Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are used for packaging a stored value card that unviewably secures the secured value card in the package. The package includes a readable area allowing for purchasing of the stored value card without removing it from the package or viewing it within the package. This can allow for minimized fraud and illegal use of stored value cards. In one example, the package is scanned for purchasing, and once the purchase in approved, the purchaser can activate the card.
