Question

Is dual raised printing worth the extra cost over standard flat printing?

Answer

If making a strong first impression matters, dual raised printing is usually worth the modest upcharge. The tactile quality signals premium quality the instant someone handles the piece.

  • Raised ink is felt as well as seen, so it registers as higher quality right away.
  • Business cards with raised printing tend to get kept longer.
  • Invitations with raised text read as more formal and special.

The per-piece increase is small next to the lift it gives how people perceive your brand.
