Question

What paper finish works best for business cards with social media icons?

Answer

When your card carries small social media icons and handles, the finish matters as much as the layout. You want a surface that keeps fine detail readable under any light.

  • Matte - reduces glare so small icons and text stay crisp.
  • Soft-touch - velvety, low-reflection, and premium-feeling. Excellent for fine detail.
  • Glossy - can throw reflections that obscure tiny handles and icons.

For anything with small type or icons, a non-reflective matte or soft-touch finish is the safer choice.
