Whether you&#8217;re a small business owner, a nonprofit organization, or an individual looking to provide a unique gift, creating gift certificates online offers a convenient way to design and distribute them. One of the key decisions you&#8217;ll face when creating gift certificates is whether to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/should-you-print-your-own-labels-or-order-custom-labels\/\">print them yourself or order professionally printed<\/a> certificates. In this article, we&#8217;ll explore the pros and cons of each option to help you make an informed choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-creating-gift-certificates-online\">Benefits of creating gift certificates online<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-creategiftcertificates-gifting\" alt=\"Make printable gift certificates or order professionally printed gift certificates\" style=\"width:225px;height:225px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before diving into the printing options, let&#8217;s briefly touch upon the advantages of creating gift certificates online. By using online platforms, you gain access to a wide range of templates and customization options, allowing you to design certificates that align with your brand or personal style. Online software also simplifies the process of generating unique codes or serial numbers for security purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best ways to build relationships with your customers is by providing a positive experience they&#8217;ll always remember. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpscout.com\/blog\/customer-loyalty-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Loyalty programs are extremely popular<\/a> but gift certificates can also help attract new customers, reward your loyal shoppers and even help make something that went wrong go right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Printing your own gift certificates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-creategiftcertificates-apology\" alt=\"Example of printable gift certificate\" style=\"width:225px;height:225px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to print the gift certificates yourself, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. One of the main advantages is cost-effectiveness, as you eliminate the need for professional printing services. You have the freedom to choose the paper quality, sizing, and format based on your preferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Printable formats such as PDF templates or tools like <a href=\"\/software\/design-and-print\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Avery Design &amp; Print software<\/a> make it relatively easy to customize and print certificates at your convenience. However, it&#8217;s essential to ensure that you have access to a high-quality printer and appropriate paper stock to maintain a professional appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ordering-professionally-printed-gift-certificates\">Ordering professionally printed gift certificates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-creategiftcertificates-loyalty\" alt=\"example of professionally printed gift certificate\" style=\"width:225px;height:225px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several benefits to ordering professionally printed gift certificates. <a href=\"\/custom-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Professional printing services like Avery WePrint<\/a>, provide access to advanced printing technologies, which ensure crisp and high-resolution results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The use of premium card stock and finishing options, such as matte or glossy finishes, can enhance the overall presentation and perceived value of the certificate. Additionally, professional printing services often offer bulk printing options, saving you time and effort when creating a large number of certificates. However, it&#8217;s important to consider the associated costs and delivery time when outsourcing the printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choosing-the-right-option\">Choosing the right option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To determine which option is better for you, consider the following factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Budget: Assess your finances and weigh the cost-effectiveness of printing your own certificates versus professional printing services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantity: If you need a large volume of gift certificates, <a href=\"\/custom-printing\/cards\/\">professional printing services may be more efficient and cost-effective.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time: Printing your own certificates allows for immediate availability, whereas professional printing may require additional time for production and delivery. However, some printing services such as Avery WePrint, can have your cards shipped in as few as 2 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality: Assess your printing capabilities and the desired level of professionalism. If you aim for a polished and premium presentation, professional printing is likely the better choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to printing gift certificates, both options have their merits. Printing your own certificates provides cost savings and immediate availability while ordering professionally printed ones ensures high-quality results and a professional finish. Consider your specific requirements, budget, and time constraints to make the best decision for your needs. Ultimately, the goal is to create gift certificates that make a lasting impression and bring joy to both givers and recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, if you need any help ordering gift certificates or printing your own, please reach out to the customer care team at Avery at <a href=\"tel:800-462-8379\">(800) 462-8379<\/a>. They will be happy to answer questions or walk you through either printing process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make printable gift certificates or order custom gift certificates online Other articles you might like: In the world of gifting, gift certificates have always been popular as a versatile and convenient choice.

During her time with Avery, she wrote website content, marketing emails, and blog articles covering labeling, organization, small business topics, and more. Before joining Avery, Melanie worked in journalism, public relations, sports writing, and commercial real estate. Articles displaying Melanie's byline were originally written during her time with Avery. Some may have been reviewed or updated by the Avery editorial team since publication. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/www.avery.com\",\"www.linkedin.com\\\/in\\\/melanieneff\",\"mneff@avery.com\"],\"knowsAbout\":[\"labels\",\"stickers\",\"sports\",\"real estate finance\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.avery.com\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/mneff\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"How to Make Gift Certificates","description":"See how to make printable gift certificates or professionally printed gift certificates online.

During her time with Avery, she wrote website content, marketing emails, and blog articles covering labeling, organization, small business topics, and more. Before joining Avery, Melanie worked in journalism, public relations, sports writing, and commercial real estate. Articles displaying Melanie's byline were originally written during her time with Avery. Some may have been reviewed or updated by the Avery editorial team since publication. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.avery.com","www.linkedin.com\/in\/melanieneff","mneff@avery.com"],"knowsAbout":["labels","stickers","sports","real estate finance"],"url":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/author\/mneff\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8637"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28879,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8637\/revisions\/28879"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
