Gift vouchers are fully customisable to match your branding

When you’re looking for a way to boost sales over the festive season (and beyond), gift vouchers are a simple but powerful tool. They’re great for last-minute shoppers, brilliant for customer retention, and a fantastic way to introduce new people to your business.

At GP Print, we design and print beautiful, customisable gift vouchers and certificates that make a lasting impression — here’s how to make yours stand out.

Why Gift Vouchers Work So Well

Gift vouchers are the perfect combination of convenience and thoughtfulness. Customers love them because they take the stress out of shopping, and businesses love them because they encourage repeat sales.

Some key benefits include:

• Guaranteed revenue (even before the voucher is used!)
• Attracting new customers — people often give vouchers to friends who haven’t tried your business before
• Encouraging return visits — great for salons, restaurants, gyms, and boutiques
• No inventory needed — just print what you need, when you need it

They’re a win-win all year round, but especially during the holidays when people are actively hunting for easy, thoughtful gifts.

Design Tips for Professional Gift Vouchers

Include foiling for a luxury finish

A well-designed voucher adds instant value. You want it to look like a gift, not just a printed slip of paper. Here’s what to include:

• Branding – Your logo, colours, and fonts keep everything consistent with your business identity.
• Clear value or offer – £10, £25, “One Free Massage”, or “Afternoon Tea for Two”.
• Unique serial number – Helps with tracking and validation.
• Redemption information – Include expiry dates, terms, and how to use the voucher.
• Contact details – Website, email, and phone number for easy bookings.

Add a touch of luxury with foil printing, embossing, or laminated finishes to make the voucher feel more premium.

Creative Ideas to Make Yours Stand Out

Add bespoke envelopes for elevated customer experience

Here are a few clever ways to turn a standard voucher into a memorable gift:

• Match them with a branded envelope or wallet – adds a special touch for gifting.
• Include festive or seasonal designs – ideal for Christmas, Valentine’s, or Mother’s Day promotions.
• Offer digital printed versions – great for online businesses.
• Bundle them with a thank-you card or mini brochure – perfect for upselling other services.

And don’t forget — vouchers aren’t just for retail. They’re fantastic for service-based businesses like beauty salons, fitness studios, cafés, and even professional services like photography or coaching.

Printed Gift Certificates: The GP Print Touch

Our custom-printed vouchers are available in a range of finishes and paper types — from sleek matt laminates to elegant textured cards. We can also print matching envelopes or wallets to give your vouchers that final touch of class.
