- a card substrate having at least a surface, the surface including at least predetermined information to be concealed provided thereon;
- and
- a dual scratch and peel label provided on the card substrate over the predetermined information, the dual scratch and peel label including at least:
- a first base film adhered to the card substrate over the predetermined information;
- a second base film releasably adhered over the first base film;
- and
- a scratch-off surface applied over the second base film, the scratch-off surface being configured to conceal the predetermined information provided on the card substrate.
A card, comprising:
- a card substrate having at least an account activation section, the account activation section including at least one redemption code provided thereon;
- and
- a dual scratch and peel label provided on the card substrate over the at least one redemption code, the dual scratch and peel label including at least:
- a first base film adhered to the card substrate over the at least one redemption code;
