Can I add foil stamping or spot UV to a soft touch card?

You can add foil stamping to a soft touch card with excellent results, since the contrast between metallic foil and velvety matte paper is genuinely striking. Spot UV is a bit more nuanced because the soft touch surface is uncoated.

• Foil stamping - works beautifully, the metallic shine pops against the matte texture
• Spot UV - possible but trickier, since adhesion differs on an uncoated surface
• Stock thickness - available finish combinations can vary with the card's weight

For your specific stock and finish pairing, check with the support team through the Help Center to confirm what is available before you finalize the design.

On the velvet laminated stocks, the calculator offers more: velvet business cards take spot UV on the front, back or both sides, and embossed business cards on 32pt or 48pt velvet laminated stock combine foil stamping, spot UV or raised spot UV, embossing, debossing and edge painting. Keep accents to your logo or one key element so each finish stands out.
