Yes. Many customers add items such as �No cash value,� �Not responsible for lost or stolen gift certificates,� and, for service businesses, �May not be used toward gratuity.� Other customers add their logo, their web address, or even a line of advertising.  Call for prices.

Yes. Gift Certificate Central can match any PC-based font style. The ones listed on the order form seem to be popular fonts. Simply let your sales representative know which typestyle you wish to have and we will proof your design.

Gift Cards can have printing on the front and/or back of the card. We have the ability to add bar coding or a magnetic stripe if the conventional EZ Gift Card program isn�t perfect for you. We are also able to imprint colors other than black. Red, Blue, Green, Metallic Gold, and Metallic Silver can be used for text and logo imprints. Should none of our 35 designs suit your business, we can customize a card from scratch with your complete artwork. Please call us for a quote on any of the above because the costs for the extra services are not outlined on the web and are determined on a case-by-case basis. 

As for Gift Certificates, you can make changes to our existing designs (for example, by changing the color or adding your logo) or create a gift certificate from scratch (using our designers or your own).  For pricing, the best thing to do is to contact us through our web site or call toll free 1-800-283-1695 to discuss options and request a free quote.

Yes, up to seven digits, if needed. If you reorder without specifying the starting number, we will assume you want to start where your last gift card or gift certificate left off. But you can request any starting number at any time. Another option: Some customers with multiple facilities have a different imprint for each location and add a corresponding prefix to their consecutive numbering for easier identification and tracking.

The quality of the art received plays a big part in determining the quality of the final product. Black-and-white camera-ready artwork (1 to 3 colors, no tints) or digital files (1 to 4-color process) work best.   Camera-ready: solid black image on smooth, white paper, printed at a resolution of 300 dpi or better, no smaller than the expected reproduction size.  Digitally: For PCs, Corel Draw up to 7.0; for the Mac, Illustrator up to 11.0, Photo Paint up to 7.0, or PhotoShop up to 11.0.  We accept EPS and TIFF files from either platform. Use floppy disks (up to 2 MB), zip disks (up to 100 MB), CDs and email attachments (non-compressed okay for under 2 MB, �stuffed� for over 2 MB). Faxes are not acceptable. We reserve the right to reject art that we believe will not reproduce properly. For best results, contact us or call toll free 1-800-283-1695 before sending custom art.

Before printing your order we will fax or email a proof if you request one or if we have any questions. There is no charge for this unless you request to see a proof more than twice for the same order. All custom cards or certificates require customer pre-approval.

Yes. EZ Gift Cards can be ordered in multiple styles or multiple denominations under the same quantity umbrella. We call this our VARIETY PACK.  The variety pack is available for purchase online or by calling 1-800-283-1695.

Plastic cards are 30 mils thick, exactly like most credit cards. The paper cards are 15-point coated card stock, like postcards.

Our standard EZ Gift Cards are part of a manual gift card program and don�t require electronic terminals. However, we can imprint and encode a magnetic stripe on each card if you require an electronic system. Please call for a quote on this process.

Take one sheet with its attached duplicate record and place it in the clipboard. Don�t use more than one sheet at a time. The first sheet will come on the clipboard ready to use. Be sure to use a ballpoint pen and press firmly when filling out a label. The duplicate image will darken after a few minutes. Keep your security labels locked away. Your EZ Gift Cards aren�t activated until you place a security label on the back of a card. Only at that point will the card have a value.

Extra security labels are included in case of a partial redemption. If a customer has a gift card for $50 and spends only $32 on the first visit, you may not want to give the remaining cash back. If so, fill out a new security label for the remaining balance (in this case, $18) with the �PR� box checked off. �PR� stands for �Partial Redemption,� which tells you not to expect that money ($18) in the register at the end of the day. This is a more cost-effective solution than issuing a new card. Extra labels are also included in case you make a mistake filling out a label.

Yes. For a small one-time fee, your security label can be altered to capture the exact information you need to track.

You will first attach your display sign to the display rack by using double-sided tape already attached to the sign. Your cards go in your display rack, which can be placed right next to your cash register. Gift cards don�t need to be kept under lock and key like paper gift certificates. They can be displayed in clear view of your patrons. Since the security labels are the only part of your system that needs to be locked away, you have a higher chance of your customers noticing that you offer gift cards and buying them. The table tents, window decal, and promo button add to the promotion by giving your customers more chances to see that you sell gift cards.

You can on the certificates, but be aware of how this change will affect your entries in the journal book, which cannot be customized.

Not usually. Most Gift-Track reorders consist of the gift certificates, an equal number of envelopes, and an appropriate number of journal books. Omitting the pegboard case, standard with first orders, saves you $10.

Yes. Some customers want the Duplicate format but prefer one of the many other Gift-Track designs, most of which can be converted. Call 1-800-283-1695 for availability and pricing.

The red or blue Stand-Up Display Signs that come free with every gift certificate order are automatically shipped with a sample of your distinct gift certificate already affixed to it.  EZ Gift Card signs are not customizable.

The Gift-Track System�s wire-bound journal book holds 300 gift certificate entries. The Gift Certificate Record Book for our other gift certificates and EZ Gift Cards holds 400 entries.

By purchasing EZ Reward Cards to match your EZ Gift Cards, you can present a consistent image to your customers.  Both systems feature the same beautiful, full color images on the cards.

Yes. EZ Reward Cards can be printed on 30-mil plastic or 15-point coated paper. However, if your Reward Cards program contains an element of usage on it (card being marked for every visit a customer makes), only the stickers can be used. The plastic cards cannot be stamped or punched.
