Premium Business Cards Designed to Be Felt

A business card is more than a place to display contact information—it is a physical representation of your brand. VelvetTouch Soft-Touch Laminated Business Cards create a memorable experience by combining a sophisticated matte appearance with a smooth, velvet-like texture.

The cards begin with durable 16 pt. cardstock. A 3 pt. soft-touch laminate increases the finished thickness to approximately 19 pt. while adding a distinctive suede-style surface. This substantial construction helps communicate quality, professionalism, and attention to detail from the moment the card is placed in someone’s hand.

Unlike a bright gloss coating, the soft-touch matte finish has a restrained, low-reflection appearance. It works particularly well with minimalist layouts, elegant typography, rich colors, subtle patterns, premium photography, and sophisticated brand identities.

Product Specifications

The VelvetTouch Difference

Smooth, Velvet-Like Texture

The soft-touch laminate creates a refined surface with a gentle, suede-style feel. This tactile quality makes the cards noticeably different from conventional coated or uncoated business cards.

Elegant Matte Appearance

The low-reflection surface produces a sophisticated, contemporary presentation. It is ideal for brands that prefer understated luxury instead of a bright or highly reflective finish.

Substantial 19 pt. Construction

The combination of 16 pt. cardstock and 3 pt. soft-touch lamination creates an approximately 19 pt. finished card. This substantial thickness reinforces the premium character of the product.

Added Surface Protection

Soft-touch lamination helps protect the printed surface from fingerprints, smudges, scratches, and wear caused by regular handling. The protective finish helps the cards maintain a clean, polished presentation throughout everyday professional use.

Memorable Brand Experience

Texture can influence how customers perceive a printed product. A smooth, velvety surface encourages recipients to engage with the card and can reinforce premium positioning, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

Square or Rounded Corners

Traditional Square Corners

Square corners create a clean, structured silhouette suitable for corporate, financial, legal, architectural, industrial, and traditional professional brands.

Rounded Corners

Rounded corners soften the card’s profile and create a contemporary appearance. This style works well with modern logos, curved design elements, lifestyle brands, salons, creative agencies, luxury services, and customer-focused businesses.

Keep text, logos, borders, QR codes, and other important design elements safely inside the recommended trim area so they remain unaffected by cutting or corner rounding.

Design Recommendations

Soft-touch lamination works particularly well with artwork that benefits from a smooth matte presentation. Consider using:

• Dark or saturated backgrounds
• Refined neutral color palettes
• Minimalist layouts
• Elegant typography
• Monograms and brand symbols
• High-contrast logos
• Subtle patterns
• Fine linework
• Premium product photography
• Full-bleed color
• Coordinated front-and-back designs
• Generous negative space

Avoid placing important information too close to the finished edge. Background colors, photographs, patterns, and other elements intended to extend to the edge must continue through the required 0.125" bleed.

If your cards require handwritten notes, signatures, loyalty stamps, or appointment information, confirm surface compatibility before ordering.

Flexible Quantities for Different Business Needs

Order between 25 and 5,000 cards according to your networking, staffing, event, and promotional requirements.

Smaller quantities are practical for individual professionals, new employees, limited campaigns, special events, or testing a new design. Larger quantities support sales teams, trade shows, multi-location businesses, customer distribution, packaging inserts, and ongoing marketing programs.

Before choosing a quantity, consider how frequently the cards will be distributed, the number of team members who need them, upcoming events, and how long the printed information is expected to remain current.
