How long do Silk Laminated Business Cards last?

Silk laminated cards hold up far longer than uncoated or aqueous-coated cards. The thin laminate film seals the surface, protecting the ink and paper from the everyday wear that fades and frays unprotected stock.

• Fade resistance: the film shields ink from light and handling.
• Scuff and moisture resistance: it guards against scratches and light moisture.
• No ink transfer: the sealed surface resists smudging in a wallet or holder.

Kept in a cardholder or wallet, a silk laminated card can stay looking fresh for months or even years. Cards that live loose in a bag wear faster simply from friction, so a small case goes a long way.
