What is a Nut Allergy Awareness Card and Who Needs One?

Living with a nut allergy means thinking ahead every time you eat, travel, or spend time in public. It’s not just about avoiding certain foods — it’s about being prepared in case someone else doesn’t understand how serious the allergy is. That’s where our Nut Allergy Awareness Card comes in.

Our card is designed to speak up for you when you need it to. It’s a simple, clear card you can show whenever you need to explain your allergy quickly and without confusion. The goal is to raise awareness, prompt caution, and reduce risk — whether you’re ordering a meal, attending a group event, or just going about your day.

It’s especially useful for children and teenagers who are still learning how to manage their allergy themselves, as well as adults who want a quiet, visual way to make people aware. If you’ve ever worried about someone forgetting to check ingredients or cross-contamination, our card gives you a way to remind them without having to explain the risks every time.

How Can a Peanut Allergy Card Help in Public, at Work or When Travelling?

Allergies don’t take a break just because you’re on holiday or out for dinner. Our Nut Allergy Awareness Card can help in lots of everyday situations — not because people are careless, but because they often just don’t know what to look out for.

In restaurants, cafés, or takeaway counters, it can be easy for allergy warnings to be missed or misunderstood. If you’re in a rush, in a noisy place, or dealing with staff who don’t speak English as a first language, saying "I have a severe nut allergy" might not be enough. Our card gives a clear message in writing. Staff can see it, pass it to the kitchen, and take it seriously.

At airports or on planes, food allergies can be even harder to manage. Some airlines offer allergy-friendly meals, but cabin crew aren’t always told in advance. If you carry our card, you’ve got something solid to show if you need to explain your allergy during boarding or meal service. It’s the same for hotels, hostels, or even school trips — one quick look at the card tells someone straight away that nuts are dangerous for you and must be avoided.

In workplaces, it can also help during team lunches, shared kitchens, or office events. Not everyone remembers food preferences, but allergies need to be treated differently. Our card makes that clear, and it does so without making a scene.

Even on public transport or in social settings, it can be helpful to have something visible. If you ever experience a reaction and can’t speak easily, our card can help others understand what’s happening and get the right help. It’s small, subtle, and there when you need it.

What Makes Our Nut Allergy Card from The Card Project UK Different?

There are lots of templates online for allergy cards, but many of them are flimsy, homemade, or unclear. Ours is made from biodegradable plastic and sized to fit easily in a wallet or purse — just like a bank card. It’s designed to last and to be seen.

The front of our card includes a red alert strip across the top that immediately draws attention. Underneath, it clearly states that the holder has a nut allergy. There’s no medical jargon, no small print, and no confusing design. It’s short, direct, and designed to be understood at a glance.

We’ve kept the layout simple so it can be used by anyone — adults, teenagers, children, even older people who might not want to explain their allergy out loud. There’s no personal information on the card, so it protects your privacy. It’s not tied to any medical system or database. It simply alerts others to the allergy in a way that’s hard to ignore.

Because our card is made from biodegradable plastic, it’s durable but still eco-friendly. If you want to keep one in a wallet and another in a bag, you can. Some people order a few and keep them in different places so they’re never caught out.

And because we produce all our cards in-house, you know exactly what you're getting — consistent quality, fast delivery, and a professional finish that won’t peel or fade. You don’t need to design anything or print your own copy at home. We’ve done all the work, so you don’t have to.
