Product details

Give your introduction a luxurious finishing touch. Our suede business cards pair full-color printing with a soft, velvety surface that invites a closer look, and feels as considered as the brand behind it. From a simple logo to a richly detailed design, the understated finish lets your branding take center stage.

Printed on sturdy 16pt cardstock and laminated on both sides, these cards finish at approximately 19pt thick for a substantial feel in the hand. The scuff-resistant velvet laminate adds everyday protection while giving every exchange a polished, personal touch.

Keep the look quietly elegant, or add optional Spot UV to highlight your logo, business name or a custom pattern with contrasting shine. Whether you’re meeting a new client, presenting your services or including a card with a purchase, suede business cards bring an extra sense of care to the experience.

Good to know

  • Velvety on both sides. Soft-touch laminate covers the front and back, so the card feels luxurious whichever way it’s held.
  • Approximately 19pt finished thickness. A 16pt cardstock base receives 1.5 mil velvet laminate on each side for added substance.
  • Soft-touch is a finish. These cards use velvet laminate over printed cardstock rather than actual suede fabric.
  • A softer color appearance. Velvet lamination can make printed colors appear lighter and more muted, with reduced contrast. Keep text clearly contrasted against its background.
  • Optional shine where it matters. Add Spot UV to selected details for glossy contrast against the soft surface. Available from 500 cards. For a dimensional finish, explore our Raised Spot UV Business Cards.
  • Scuff-resistant, with light water resistance. The laminate helps protect against everyday handling and small splashes, but the cards are not waterproof.
  • Spot UV requires separate artwork. Supply a matching black-and-white mask for each side receiving UV, with solid black marking the glossy areas.

File setup

  • Download the template above for your exact size: it shows the 1/16" bleed on each side and the 1/8" safe area.
  • CMYK color, with images at 300 dpi.
  • Outline or embed your fonts.
  • PDF works best. We also accept AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, JPG and PNG, up to 100 MB.

How to prepare your Spot UV files

  • Upload your full-color print artwork plus a separate black-and-white Spot UV mask for each side receiving gloss.
  • Create the mask in Adobe Illustrator and submit it as an AI or vector PDF file with all text converted to outlines.
  • Set every area that should receive Spot UV to solid black: C: 0, M: 0, Y: 0, K: 100. Black = gloss; white = no gloss.
  • Use only solid black and white in the mask. Do not use rich black, gray, gradients, shadows or transparency.
  • Match the mask’s size, orientation, bleed and exact artwork placement to the corresponding print file. The mask controls where the clear gloss is applied; your full-color file controls the printed colors.
  • Clearly name each file: Front Print, Front UV Mask, Back Print and Back UV Mask, as applicable. Supply masks only for the sides selected for Spot UV.
  • Choose "Email me a proof first" if you would like to review the artwork and Spot UV placement before printing. A digital proof shows placement but cannot reproduce the physical shine or soft-touch feel.

Your files and proofs

What file do I need to send?

A PDF at the finished size plus 1/16" bleed on every side, with text and logos kept 1/8" inside the cut line. JPG and PNG files at 300 dpi work too. Download the free template for your size on this page: it shows the bleed, cut and safe lines. Every file is checked by a real person before printing, and we tell you if something looks off. No design yet? Choose "Design it for me" ($39.00) and we email you a proof in about 2 business days.

Will I see a proof before you print?

Yes, if you want one, at no charge. Choose "Email me a proof first" and we send a proof you approve online (you can click on it to leave comments). Orders we design always get a proof first. Either way, a person checks your file before printing.
