Question
Is suede printing more expensive than standard matte or glossy?
Answer
Suede is a premium finish, so it costs more per unit than standard matte or glossy lamination. The gap narrows as your quantity climbs, since the finish cost spreads across more pieces.
- Per-unit premium: higher than basic matte or gloss.
- Quantity effect: the difference shrinks at higher volumes.
- Value point: for orders of 250 cards or more, the per-card premium is small next to the impression it leaves.
If a memorable, high-touch feel matters for your brand, the modest upcharge usually earns its place.
