19 point thick suede laminated small size cards bring elegance to any size of card you design with a sensory velvet soft feel. From small squares to mini rectangles and trading cards, the elegance is real.
You can pack a lot into your small cards with unique, skinny, mini, and odd trim sizes while resting assured your cards will look and feel amazing. We will print your suede cards in full color on a sturdy 16 point card stock before adding a 1.5mil thick, velvety suede lamination on each side, creating a strong and resilient 19pt thick card that's in it for the win.
Consider adding a spot gloss layer to your order of 500 or more small cards to bring out contrasting elements with a splash of gloss against the matte suede/velvet stock. Small is big, soft is strong, and we're sure you'll love these suede cards all day long.
The matte suede laminated card stock has a scuff and moisture-resistant finish that will hold up well over time. And let's face it, these cards give everyone the "feels" so they're going to need some longevity!

Without the use of spot gloss, colors under silk laminated coating will appear slightly muted and may alter the final result. (Even 100% K will appear somewhat charcoal in color.) Color matching of artwork is not suited to this product. Silk Laminated cards will mute your colors, if you add spot gloss to it will darken that specific section.
Due to the liquid nature of the spot gloss application, fine details may expand and fill in unexpectedly. If the spot gloss placement includes a lot of fine detail, tight corners, etc., the spot gloss will result in some filling in, especially at smaller sizes. Make sure that spot gloss designs are as simple and large as possible.
Because there may be some slight shifting of the spot UV (spot gloss), we do not advise putting the spot UV over the text. You can expect up to 1/16" variance between the gloss and the CMYK layers, so trying to line up the thin gloss with small or thin text underneath may not turnout as expected.
Spot gloss doesn't always line up 100% perfect. Usually "blind" spot gloss applications turn out the best. Aligning the spot gloss with CMYK elements often reduces the contrast of the spot gloss and any shift in alignment is noticeable. Spot gloss alone provides great contrast when applied over a solid fill or even just on the white matte stock. Another great effect is to have a pattern in just spot gloss in the background.
Bleeds: all files must have a 1/8" bleed on each side
Live Area: keep all critical text and artwork 1/8" inside the trim
Colors: supply your files in CMYK color (Pantone/RGB colors will be converted or rejected)
Spot Gloss: Include a separate file/artboard with these elements colored with Pantone Black to denote the special finishing. Alternatively, if you would like to include these elements in the same file, place these elements on a separate layer and colored with a Pantone color (typically Pantone Black) that denotes the Spot Gloss.
