A standard printed voucher or coupon communicates an offer the moment it is read; a scratch card delays that reveal, turning a passive printed message into a small interactive moment. That interactivity is the whole reason scratch cards get used for promotions rather than a simpler printed card - the act of scratching itself creates engagement a flat printed offer cannot, which is why they consistently see stronger response rates in retail and event promotions.
Deluxe Printing produces scratch cards in-house at our Al Qusais facility, on 350gsm art matt card with matt lamination on both sides, so the card itself feels considered even before it is scratched.
Three scratch panel shapes are confirmed: strip (a rectangular scratch-off band), round, and fully custom, matched to the card’s design. The choice of shape is largely aesthetic - all three use the same silver scratch strip material and reveal the hidden content equally well - so the decision comes down to which shape fits the card’s layout and branding.

Restaurants, retail shops, and malls order scratch cards for in-store promotions and raffles, using the scratch element to draw customer participation. Businesses running product launches or seasonal sales order scratch cards for giveaways with tiered prizes. Marketing teams order scratch-off stickers specifically when they want to add the scratch element to existing flyers or packaging rather than producing a new standalone card.
We print in-house at our Al Qusais facility, with a turnaround of 3 to 7 working days depending on quantity. Custom quantities beyond the standard tiers are available on request. Design support and test prints are available to confirm the card looks correct before a full production run. Delivery is available and covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain.
