Scratch Off
Scratch off is a heat-process foil stamp that can be removed with the edge of a coin to reveal the information printed beneath it. A standard or custom shaped die presses the foil onto the surface, which leaves the foil in the specific shaped area. Traditionally, this effect is seen on giveaway and contest printed materials, but has several other creative uses as well. Some businesses develop trivia games or hidden story segments that are revealed only after the foil is removed.
The Scratch Off concept contributes to the design originality of effective marketing materials. Consider incorporating an unusual shape, like a mustache or sunglasses, or fit the scratch off into a portion of the image, like the lenses of the sunglasses alone. Scratch off is a perfect method for increasing interest in your business cards, brochures, post cards, mail pieces, and newsletters.
