Question

What thickness is best for a soft touch business card?

Answer

The best thickness for a soft touch card depends on how premium you want it to feel. The velvety coating pairs naturally with heavier stock, and the weight amplifies that luxurious in-hand experience.

ThicknessBest for
32ptMost professionals, credit-card thick with a premium feel
48pt to 64ptLuxury markets like fine dining, boutique retail, high-end consulting
80ptBrands that want the card itself to be a conversation piece
  • 32pt is the balanced default that feels premium without going extreme.
  • Step up to 48pt or heavier when the tactile weight is part of the message.
  • The thicker the stock, the more the soft-touch surface reads as high-end.
