Question

Can I write on velvet laminated cards with pen or marker?

Answer

Yes. Velvet laminated cards accept both ballpoint pen and permanent marker, though results can vary with the specific piece and how it is handled.

  • Ballpoint pen and permanent marker both write on the velvet surface.
  • Writability can depend on the specific product and on how the cards are handled after writing.
  • Give the ink a moment to set before stacking or touching the written area.

For anything that must be filled in heavily by hand, test one card first to confirm the ink holds the way you expect.
