Soft Touch Laminated Business Cards: Smooth, Subtle, and Seriously Stylish
🔥 Soft to the Touch, Strong on Impact
Our Soft Touch Laminated Business Cards are designed to impress both visually and tactilely. Starting with a 16pt stock base, we apply a 1.5mil soft touch laminate to both sides, bringing the total thickness to a luxurious 19pt. The result? A card that feels smooth, velvety, and professional—perfect for leaving a lasting impression.
🔥 Scuff Resistant and Durable
Not just a pretty face, these cards are made to withstand wear and tear. The soft touch laminate adds a layer of protection, making the cards scuff resistant and durable enough for frequent handling. Hand them out with confidence knowing they’ll stay looking fresh and polished.
🔥 Muted Elegance for a Sophisticated Look
The soft touch lamination doesn’t just feel great; it adds a subtle elegance to your design. It softens colors and reduces contrast, creating a muted, sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes while still grabbing attention. Perfect for businesses that want to project understated confidence.
