Green Gift Cards Paperboard
Compostable to EN13432, recyclable and responsibly manufactured at one of the world’s most environmentally friendly forestry companies and paper mills. The material used to make Green Gift Cards is a high quality board that boasts superior print and colour reproduction properties. A patented coating formula provides outstanding lightfastness gives the end product a longer life. With strength, rigidity and thickness comparable to PVC, it is especially suitable for gift, membership, loyalty and contactless cards. Our coated material feels and looks like plastic when finished in gloss cellulose lamination. Alternatively, if you want a natural finish, our unique uncoated material is the perfect way to convey to your customers that the card is not plastic! Add the Plastic Free Trust Mark and you make a strong environmental statement. All our cards come with the option of coated, uncoated, gloss, matt or satin finishes.
