A gift voucher and a loyalty card from the same hand look like one business, not two. We design them together, so the stamp card, the voucher and the sleeve share a grid and a palette, and you brief us once. Our loyalty card design page has the sizes and the options.
Gift voucher design
A gift that brings them back.
Good gift voucher design makes a voucher feel worth giving and easy to redeem. We design printed vouchers, plastic gift cards and e-vouchers.
What works
What makes a gift voucher worth buying?
A voucher is a present someone has chosen to give, so it has to look like one. The front carries your name, the value and a design that feels like a gift rather than a receipt. The back does the quiet work: the serial number, the expiry date, how to redeem it and the terms in plain words.
We design the carrier too. A voucher in a printed sleeve feels like a gift; one pushed across the counter on its own doesn’t. Online, the e-voucher arrives as a PDF the giver can forward or print. It is one of the smaller jobs in our print design service, and one of the most used.
Formats
Which voucher format suits you?
Printed vouchers suit counters and gift sleeves, plastic cards suit tills with scanners, and e-vouchers suit online shops and last-minute buyers.
| Format | Size | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| DL voucher | 99 × 210 mm (US: 4 × 9 in) | Gift sleeves, salons, spas and restaurants |
| A6 voucher | 105 × 148 mm (US: 4 × 6 in) | Counter displays and vouchers sent by post |
| Card-size voucher | 85 × 55 mm (US: 3.5 × 2 in) | Wallets, and a match for your loyalty card |
| Plastic gift card | 85.6 × 54 mm (the bank-card size) | Tills with barcode or magnetic stripe readers |
| E-voucher | A4 or US Letter PDF, plus a phone-size image | Online shops and gifts bought on the day |
Numbering, perforation, foil and scratch-off panels are added by the printer, so we agree them before the artwork is set.

Questions
Questions about gift voucher design
Question not here? Send it to us and we will answer it directly.
Ask a questionHow do we get a gift voucher designed?
Email hello@redfoxbranding.com or fill in the project form with the values you sell, where the vouchers change hands and how they are redeemed. We send a fixed quote in GBP, USD or ZAR, design the front and back, show you proofs and supply the files for your printer or your online shop.
Should the voucher have an expiry date?
That depends on where you trade. In the USA the CARD Act sets a minimum life for gift cards, South Africa’s Consumer Protection Act sets its own, and UK terms must be fair to the buyer. We are designers, not lawyers, so we lay out the expiry and terms your adviser gives us.
Can the voucher be sold online as well as in the shop?
Yes. We supply an e-voucher the buyer receives by email as a PDF, with the same design as the printed one and a single-use code your shop marks as redeemed. We built Beacon Lighting’s online shop, so we know what a checkout needs from a voucher code.
What do you need from us?
Your logo and brand colours, the values you want to offer, the terms and expiry wording, how a voucher is redeemed and any template from your printer or till supplier. If you have brand guidelines, send them; if not, we work from your website and business cards.
