2013-09-13 · What kind of ink should be used for scratch cards?

    For scratch card printing, you must choose a specialized ink suitable for scratch card printing. Here, we recommend our company's imported scratch card ink. Scratch card ink: print ink above the password that needs to be kept confidential. When using it, scrape the ink open to see the password below. Scratch card ink has high coverage and good wear resistance. It can be easily scraped off with hard objects or fingernails. When removed, the ink automatically falls back without scattering into powder, making it environmentally friendly. After printing, it does not increase the difficulty of scraping as storage time increases. Application scope: lottery tickets, lottery tickets, cards, electronic code anti-counterfeiting labels, confidential documents, flashbook displays, and children's scratch art, among other fields. Advantages: Scrapes cleanly, with good coverage. Disadvantages: Cannot use printing methods other than screen printing. Ink properties: colored viscous liquid, oil-based ink.
    With scratch cards widely used in industries such as telecommunications, IT, catering, supermarkets, and education, Especially in the telecommunications industry, due to the industry's particularity, scratch cards have become a type of security. Therefore, the materials used, printing, password coverage, and design for card manufacturers are higher than in other industries. In the telecommunications industry, scratch cards are generally called accountable phone password cards. In other industries, they are commonly referred to as game point cards, internet cards, lottery cards, and learning cards.
    Currently, the widely used prize scratch cards on the market are a promotional method adopted by manufacturers and merchants to encourage consumption and reward consumers, and it has proven effective. Using scratch cards and peel cards to promote companies' products and services, this internationally popular marketing method has gradually been adopted in Chinese mainland.

Scratch cards are much more difficult to produce than ordinary printed materials and are generally designed and manufactured by professional anti-counterfeiting companies or specialized printing factories.
The following quality requirements apply to scratch cards:
1. Accuracy of the content
    The content of the scratch card must be complete and accurate. If it is a scratch card, it should provide detailed information about the prize, how to claim the prize, the event date, and the validity of the ticket;
2. Good print quality
    Scratch card printing is accurate and exquisite, and print quality is part of the product's image. The printing must meet the quality requirements of the printed material;
3. Appropriate Scraping Performance
    Because scratch cards contain important information or awards beneath the scratch coating, the scratch-off performance of the coating is a key indicator of their quality. They should be easy to scrape but not too easy. If they are too easy to scrape, the scratch card will be worn off during production and circulation, affecting its use.
4. Effective anti-counterfeiting measures
    In the design and production of scratch cards, their anti-counterfeiting performance should be fully considered, ensuring that the anti-counterfeiting measures used effectively prevent others from making it difficult to batch counterfeit within a certain period.
