Print a Trading Card People Refuse to Put Down
This card keeps the standard 2.5" x 3.5" trading card size, and its surface is a soft-touch velvet laminate that feels like suede in the hand. Print collectible player cards, artist mini prints or a networking card that stands apart from the glossy cards in a stack. Priced from $94.74 for 250, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 5 reviews.
The lamination reads matte and shields the print from fingerprints and scuffs, so a card that gets shuffled and traded still looks new. To compare the velvet finish with the rest of the range, browse every option on trading cards printing, or build yours from the choices below.
A set of 250 starts at $94.74, about 38 cents a card, and 1,000 cost $145.26, about 15 cents each. An artist selling one signed set at a convention can start at 250; a league printing a card for every player in every team pays far less per card at the higher tiers.

What Are Velvet Laminated Trading Cards
Velvet laminated trading cards are 2.5" x 3.5" cards printed full color and sealed with a soft-touch velvet laminate, on a single premium stock: 16 point soft velvet laminated. Buyers order them when an ordinary card would get lost: collectible sports and gaming cards, artist and influencer cards, custom deck and promo cards, and high-end networking cards. A card that feels unlike the glossy ones in a deck gets pulled out and shown around. If you want the same size in a different finish, the Silk Laminated Trading Cards sit right beside it.
What Is the Soft Velvet Lamination
Every card prints on one stock, 16 point soft velvet laminated. The 16pt base gives the card real body, and the velvet laminate on top is a soft-touch film that reads matte and feels like suede.
The velvet surface makes a plain logo look high-end, feels different from the glossy cards in a stack, and shields the print, resisting fingerprints and scuffs and adding durability for a card that gets passed around. If you would rather a high-shine or a suede-textured finish in the same size, compare the Gloss Laminated Trading Cards and the Suede Trading Cards.
What Size Are the Cards and How Do You Print Front and Back
Every velvet laminated trading card is 2.5" x 3.5", the same size as a classic sports or gaming card, so it fits sleeves, binders and card slots without trimming. For color you pick 4/0, full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4, full color on both sides when the back carries stats, a bio or a QR code. Upload a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG. The specs panel below lists the full spec sheet.

How Fast Can You Get Velvet Laminated Trading Cards
Velvet laminated trading cards print on a 4 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day from the NYC plant. And 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time, with 82% shipping early, so you are not gambling on the date.
What Do People Use Velvet Laminated Trading Cards For
Because a velvet laminated card feels premium and comes in the familiar trading card size, it does more than one job. Teams, leagues and creators print collectible player and character cards. Artists and illustrators sell them as mini prints and signed cards. Founders and influencers hand them out as networking cards that outclass a glossy business card. Game makers use them for custom decks and promo cards. Our piece on the Squid Game business card explains why a plain printed card turned into a talking point again. In each case, the soft-touch surface is what makes people keep the card.

Velvet Laminated Trading Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
Are these cards the standard trading card size?
Yes, they finish at 2.5" x 3.5", the standard trading card size. That means they drop into sleeves, binder pages and card slots without any trimming. Set your artwork to that size with bleed before uploading.
How many trading cards come in the smallest order?
The run starts at 250 cards for $94.74, about 38 cents a card. The per-card price steps down across nine quantity tiers up to 25,000. A single team set and a full collectible print run both fit inside that range.
Will the velvet finish hold up if the cards get handled a lot?
The 16pt stock is sealed in a soft velvet lamination that resists fingerprints and scuffs, which is the point for a card that gets passed around. The surface reads matte rather than glossy, so it does not show smudges the way a shiny card does. Cards kept in sleeves will stay in shape longer still.
Can I see a proof before the cards print?
A free online proof is one of the proof options, or you can send the file straight to production. The proof is worth taking when the layout has tight borders or small type on a 2.5" x 3.5" card. Choosing no proof keeps the job moving as fast as possible.
How quickly can I get trading cards printed?
Standard production is 4 business days, with 3-day, Next-Day and Same-Day rush options available. Same-Day is there when a convention or a launch is days away. Shipping time is separate from production.
Do I have to print the back of the card?
No. You can print full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides. Collectible cards usually use the back for stats, a story or a serial number, while a networking card may only need the front.
