How to print variable data on Scratch Cards?
In the competitive world of promotional and gaming industries, scratch cards remain a popular tool for engagement. To enhance efficiency and security, many businesses are turning to UV one-pass printers for printing variable data—such as unique codes, serial numbers, or personalized messages—directly onto scratch cards.
Why Use a UV One-Pass Printer?
A UV one-pass printer combines high-speed printing with ultraviolet curing technology, ensuring instant drying and smudge-proof results. This makes it ideal for scratch-off coatings, as the printed data remains intact even after scratching.
Steps to Print Variable Data on Scratch Cards
- Design Preparation – Create a template with fixed graphics and a designated area for variable data (e.g., barcodes, PINs).
- Data Integration – Connect the printer to a database or variable data software to dynamically print unique information on each card.
- UV Ink Application – The printer applies UV-curable ink, which dries instantly under UV light, preventing smudging.
- Scratch Layer Coating – After printing, a scratch-off overlay is applied to conceal the variable data securely.
Benefits
- High-Speed Personalization – Print thousands of unique scratch cards in a single run.
- Enhanced Security – UV ink resists tampering, reducing fraud risks.
- Cost-Effective – Eliminates the need for pre-printed batches.
