value to your POS.

Gift IDs, QR payloads, NFC URLs, and serials are matched to the redemption or POS platform up front, so every wooden gift card activates and reconciles cleanly at checkout.
