A Business Card People Feel Before They Read
Touch alone gets this card noticed before a single word is read. A velvet laminate wraps both faces in a soft, matte film that feels warm under the thumb, sitting on a 32pt or 48pt board thick enough to land with real weight, so handing one over at a meeting, tucking one into a luxury package, or leaving one on a counter all make their point through feel. Sets of 250 start at $282.94, rated 4.7 out of 5 across 11 reviews.
These cards punch well above an ordinary handout. The suede feel and the ultra thick stock signal that whoever printed them cares about the details, and finishes like foil, spot UV and painted edges are all on the table.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 250 starts at $282.94, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 2,000, so a full box for a launch or a rebrand costs far less per card than a small test batch.

What Are Ultra Thick Suede Business Cards
Ultra thick suede business cards are heavyweight cards printed full color on a 32pt or 48pt velvet-laminated stock, a soft-touch film that gives the surface a matte, suede-like feel. People reach for them when a standard card would blend in: a partner meeting, a luxury product insert, a real estate closing gift, a portfolio drop. Because the card feels unusual in the hand, it gets handled and kept instead of pocketed and forgotten. If you like the same soft finish but do not need the ultra thick weight, the Suede Business Cards run the velvet feel on a lighter, lower-cost board, and this sits above it as the flagship version.
What Size Should Your Card Be
The right size comes down to how much you want the card to say on its own. The standard 2" x 3.5" is the wallet shape everyone recognizes, and here it lets the thickness and the suede feel carry the impression. A 1.5" x 3.5" slim cut reads modern and deliberate, and a 2.5" x 2.5" square breaks the rectangle habit entirely. If none of the three is right, you can specify a custom size up to 3" x 4" and the card is made to order. All 3 sizes, both stocks and every finish are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Here are a few easy ways to make this card pull its weight.
Pick the stock that matches the message
The 32pt velvet-laminated board is already far thicker than a normal card, with a premium, substantial weight. Step up to the 48pt and it feels almost like a chip, dense enough that people notice it before they read it. Both wear the same suede-soft laminate, so the choice is purely how heavy you want the card to land. When you want that thick, premium feel with a different laminate, the Ultra Thick Silk Laminated Business Cards carry the same heavyweight idea with a silk finish.
Add a finish that plays off the matte
The soft matte surface is the perfect backdrop for a sharp accent. Foil stamping presses a metallic mark into the suede, and the contrast makes it pop. Spot UV lays a glossy, slightly raised coat over a logo so one detail catches the light. And because the board is so thick, edge painting can add a stripe of color along the visible edge. If a card built entirely around one effect is what you are after, the Foil Stamped Business Cards, the Spot UV Business Cards and the Edge Painted Business Cards each specialize in one.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make one of these look sharp. Start from one of thousands of free, professionally built layouts in our business card design templates, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes. On a card this premium, one clean, confident idea reads best.

Each blank business card template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut.

Wally makes the first touch count
Why a 48pt suede card gets held, not filed.

Ultra thick suede business cards start at $282.94 for 250, and the velvet laminate makes people slow down and feel the card before they read it. Set on a 32pt or 48pt board, with optional foil, spot UV, or painted edges, it lands like an object. Pick a size, choose your finish, and Wally prints it in-house.
How Much Do Ultra Thick Suede Business Cards Cost
Ultra thick suede business cards start at $282.94 per 250, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs to 2,000, where it lands near $0.42 a card. A run of 500 is $371.36, 1,000 is $447.15, and 2,000 is $838.72, so the cost per card nearly halves between the smallest and largest run. How many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
How Much Of The Card Can You Print On
You control how far the color goes. Print 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, 4/1 for full color on the front with black type or a logo on the reverse, or 4/4 for full color on both sides. Pick 4/4 when the back needs to carry a photo, a QR code, or a second design, and keep it at 4/0 when a clean, unprinted back suits the look. Whatever you choose, the color prints under the same soft suede laminate, so the finish stays consistent front to back.
How Do They Compare to the Rest of the Range
These cards are the flagship pick when you want weight and a soft finish, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a lighter suede, a different thick laminate or a painted edge, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers.

Suede Business Card Prices by Quantity
Suede business cards price by the run, and the per card figure nearly halves between the smallest and the largest quantity, so the table is worth reading before you settle on a count.
| Quantity | Set total | Per card |
|---|---|---|
| 250 | $282.94 | $1.13 |
| 500 | $371.36 | About $0.74 |
| 1,000 | $447.15 | About $0.45 |
| 2,000 | $838.72 | About $0.42 |
The step from 250 to 500 adds $88.42 and cuts the per card cost by a third, and 1,000 cards cost $75.79 more than 500 for twice the count, which is where most launches and rebrands land. The 32pt or 48pt board, the 3 sizes and the free online proof are chosen after the quantity, and foil stamping, spot UV and painted edges are added on top of the card you priced.
Suede Cards and Velvet Lamination Are the Same Finish
Suede business cards, velvet business cards and suede cards with velvet lamination all describe one finish, a soft matte film sealed over both faces of the card so the surface feels warm and slightly grippy under the thumb. Nothing on the card is fabric. What separates this product from a standard suede card is the board underneath, a 32pt or a 48pt ultra thick stock that lands with real weight, where the lighter Suede Business Cards run the same feel on a lower cost board and the Velvet Business Cards carry the laminate under its other name.
The laminate goes on regardless of the ink layout, so a 4/0 card is as soft on the blank back as on the printed front. Because the surface is matte, it is the backdrop that makes foil stamping, spot UV and a painted edge read sharply, and it is why one clean idea in the design beats a busy layout on this card.
Ultra Thick Suede Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the card actually made of suede?
No, the suede feel comes from a velvet laminate sealed over both faces of the card. It is a soft, matte film that feels warm under the thumb, applied over a heavy paper board rather than over fabric.
Which board thicknesses are offered?
Two: a 32pt and a 48pt velvet-laminated board. Both are thick enough that the card lands with weight, and the 48pt is the one to pick when the heft itself is the point.
How does the price work at the minimum run?
The smallest order is 250 cards at $282.94, which is $1.13 each. That drops to about $0.42 per card as the run climbs to 2,000.
What finishes can I add on top of the suede surface?
Foil stamping, Spot UV, and painted edges are all available, along with rounded corners. Each of these reads clearly against a soft matte surface because the finish catches light where the laminate does not.
Can I print on both sides?
Yes. Options are full color on the front with a blank back, full color front with a black back, or full color on both sides. The laminate is applied to both faces regardless of the ink layout.
How far ahead should I order suede cards?
Standard production runs 15 business days, so plan well ahead of an event or a launch. A free online proof is offered, and approving it without delay keeps that window on track.
How much should I pay for 500 business cards?
On this card, 500 run $371.36, about 74 cents each, against $282.94 for the 250 minimum at $1.13 a card. That is the price for a 32pt or 48pt velvet laminated board with a free online proof, before foil, spot UV or painted edges are added. A plain card on a thin stock costs far less per 500, so the question is whether the card has to be felt before it is read.
What is the latest trend in business cards?
Cards that are felt before they are read. Ultra thick boards at 32pt and 48pt, a suede laminate, and one accent such as foil stamping, spot UV or a painted edge are the direction, along with shapes that break the rectangle, the 2.5" x 2.5" square and the 1.5" x 3.5" slim. The common thread is a single clean idea on the front and a finish that does the talking.
Are suede business cards glossy?
No. The velvet laminate is a soft matte film with no shine, which is the whole point of the finish. If you want one detail to catch the light, add spot UV over the logo, which lays a glossy raised coat on that spot only, or foil stamping for a metallic mark. The rest of the card stays matte.
