printing your gift card

How you print your gift card depends on what type of gift card you have created.

For our example, we created a two-sided gift card. For two- sided cards, you print the front and back of the card on one side of the paper. Then you put that paper back into the printer to print the message on the inside of the card.

One-sided gift cards are printed on the front and back only, with one pass through the printer. The inside is left blank, allowing you to write your personal message.

Note: Follow these instructions even if your printer has a duplex (2-sided) printing option. Before printing, review the detailed tips and instructions in the online topic called “printing your designs.” Exactly how you make selections for printing depends on your printer and the type of media you are printing on. Refer to your printer’s help for more information.
