Appointment | Gift Cards

Appointment cards are small branded reminder cards used to help customers remember their next booking, treatment, consultation or visit. They are especially useful for salons, clinics, dentists, beauty businesses, therapists, consultants and service-based businesses. Gift vouchers are printed cards that let customers buy credit, experiences, treatments, meals, services or products as a gift. Together, appointment cards and gift vouchers help businesses encourage repeat visits, reduce missed appointments and increase customer loyalty.

Print Zoo’s appointment cards are 85mm x 55mm, which is the same practical size as a standard business card. This makes them easy for customers to keep in a purse, wallet, diary or card holder. Print Zoo’s A6 gift vouchers are 105mm x 148mm, while our DL gift vouchers are 99 x 210mm giving more space for your branding, voucher value, message, terms and redemption details. Appointment cards work best when they are compact and practical, while gift vouchers benefit from a larger, more premium presentation. 

A good appointment card should include yourbusiness name, logo, contact details, appointment date, appointment time, staff member or practitioner name, customer name and any important notes. You may also want to include your address, website, social media handle, cancellation policy or a QR code for online booking. Keep the layout simple so the handwritten appointment details are easy to read. Uncoated stock is a strong choice because it gives a natural finish and is easier to write on than heavily coated card.

A printed gift voucher should include yourbusiness name, logo, voucher value or offer, unique voucher code or number, expiry date, terms and conditions, redemption instructions and contact details. You can also add space for the purchaser’s name, recipient’s name and a short gift message. Keep the design attractive, but make sure the important details are clear. Gift voucher terms should be easy to find, especially expiry dates and any restrictions on how the voucher can be used.

Yes, appointment cards and gift vouchers can be customised with your logo, brand colours, fonts, contact details, message and design style. Appointment cards should feel clear and practical, while gift vouchers can be more premium, promotional or gift-like. Branded appointment cards help keep your business visible between visits, while branded gift vouchers make your offer feel more professional and more appealing as a present. If you do not have artwork ready, Print Zoo’s Creative Zoo team can help with design support.
