What Scratch Card Printing in Nigeria - O'Naphtali Company Limited does

O'Naphtali Company Limited is a Lagos-based industrial printing company specializing in scratch card production, flexographic label printing, large-format industrial printing, and product authentication/security labeling. The company operates Speedmaster offset presses for high-volume print runs and digital color presses for short runs, with state-of-the-art pre-press, press, and post-press systems that include proprietary PIN encoding machinery for scratch card personalization. It claims to produce 90% of Nigeria's scratch card requirements — including telecom recharge cards, national examination result checker cards (JAMB, WAEC, NECO), and student access portal cards for 150+ higher institutions within and outside Nigeria.

The company serves a diversified mix of clients across education (tertiary institutions and national examination bodies), telecommunications (CDMA carriers), pharmaceuticals and FMCG (authentication labels to combat counterfeiting), banking and financial institutions (annual reports, stationery, and security documents), and federal/state government parastatals. Additional offerings include hologram production, QR/barcode traceability labels, self-adhesive and tamper-evident labels (VOID/destructible), and promotional scratch cards for FMCGs, political campaigns, and events.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-specific contracts with no publicly disclosed pricing, billed primarily on a pay-as-you-go basis per print job. Go-to-market is direct sales via the company website (quote request forms), phone, and email, supplemented by referral-based institutional relationships rather than active digital marketing or channel partners. The company operates a single headquarters and production facility at 13b Oguntona Crescent, Gbagada Phase 1, Lagos, and distributes directly to clients in Nigeria and neighboring West African countries with no intermediary distribution network disclosed.
