Printed Gift Card Holders with Your Brand Logo

A gift card holder is the slim, book-style wallet that opens to reveal the card — the format most retailers reach for when vouchers are sold across the counter every week. It costs less per unit than a rigid box, slips into a standard envelope for posting, and still gives the moment of handing over a voucher some ceremony. Printed in full colour on both sides with a magnetic closure, it carries your branding home with the recipient and keeps working long after the sale.

We produce printed gift card holders to order for retailers, salons, hotels and corporate buyers throughout Ireland. You supply a logo; our studio does the rest, from artwork setup to a digital proof you sign off before print. Barry Packaging has been supplying Irish retail since 1973.

Ordering for Christmas? Half your order can be flown in.

Because every holder is printed to your own artwork and shipped from the manufacturer by sea, our standard lead time is 12 to 14weeks. An order placed in September or October would ordinarily land after the Christmas voucher rush, which is why most buyers assume the window has closed for this year.

It hasn't. Confirm your order and artwork by Friday 16 October 2026 and we can split the delivery: half flown in by air to arrive weeks earlier, with the remaining half following by sea at no extra charge. The air freight is charged once, on the flown half only:

SLIDE TO VIEW PRICES

Order quantity	500	1,000	2,000	3,000	5,000
Units flown ahead	250	500	1,000	1,500	2,500
Air charge	€281	€376	€537	€801	€1,290

The air charge is in addition to your unit price and applies to the flown half of the order only. The balance ships by sea as standard, with free delivery nationwide. Air freight on the rigid printed gift card boxes is quoted separately.

Artwork approval is the deadline that matters — the sooner it is signed off, the larger the share we can fly in. Call 066 711 8200 with your quantity and we will confirm the date your first delivery lands.

Why a printed gift card holder works

Turns a plastic voucher into something that looks worth giving, at a low cost per sale
Reaches a second customer — the person receiving the card, who may never have visited you
Slim enough to post in a standard envelope, so it suits online and phone voucher sales
Keeps counter and till-point presentation consistent with the rest of your branded packaging
Works year round, then carries the load at Christmas, Mother's Day and Valentine's

Print & branding options

Holders are printed in full colour on both sides at 100% coverage, so the outside carries your logo and the inside can hold a message, terms, an expiry note or a QR code to your website. Pantone references are matched for brand accuracy, and matt lamination comes as standard with gloss available if you prefer a shinier finish.

Full-colour print both sides, 100% coverage
Pantone colour matching to your brand palette
Matt lamination as standard, gloss on request
Room inside for a personal message, terms or a QR code

Board & materials

Each holder is made from 600gsm board with a 157gsm art paper wrap and finished with a magnetic closure, so it shuts cleanly and opens with a little resistance rather than flapping open in a bag. The inner layer holds the card in place and presents it face up when the holder is opened. At 10.7 × 12.5cm closed, it fits comfortably in a hand, a handbag or an envelope.

Formats & sizes

Gift Card Holder — 10.7 × 12.5cm — the slim book-style wallet with magnetic closure covered on this page. The everyday choice: lowest cost per unit and postable
Rigid Gift Card Box — 12.4 × 9.5 × 3cm — a wrapped presentation box with fitted insert and satin ribbon, for higher-value vouchers and corporate gifting. See custom printed gift card boxes
Custom formats — different dimensions, a wallet sized for a card plus a folded voucher, or a structure of your own design

Many customers run both formats side by side: the holder for the majority of counter sales, the rigid box reserved for premium and corporate vouchers. Tell us your typical voucher value and how customers receive them, and we will suggest the split.

Bulk pricing & lead time

View Gift Card Boxes

Holders start at 500 units, and the unit price drops sharply at 1,000 — worth knowing if you are close to that mark, since 1,000 holders can cost little more in total than 500. Prices below are per unit and indicative; final pricing is confirmed with your quote.

Gift Card Holder — 10.7 × 12.5cm

Quantity	500	1,000	2,000	3,000	5,000
Price per unit	€1.44	€0.83	€0.78	€0.755	€0.685

Every order is made and printed to your artwork, so a production lead time applies — typically 12 to 14 weeks including sea freight. Timings are confirmed with your quote, so come to us early if you are working towards a seasonal deadline or a shop opening. Need them for Christmas? See the express air-freight option above.

Free design & free delivery

Artwork setup is included — our in-house studio prepares your files, and you approve a digital proof before anything is printed. Delivery is free nationwide, and flexible interest-free payment plans are available (terms and conditions apply).

Sustainability

Gift card holders are made from paper board and are recyclable, which makes them a straightforward way to take plastic out of your voucher packaging. Ask us about eco certified board and finishes when you request your quote.
