Die-cutting and perforations on scratch-off cards
Die-cutting produces custom card shapes (rounded corners, hangers, badges, tickets) beyond the standard rectangle. Perforations allow multi-panel tear-off designs, common on Advent calendars and multi-visit loyalty cards. Both add ~$0.05-$0.20 per card depending on complexity.

Overview
What it is, at a glance
The standard rectangle works for most jobs, but custom die-cuts and perforations unlock formats the flat card can't do: door-hanger holes, tear-off entry stubs, month-view advent calendars, and shaped promotional pieces.
