Question

What exactly is layer cake printing?

Answer

Layer cake printing bonds multiple sheets of card stock together with a colored paper layer in the center. The result is a thick, rigid card with a bright stripe of color running along every edge.

  • Two or more outer plies sandwich a colored core layer.
  • The exposed core shows as a visible colored edge all the way around.
  • The stacked construction makes the card noticeably thick and sturdy.
  • The effect is physical, so it cannot be faked with printing on a single-ply card.

It is a strong choice on business cards, hangtags, and postcards when you want the edge itself to carry your brand color.
