FAQ
A gift certificate should include:
- The recipient’s name
- The amount awarded
- The expiration date
- An authorized signature
- Contact details
- Any other relevant information
You may want to include Terms of Use on the back of the certificate, or any other details that specify how the certificate should be used.
Gift certificates are usually in landscape orientation, around 8 x 3.75 inches in size. Larger certificates are 8.5 x 4 inches, and smaller ones are 3.5 x 2 inches. Gift certificates are larger than gift cards and printed on paper or thicker card stock.
Many people use sans-serif for gift certificates as it’s clear and easily legible. You may choose whichever typography suits your theme, but keep in mind that too many fonts or fancy styles may make your certificate look busy. Stay simple, clean and straightforward.
