## Questions buyers ask
**Are your gloss laminated cards water resistant or waterproof?**

Gloss Laminated Cards are water resistant but not waterproof. The gloss film seals the surface, so the cards stand up well to a small amount of water or a quick wipe, but they are not made to survive being soaked or submerged.Water resistant: shrugs off light moisture and the occasional splashNot waterproof: extended contact with water can still damage the cardBest practice: dry off any moisture quickly and keep cards out of standing waterThe gloss lamination also boosts durability and gives a bright, shiny finish
