Question

What are Velvet Laminated Cards and how thick are they?

Answer

Velvet laminated cards start with a 16 pt stock as the base, then a 1.5 mil soft velvet, scuff-resistant laminate is applied to both sides. The laminate gives the card its signature suede-like, velvety touch while adding durability and a subtle extra thickness over the bare stock.

  • The velvet film wraps both faces, so the soft feel is consistent front and back.
  • Scuff-resistant laminate helps the card resist fingerprints and light wear over time.
  • The muted, matte surface makes colors look rich and understated rather than glossy.
