Where can I buy scratch card paper?

May 13, 2007 1:34 PM

Is there such thing as scratch card paper/transfer? And if so where might I be able to get it?

A long time ago I saw these really cool scratch card stickers that let you make any message or image you wanted into a scratch card simply by applying the transfer/sticker onto the paper and cutting out the sticker.

I know there are companies that will print personalized scratch cards for you, but I unfortunately need too have the materially myself. So what I'm asking is it possible to by sheets of this stuff?

You can find scratch off stickers in different sizes on ebay and sometimes at etsy.com

Response by poster: Thanks @thinman that is the closet I've seen to what I'm after. Ideally it would be an A4 sheet of this stuff, the reason being so I can cut out my own unique shapes. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Response by poster: Also thanks @fluffly battle kitten, found lots of different shapes for scratch off stickers on eBay. Guess I wasn't using the correct keywords.
