Described herein is a pre-paid phone card composed of two card portions, each having a rear surface and a front surface. The front surfaces include promotional graphics and phone card information including a value of service to be provided in relation to the card. One of the rear surfaces includes a PIN, which may be covered with a scratch-off layer. The card is formed by connecting the rear surfaces together around an edge with one of the portions including a surrounding line of weakness allowing separation of that portion from the remaining card part. The PIN is thus facing inwardly and not visible without separating the card into its two portions. The card thus forms in effect a pouch enveloping the PIN and keeping it more secure but without the wastefulness of additional wrapping material. If the part without the PIN includes on its rear surface material of value to the user, this encourages the user to keep both parts for recycling.
