What is a Soft touch Laminate Greeting Card?

A soft-touch laminate greeting card is a type of greeting card that has been coated with a special soft-touch laminate finish, providing a luxurious and tactile feel to the card’s surface. Here’s what you need to know about soft-touch laminate greeting cards:

1. Soft Touch Laminate Coating:

  • Soft-touch laminate is a velvety, matte finish applied to the surface of the greeting card.
  • It creates a smooth and silky texture that feels soft to the touch, similar to the feel of a peach skin or velvet.
  • The laminate coating enhances the visual appeal of the card and adds a layer of protection, making it more durable and resistant to wear and tear.

2. Luxurious Look and Feel:

  • Soft-touch laminate greeting cards exude an air of luxury and sophistication, making them ideal for special occasions and premium events.
  • The velvety texture of the laminate creates a tactile experience that adds depth and dimension to the card, elevating its overall aesthetic.

3. Enhanced Color and Design:

  • The soft-touch laminate coating enhances the colors and design elements of the greeting card, making them appear more vibrant and visually appealing.
  • It provides a subtle sheen that adds richness to the colors and highlights the finer details of the design.

4. Resistance to Fingerprints and Smudges:

  • Soft-touch laminate greeting cards are resistant to fingerprints, smudges, and scratches, thanks to the protective coating.
  • The laminate helps to maintain the integrity of the card’s design, ensuring that it looks pristine and professional even after handling.

5. Suitability for Various Occasions:

  • Soft-touch laminate greeting cards are versatile and suitable for a wide range of occasions, including weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, and more.
  • They can be used for personal correspondence, invitations, thank-you notes, or as promotional materials for businesses.

6. Customization Options:

  • Soft-touch laminate greeting cards offer various customization options to suit your preferences and design needs.
  • You can choose from different cardstock options, including thickness and finishes, to achieve the desired look and feel.
  • Additionally, you can incorporate additional embellishments such as foil stamping, embossing, or spot UV coating to further enhance the design and make the card truly unique.

7. Environmentally Friendly Options:

  • Some soft-touch laminate greeting cards are made from recycled or sustainable materials, making them an environmentally friendly choice for eco-conscious consumers.
  • The laminate coating adds an extra layer of protection to the card, prolonging its lifespan and reducing the need for replacement.

In summary, soft-touch laminate greeting cards offer a combination of luxurious look, tactile feel, and durability that makes them an excellent choice for special occasions and premium events.

File Setup

In order to ensure your files are print-ready, we recommend that you upload them in PDF format. When you generate a print-ready PDF, your computer will use the settings in Adobe Acrobat Distiller or any other PDF generating programs you may use. Please make sure that these are set properly before generating your PDF file.

If you are uploading PDF files created in Photoshop, please be sure all layers are flattened.

We also accept .JPG (JPEG), and .TIF (TIFF) file types, however PDF is the preferred format.

Check your file to make sure it meets our file creation guidelines. This will help speed up the production of your project and give your printed piece the best results.

  1. Use the CMYK colorspace (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK). These are industry standard printing colors. CMYK colors are different than RGB (Red, Green, Blue), which are used to display colors on your screen.
  2. Use a minimum resolution of 300 dpi for image files.
  3. Specify trim area with crop marks. (Don’t place crop marks inside the work area.)
  4. Artwork should have 1/8″ (0.125″) bleed extending past the trim line. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
  5. Safe Area is the 1/8″ (0.125″) area inside the trim line. Do not put critical information or images within the Safe Area. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
  6. If you want printed borders, they must be placed a minimum of 1/8″ (0.125″) inside the trim line and include bleed. This is to prevent minor cutting variations from leaving unintended results at the trim edge.
