Loyalty card printing for the way you reward customers
Start with what happens at the counter. A clear reward, a practical card and a simple staff process help your scheme work consistently.
Stamp and visit cards
Record a qualifying purchase or visit in a marked area. Tell us if staff need to stamp, punch or write on the card so we can discuss a suitable stock, panel and finish.
Barcode and points cards
Use an individual card number or code with your existing till or loyalty platform. Your system records visits, points or spend against the identifier supplied on the card.
Discount and VIP cards
Show a customer’s tier, benefits or expiry date. A clear design makes the offer easy for staff to recognise, with the scheme’s rules and contact details on the reverse.
A café may use a visit-based offer, while a retailer may link purchases to an account. A salon may prefer a service reward or a VIP tier. Tell us how your own scheme works.
Choose the right material for your loyalty cards
Consider how often customers handle the card and how long you expect it to stay in use. The material and surface also need to suit any writing, stamping or scanning.
Plastic loyalty cards
A familiar wallet-sized option for cards used repeatedly. Discuss gloss or matt finishes, printed sides and any variable details. Standard CR80 cards are approximately 86 × 54mm.
Confirm the thickness, stock and any technology with ACB as part of your quote.
Eco material options
Compare recycled PVC, board and wood around the card’s intended use. For a stamp or write-on scheme, agree the surface and check it with your chosen ink or pen.
Personalised loyalty cards that work with your system
Example card artwork. The final data and code layout are agreed for your scheme.
Give each customer the details your scheme needs. ACB can discuss names, sequential numbers, customer identifiers, tiers and expiry dates, alongside barcodes or QR codes.
A shared QR code can open a sign-up page or your scheme information. An individual barcode or QR code can carry a customer identifier when your platform supports that format.
Check compatibility before print
Ask your till or loyalty provider which code type and data format it requires. Then check a sample with the actual reader. For magnetic-stripe or contactless cards, we also need the exact technology and encoding requirements.
Design a loyalty card that is clear at the counter
Keep the main action easy to find. Use the front for your brand and reward message, and plan the reverse around the information staff and customers need.
Explain the reward
State what customers collect and how they redeem it. Include the key conditions, any expiry date and where to find the full scheme information.
Leave usable space
Allow room for stamp boxes, a write-on area or the customer details you need. Tell us how the card is marked so the material and finish can be specified.
Keep codes readable
Leave clear space around barcodes and QR codes. Check that the printed number matches the encoded value and that the code fits your reader’s requirements.
Send your logo, artwork and a sample of the variable data. We will confirm the required card dimensions, bleed and safe area for the chosen specification before you approve the proof.
If your scheme uses customer details, agree the data format and transfer route with ACB first. For general guidance, see the ICO’s data protection advice for small organisations.
How our loyalty card printing service works
01 · Brief the scheme
Tell us the quantity, card use, material preference, required date and any reader or software specification.
02 · Agree the design
Confirm both sides, the finish and any personalisation. Supply artwork or discuss the layout you need with ACB.
03 · Check and approve
Review the proof, spelling, numbers and reward wording. Confirm the sample code data and compatibility before the full print run.
04 · Print and supply
Once the specification and proof are approved, we arrange production and the agreed delivery. Plan your next issue around the same master design.
Keep your next loyalty card issue consistent
Plan your first order around the customers you expect to enrol, the locations using the scheme and the time before a reorder. Keep an approved design and a clear numbering sequence for future runs.
For multiple branches, tell us who will order and where the cards need to be delivered. Regular personalised issues, a branded ordering portal and card mailing can be discussed around your programme.
Need a smaller card format?
Printed key tags can give customers another way to carry a loyalty identifier. Discuss the format, numbering and scanning requirements with ACB before choosing the layout.

Loyalty card printing: your questions answered
How much does loyalty card printing cost?
The price depends on the print quantity and card specification. Material, finish, personalisation, technology and delivery all matter. Send your brief to ACB for a tailored quotation.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
The minimum depends on your chosen material and production route. Ask ACB to confirm the quantity for your specification, including any small replacement or repeat runs you may need.
Can I stamp or write on a plastic loyalty card?
Tell us about the stamp, punch or pen you intend to use. We can discuss a suitable write-on area, panel or alternative stock. Check the chosen surface with your ink or pen before approving the full run.
Can every loyalty card have a different barcode or number?
Yes. Individual numbers, names, barcodes and QR codes can be discussed as part of personalisation. Agree the format with your loyalty provider, then supply checked data and confirm how future card numbers will be allocated.
Will the printed cards manage my points scheme?
Your till or loyalty platform manages points, balances and redemptions. The printed card provides the identifier or code your system expects. Confirm the format and test it with the actual reader before production.
Are eco loyalty card materials available?
Ask about recycled PVC, board and wood options. The right choice depends on handling, expected card life, stamping and any technology. Compare our eco card materials and discuss the intended use with ACB.
Can you match our gift cards or supply key tags?
We can discuss a consistent brand design across your printed gift cards and loyalty cards. Printed key tags provide another format to consider, with the specification agreed separately.
When will my loyalty cards be ready?
Timing depends on your quantity, materials, artwork, personalisation and delivery arrangements. Tell us your required date at the quotation stage. We will confirm a schedule around proof approval and the agreed production route.
