Scratch cards and tickets are original and interactive media, used for games, marketing campaigns or customer gifts. While their use seems simple, their manufacture is based on a complex and precise process , requiring specialized machines and advanced technical expertise .
At Gaveau and Co , we have developed, thanks to our partner workshop, expert in scratch-off printing , a range of 100% customizable scratch-off cards and tickets , available in small and very large series . These products are offered directly or under our Secretly Made brand, specialist in interactive stationery.
🎯 A precise and meticulous manufacturing process
Unlike traditional printing, the production of a scratch card or ticket requires several technical steps to ensure perfect opacity of the hidden message and a smooth user experience.
🔹 Base printing : the message or visual to be hidden is printed in high quality on premium paper.
🔹 Application of technical layers : a succession of selective varnishes is applied with a digital press to guarantee perfect opacity and adhesion .
🔹 Added scratch-off surface : The area to be masked is covered with a special ink that easily comes off when scratched, without damaging the paper underneath.
💡 This process is mastered by very few workshops in France , and we are able to offer ultra-personalized scratch cards and tickets, in small or large series .
