Abstract
A stored value card and carrier system, including an optional carrier, an inactive stored value card attached to the carrier, and a label, in which the label is removably adhered to at least a portion of the stored value card and at least a portion of the carrier, and the label is capable of indicating removal from the stored value card and the carrier or other tampering.

A stored value card and carrier system, the system comprising:
- a carrier;
- a stored value card attached to the carrier;
- and
- a label adhered to at least one of a portion of the stored value card, a portion of the carrier, or an insert contained within the carrier, wherein the label includes a foil layer with etched text or graphics formed thereon, and an adhesive layer,
- wherein at least partial removal of the label at least partially distorts the etched text and or graphics to optically indicate tampering with the system,
- wherein the carrier includes structure defining an aperture over which the card is placed such that information on the card is proximate the aperture, and wherein the label at least partially obscures the information on the card such that the information is unusable or unreadable until at least a portion of the label is removed to expose the information through the aperture.

A stored value card and carrier system, the system comprising:
- a carrier including structure defining a pull tab, the pull tab being irreversibly shiftable between a closed position and an opened position;
- a stored value card coupled to the carrier;
- activation indicia applied to at least one of the stored value card and an interior surface of the carrier such that at least a portion of the activation indicia is obscured when by the carrier when the pull tab is in the closed position;
- and
- a tamper evident label covering and obscuring at least a portion of the activation indicia such that the information is unusable or unreadable until the pull tab is in the opened position and at least a portion of the label is removed,
- wherein at least partial removal of the label at least partially distorts the tamper evident label to optically indicate tampering with the system.
