Printing notes

  • Print at Actual size (100%). Three certificates fit one Letter or A4 page; cut along the dashed lines with a paper trimmer.
  • Serial numbers are for your own records: keep a list of numbers, amounts, buyers and redemption dates. They do not stop copying, so a unique number you log yourself is safer.
  • Write the expiry date and your phone number or website on the certificate. Many places limit or forbid expiry dates, so check your local gift certificate rules before you print.
  • This page only makes a printable design. It does not hold money, track balances or verify certificates.

  • Print shop orders with bleed and crop marks

Why this gift certificate template saves an hour

Three things most free gift certificate downloads leave out.

Three gift certificates on one sheet, already laid out

Each certificate is 190 × 83 mm, so three fit on one portrait Letter or A4 page with dashed cut lines between them. No Word table, no nudging boxes: type your business name, amount and message once and all three fill in. Prefer one big certificate? Switch to one per page in landscape and it scales up.

Numbered serials and an expiry date on every certificate

Set a prefix such as GC- and a start number, say how many you need, and the template counts up: GC-0001, GC-0002, GC-0003. Add a valid-until date and a terms line, or paste a list with a recipient, amount and expiry on each row for a batch of up to 100.

Salon & spa, restaurant and general designs with your logo

Start from a rose floral spa design, a black-and-white serif restaurant design or a gold general one, then upload your logo (PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG) and change the border, color theme and font. Your logo is read inside the browser and is never uploaded.

How to make and print a gift certificate template at home

From a blank page to a cut stack of numbered certificates in about ten minutes.

  1. Choose a design and add your business details

    Tap General, Salon & Spa or Restaurant. Type your business name, upload your logo and set the title, for example Spa Gift Certificate. Keep the message short; two lines is the limit on the certificate.

    • A square or wide logo with a transparent background looks cleanest.
    • Use your shop's real name and phone number so the receiver knows where to book.
  2. Set the amount, expiry and terms

    Enter an amount such as $50 or a service such as 60-minute massage, and a valid-until date. Add terms like not redeemable for cash. Check your local gift certificate rules for minimum validity before you print.

    • In the US, federal rules generally bar gift certificates from expiring within 5 years; California bans most expiry dates.
    • A certificate for one named service can follow different rules in some places.
  3. Number your certificates

    Choose a prefix, a start number and how many certificates you want. For named recipients, paste a list with one recipient, amount and expiry per line. Check the preview page by page.

    • Keep a spreadsheet of numbers, buyers, amounts and redemption dates; the number alone does not prevent copying.
    • Start the next batch at a higher number so numbers never repeat.
  4. Print at 100%, cut and finish

    Download the PDF or click Print, choose Actual size or 100%, never Fit to page, and print page 1 on plain paper first. Then use 65–110 lb cardstock, cut along the dashed lines and add a signature, a stamp and a ribbon.

    • A paper trimmer cuts cleaner than scissors.
    • Sign each certificate by hand; it feels more personal and is harder to fake.

Gift certificate template FAQ

What to write, how long it lasts, how to number it and how to print it.

Is this gift certificate template really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no email gate, no trial and no watermark. The certificates are drawn in your browser and the PDF or PNG is saved straight to your device, so your logo and recipient names are never uploaded.

What should I put on a gift certificate?

Add your business name and logo, the amount or service, who it is for and from, a unique serial number, a valid-until date, a short terms line, your contact details and a signature. In the US, the federal rule for gift certificates also expects the expiry date, or a statement that funds do not expire, plus a toll-free number to appear on the certificate.

Do gift certificates expire?

It depends on where you are. Under US federal rules (Regulation E), a gift certificate generally cannot expire within 5 years of issue, and California bans most expiry dates. Australia requires at least 3 years for cards sold since 1 November 2019, and Ontario allows expiry only for single-service cards. This is general information, not legal advice, so check your local rules.

How do I make a gift certificate template with serial numbers?

Choose a prefix such as GC-, a start number and the number of certificates, and each certificate gets the next number. For a mix of recipients and amounts, paste one line per certificate with the recipient, amount and expiry. Keep a log of numbers, buyers and redeemed dates.

What size is a gift certificate template?

There is no single standard. Wallet cards are about 3.5 × 2 in, check-style certificates about 6 × 2.75 in. It uses 190 × 83 mm (7.5 × 3.3 in), which fits three on a portrait Letter or A4 page; switch to one per page for a full landscape sheet.

What is the difference between a gift certificate and a gift voucher?

Gift certificate is the common US term, gift voucher is used in the UK, Australia and Ireland, and gift card usually means a card that holds a balance. The printed page works the same: it names an amount or service and is redeemed at your business. This page produces a printed design only; it does not hold or track money.

Can I use this gift certificate template for my salon or restaurant?

Yes. Choose the Salon & Spa or Restaurant design, add your logo, and print three per page. Use a service name such as 60-minute massage or an amount such as $100, and put your booking phone number in the terms. Many small businesses print 10–60 certificates a year this way.

How do I print gift certificates at home?

Download the PDF, choose Actual size or 100% in the print dialog and print one test page on plain paper. Use 65–110 lb cardstock for the real run, then cut along the dashed lines with a paper trimmer.

Are my logo and names private?

Yes. Your logo is resized inside your browser and the names and amounts are only used to draw the certificates. Nothing is sent to a server, and closing the tab clears everything, so download the PDF if you want to print again.
