  • Cards or gift vouchers are traditionally known, which allow the persons to whom they are offered or who benefit from them to have access to products or services of certain major commercial brands, within the limit of a given monetary value of which these cards or Gift certificates are the counterpart.
  • Such cards or gift vouchers can be personalized according to the type of gift towards which one wishes to guide their recipient.
  • the pouches or boxes, in which these cards or checks are optionally available, are generally customized according to the event that you want to mark.
  • the support that constitutes this gift card carries a code identifier (PIN) which allows the recipient of the card to then have access, for example remotely, to the products and services that the recipient of the card intended for him.
  • PIN code identifier
  • the presentation of the gift card in the greeting card which is proposed in this patent US7,025,807 however, is not fully satisfactory, especially in terms of safety.
  • the gift cards and especially the identification codes written on these gift cards are indeed an access relatively easy. For example, it is enough for a malicious person to discreetly open the greeting card before it is sold, to be able to read the code written on the associated gift card and thus have access, if necessary once the gift card is activated. , products and services instead of the recipient of the card.
  • An object of the invention is to propose a greeting card solution that allows the person to whom it is offered to have access to products or services that are intended for him as a gift, but which presents less risk of fraud. that in the case of associations greeting cards / gift cards of the prior art and in particular that in the case of that proposed in US7,025,807 .

  • Said means comprise an envelope which is fixed on one of the inner faces of the greeting card and which receives or is intended to receive the support which carries the gift code which allows access to a gift.
  • Such a greeting card structure with an inner envelope contributes to greater security than with the solutions of the prior art.
  • the greeting card can indeed be sold with the support that allows access to a gift (gift card for example) in place in the envelope, in which case, the presence of the envelope makes it much easier than with the greeting cards of the prior art access to the support or gift code it carries when the greeting card is in shelving.
  • the greeting card structure with inner envelope also allows, alternatively, that the purchaser does not recover the support with the gift code (printed ticket for example) at the time of checkout. He then slides himself the support in the inner envelope. As is easily understood, this variant also allows a very high security.
  • the gift card is a magnetic card activated during the passage of the buyer in the box, which is then slid into the inner envelope.
  • the presentation of the support, which bears the access code, in an envelope inside the greeting card contributes to the festive character of the whole for the one who receives the greeting card and the associated support.

  • said envelope 5 can be fixed inside the greeting card by the opposite side to that which is extended by the flap, so that the mouth of said casing 5 is adjacent to the inner portion of the front flap 2 and it is not easily accessible, except to detach the one of the greeting card 1.
  • the envelope 5 is fixed inside the greeting card by the face which is extended by the flap 6, so that the mouth of the envelope is directly accessible to the purchaser and allows him to slip the support 7 which is provided without detaching said envelope 5.
