Custom Scratch Off Card Artwork Requirements

We highly recommend contacting us before you create a design. This will ensure the artwork is print-ready right off the bat! 

We are unable to print artwork created by AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Check out our requirements below and feel free to reach out if you have any questions:

ARTWORK FORMATTING

  • Please submit artwork as one of the following file types:

    • Adobe Illustrator (.ai) with all layers/assets accessible

    • Layered PDF

  • Artwork must include at least a 0.125″ bleed around all sides.

  • CMYK color; minimum 300 dpi

  • Please use Rich Black (C-60, M-40, Y-40, K-100) in place of all black within the design.

  • All fonts must be outlined.

  • All images must be embedded.

  • Ensure that all text and images are positioned at least .0.25″ inside of the bleed.

  • Format the scratch off area to suit your preferred Scratch Off Sticker:

    • Scratch off area should be formatted to allow a 0.125″ knockout around text for clean scratch off label machine application.

    • Please allow at least a 0.125″ tolerance between the scratch off sticker and any surrounding text/design

ARTWORK SUBMISSION

  • Please send separate files of each variation.  The back of the card only needs to be sent once.  Please zip the files if they are too large to email; do not send file sharing links.

  • Please remove any circles or boxes that are under the Scratch Off Area.  We have a huge machine that puts the scratch off stickers on the cards; putting circles or boxes under the area make it tricky.  We do understand that sometimes circles and boxes are unavoidable in the design.  If you would like to incorporate any circles or boxes in your Scratch Off Area, please contact us at:  info@myscratchoffs.com prior to design.

If you have any further questions about submitting your own artwork, please contact our customer service team for more information!
