What finishes work best for prestige printing?

The finishes that work best for prestige printing are the ones that play to a thick, premium stock. A few stand out as favorites.

• Soft-touch matte: the most popular choice, giving a velvety, sophisticated feel.
• Spot UV: adds selective gloss for sharp contrast against the matte surface.
• Foil stamping: metallic tones create eye-catching shine.
• Glitter effects: sparkle finishes on premium stocks for something truly distinctive.

Any of these leans into the weight and quality of a prestige card and makes it feel even more considered.
