Question
What is the difference between Soft Touch Paper and Velvet Lamination? Feeling perspective, material, available options.
Answer
Soft Touch Paper and Velvet Lamination both deliver that soft, suede-like feel people love, but they get there in different ways. One is a coating applied to the stock, the other is a laminate film sealed over it, and that changes the material and how each behaves.
| Soft Touch Paper | Velvet Lamination | |
|---|---|---|
| How it is made | Soft-touch coating on the stock | Velvet laminate film bonded to the stock |
| Feel | Smooth, soft, matte | Plush, velvety, matte |
| Durability | Protective coating | Laminate adds extra thickness and scuff resistance |
- Both mute reflections for a rich, understated look that feels premium in the hand.
- Velvet lamination tends to feel a little plusher and adds a bit more thickness because of the film.
- Choose based on the exact hand feel and finish options you want for your piece.
