Free Printable Gift Card Templates

Each gift card template comes with a matching front and back. The front shows the design; the back has lines for who the card is for, your business name, address and phone number. Every word can be changed in our free online editor.

How to Make Your Own Gift Card

  1. Pick a design above and click Customize this design. The editor opens with that card loaded.
  2. Edit the front. Click “Gift Card” to change the words, font or color. You can add a photo or your logo with Add image.
  3. Edit the back. Switch to the back of the card and fill in who it’s for, the gift or amount, and your details.
  4. Download or print both sides.
  5. Cut it out and slip it into a card or a gift card holder, or send the downloaded file by email or WhatsApp.

Gift Card Size and Printing Tips

These designs have the same shape as a business card, so they print perfectly at business card size.

Print size Per Letter / A4 page Good for
3.5 × 2 inches (89 × 51 mm), business card size 10 (2 across, 5 down) A wallet-size gift card
5 × 2.9 inches (127 × 73 mm) 3 A bigger card to put inside a greeting card
  • Two-sided cards: the easiest way at home is to print the front and back side by side, cut around both, fold along the middle and glue the halves together. This also makes the card thicker.
  • Paper: use cardstock (80–110 lb / 215–300 gsm). Glossy or metallic paper suits the gold and glitter designs.
  • Perforated business card sheets give clean edges without cutting. Set the size to 3.5 × 2 inches and line up one card per box.
  • Rounded corners: a corner punch from a craft store makes a printed card look like a store-bought one.

Gift Cards for Your Business

Printed gift cards are an easy way for a small business (a salon, café, shop or studio) to sell gifts without a card system. Before you print:

  • Show the value or service clearly on the front or back, for example “$50” or “One 60-minute massage”.
  • Number every card and keep a simple list so you can mark cards as used and spot copies.
  • Add an expiry date and short terms, such as “Not redeemable for cash”. Check local rules: in the US, federal law generally requires paid gift cards to stay valid for at least 5 years. See our sample terms and conditions.
  • Add your logo with Add image. A PNG with a transparent background looks best.

Prefer a full-size certificate with room for your logo? See our business gift certificate templates and gift voucher templates.

Gift Card or Gift Certificate?

A gift card is small, wallet-sized and usually holds a set amount. A gift certificate is larger, often A4 or half-page, and is better for a specific experience like a spa day. Both can be printed at home. Browse our printable gift certificate templates or massage and spa gift certificates.
