How do I design a card that works with the soft touch finish?

Soft touch cards are all about texture, so the best designs get out of the way and let the finish do the talking. A restrained, minimal layout reads as far more premium than a busy one on this kind of stock.

• Embrace white space - generous margins let the velvety surface breathe
• Keep type clean - simple, well-spaced fonts feel intentional and modern
• Avoid heavy full-bleed dark - large dark areas on both sides can show fingerprints and scuffs
• Add subtle accents - a single foil or spot UV detail stands out against the matte base

If you want a scannable link without cluttering the layout, a small QR code tucked into a corner keeps the design clean while staying functional.
