Printing Instructions
Gift cards printed can have up to a 0.32cm margin of error regarding how images are centred due to the card cutting process. This is an industry-standard, which can occasionally result in up to a 3mm off-centre image in any direction for the artwork, and would not be eligible for replacement.

Due to the nature of physical gift cards, we are unable to offer any returns/refunds on gift card orders once they have been printed. For more information please visit our Physical Gift Card FAQ.
