How the format works

Printed text, numbers, codes, symbols, or simple graphics are hidden beneath a traditional silver scratch panel and revealed with a coin.

A TRUE PRINTED SCRATCH-OFF

The reveal content is printed directly on the card and covered with a professionally applied scratch-off coating. It is not a label, sticker, or removable insert.

Why this format

Why the classic scratch-off format still works

The classic scratch-off format is instantly recognizable and easy to understand. A silver panel hides text, a prize, a code, or a call to action beneath it, creating a simple interaction that works well for fundraisers, promotions, direct mail, events, and high-volume campaigns.
