Question

Does layer cake printing work with specialty finishes like soft-touch or gloss?

Answer

Yes. Layer cake stock, with its colored center ply, takes surface finishes just like standard stock, so you can add soft-touch matte, gloss, and more on top.

  • Compatible finishes: soft-touch matte, gloss lamination, and other coatings.
  • Why it works: the finish sits on the printed faces while the colored edge still shows.
  • Design idea: pair a matte face with a bright edge color for contrast.
