How do I choose the right soft-touch-printing option for my business needs?
Soft-touch printing offers a premium, velvety finish across various paper stocks like 16pt and 18pt. Consider the intended use—business cards, postcards, or presentation folders—and the impression you want to make. Thicker stocks provide more durability, while all options deliver a tactile, sophisticated feel ideal for high-end branding.
Do all soft-touch-printing products require specific file types or settings?
Yes, all soft-touch-printing products require print-ready PDF files with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi and CMYK color mode. Bleed settings of at least 0.125" on all sides are standard. Vector files are recommended for logos and text to ensure sharpness across the collection.
What are the standard sizes and specifications for soft-touch-printing items?
Standard sizes include 3.5" x 2" for business cards, 4" x 6" and 5" x 7" for postcards, and 9" x 12" for presentation folders. All items use premium paper stocks (typically 16pt or 18pt) with a soft-touch laminate coating, providing a matte, fingerprint-resistant surface suitable for professional applications.

What applications are best suited for soft-touch-printing in a business context?
Soft-touch-printing is ideal for premium business cards, high-end marketing collateral, presentation folders, and event invitations. Its luxurious feel and matte finish make it perfect for industries like finance, real estate, hospitality, and creative agencies seeking to convey sophistication and quality in their printed materials.
How do soft-touch finishes compare to standard matte or gloss options in terms of durability and appearance?
Soft-touch finishes provide a unique, velvety texture and a non-reflective matte look, distinguishing them from standard matte or gloss coatings. While soft-touch is slightly more prone to scuffing than gloss, it offers excellent fingerprint resistance and a premium tactile experience, making it a preferred choice for luxury branding.
