Do matte business cards cost more than glossy?

Standard matte and standard glossy finishes are priced about the same, so choosing one over the other rarely changes your per-card cost in any meaningful way. Cost climbs only when you step up to premium finishes.

• Standard matte vs gloss - negligible price difference for most orders.
• Soft-touch matte lamination - a premium upgrade that adds cost.
• Spot UV - a specialty finish that also raises the price.

Pick matte or gloss based on the look you want, not the price. The upgrades are what move the number.
