Question

What's the difference between gloss and matte laminated bookmarks?

Answer

Both finishes add a protective film that guards against moisture, fingerprints, and general wear. The visual difference is all about how they handle light.

  • Choose gloss when you want colors to pop and grab attention.
  • Choose matte for an elegant, low-glare finish that photographs and reads cleanly.
