Question
What is the difference between Soft Touch, Silk Laminated, and Velvet Laminated finishes?
Answer
These are three premium laminated finishes that each change how a printed piece feels in the hand as much as how it looks. All bond a film to the stock, but the texture and purpose of each is different.
- Soft Touch: a coating that adds a velvety, rose-petal-like layer for a plush, understated feel.
- Silk Lamination: a protective silk film applied to both sides, creating a silky-smooth, water and tear-resistant surface that resists cracking and chipping.
- Velvet Lamination: a suede-like texture applied to the printed piece for a soft-to-touch finish.
| Finish | Texture | Key benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Soft Touch | Velvety, petal-soft | Plush premium feel |
| Silk Laminated | Silky smooth | Water and tear resistant |
| Velvet Laminated | Suede-like | Soft, tactile luxury |
