Five Products on 16 Point Gloss Laminated Stock
Gloss lamination printing here means your artwork prints on 16 point card, then a clear gloss film goes on top, so colors look deeper and the surface wipes clean of fingerprints. The collection puts that finish on five products: Gloss Laminated Business Cards, Gloss Laminated Postcards, Gloss Laminated Bookmarks, Gloss Laminated Hangtags, and Gloss Laminated Trading Cards.
Across all its work, 4OVER4.COM holds more than 10,000 reviews at a 4.8 out of 5 star rating, and the same presses and film run every order in this collection.
Gloss Lamination Printing, Sizes and Prices
Each product has its own size range and starting run. Business cards come at 2 by 3.5, 2 by 2 or 1.5 by 3.5 inches from 50 for $37.24, with square or rounded corners at a 1/8 or 3/8 inch radius. Postcards run from 2 by 3 to 4 by 6 inches from 250 for $74.53, bookmarks at 2 by 6 or 2 by 8 inches from 100, and hangtags from 1.5 by 3.5 to 2 by 6 inches from 100 for $87.15, drilled with a 1/8 inch hole at the top center or left side.
Print one side or both, upload a CMYK file at 300 DPI, and approve the free digital proof. Business cards, bookmarks and trading cards offer production times up to 4 business days, and postcards and hangtags take 4 or 7.
Gloss Laminated Cards for Wallets and Collectors
Gloss laminated cards come in two formats here. The business card on 16 point gloss laminated stock feels rigid and slick in the hand, handles a wallet for months, and makes a photo or a bright logo read sharper than on uncoated card. The trading card prints at the standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch size from 250 for $94.74, so it fits the same sleeves and binders collectors already use.
Pick the business card for a headshot or a listing photo, and the trading card for a team roster, a product line or a giveaway set.
How Gloss Film Changes a Print
The clear film bonded to the 16 point card reflects light and deepens color saturation. If your design leans on bold photography, bright gradients, or rich blacks, gloss makes those elements stand out far more than an uncoated or matte version would.
Hold a gloss laminated card next to a standard one and the difference shows at once. Colors read more vivid, images look crisp, and the surface feels smooth and slightly slick, a tactile signal that says premium.
How Gloss Compares to Matte and Soft-Touch
Matte lamination gives you a flat, non-reflective surface. Soft-touch adds a velvety texture. Gloss sits at the opposite end with maximum shine and maximum color intensity. Each finish suits a different goal, and gloss is the one to pick when you want your visuals to carry the piece.
Protection That Keeps Prints Looking New
Beyond the shine, the laminate layer shields your print from moisture, minor scratches, and repeated handling. Business cards that live in wallets, postcards that travel through the mail, and hangtags that ride retail shelves all last longer with gloss lamination on top.
Who Reaches for Gloss Laminated Prints
The high-shine finish pays off on designs built around photography, illustration, or color-heavy branding. Real estate agents hand out gloss laminated business cards and 4 by 6 inch postcards so listing photos show vivid, sharp detail. Retail brands pick 2 by 3.5 inch Gloss Laminated Hangtags because the reflective surface catches store lighting and pulls the eye toward the product.
Photographers, artists, and other creatives use 2 by 8 inch Gloss Laminated Bookmarks and Gloss Laminated Trading Cards as giveaways that reproduce fine detail with real color accuracy. Event planners and nonprofits lean on Gloss Laminated Postcards for invitations and promotions that feel upscale before a guest ever arrives.
Design Choices That Make Gloss Work Harder
Gloss amplifies everything in your file, so a few smart calls up front pay off. Keep every image at 300 DPI or higher, since the reflective surface makes soft or low-resolution art obvious. Build your file in CMYK for the most accurate color on a laminated print, and go bold with saturated blues, deep reds, and rich greens that the finish rewards.
Be mindful of text-heavy layouts, where gloss can throw glare under harsh light. Pairing the finish with a heavier stock keeps the piece rigid and premium instead of flimsy, and leaving one side uncoated gives postcards and hangtags a surface you can still write on.
Proof, Inspection and Delivery
Every gloss laminated order ships with a free digital proof, precision cutting, and quality inspection, with no hidden setup fees, and the film goes on the 16 point stock in the same run as the print. 4OVER4.COM has printed since 1999, more than 25 years and over 10 billion cards across its catalog, for 150,000 businesses and counting.
Across all 4OVER4.COM orders, on-time performance is 99.8% and 82% ship early. Want to feel the finish first? Request free samples, then order with a price match guarantee behind you.

Gloss Laminated Printing FAQ
Which products come with a gloss laminated finish?
This collection puts gloss lamination on business cards, postcards, bookmarks, hangtags, and trading cards. Each one is printed on premium stock before the glossy film is applied, so you get the same high-shine look across formats.
What stock and material is used for gloss laminated prints?
Products in this collection print on a heavy 16 point gloss laminated stock, then get a thin transparent laminate film bonded on top, typically around 1.5 mil. The heavier stock plus the film gives the piece a rigid, premium feel without much added bulk.
How long does gloss laminated printing take to ship?
Turnaround depends on the specific product and quantity, but 82% of orders ship early and on-time performance runs at 99.8%. Rush options are available if you need your glossy prints faster.
What finish and printing options can I choose?
You can print a single side (4/0, color front with a blank back) or both sides (4/4), and several products offer rounded corners at a 1/8 inch or 3/8 inch radius. If you prefer a flatter look, compare gloss against matte or soft-touch, which trade shine for a muted, tactile feel.
Is there a minimum order, or can I order a small quantity?
You can order short promotional runs or large bulk quantities from the same collection. Larger orders bring the per-unit cost down, so pricing scales with your project rather than forcing a big minimum.
Do you provide proofs and templates for artwork setup?
Every gloss laminated order includes a free digital proof so you can confirm your file before it prints. Free templates sized for each product come with proper bleed lines, safe zones, and color settings, and building your art at 300 DPI in CMYK gives the most accurate color on the glossy finish.
