What is soft-touch lamination?
Soft-touch lamination is a matte film with a velvety hand-feel that provides a premium, non-slip surface finish. You apply it over your printed design to create a tactile, rubbery texture that feels distinct from standard gloss or matte coatings. This finish is popular for business cards because it offers a sophisticated, modern aesthetic that resists fingerprints and smudges. The film adds a subtle cushion to the card, enhancing its perceived quality and durability without altering the visual color values of your CMYK print.
