Silk finish is our trademark product. It provides a texture that is smooth to the touch. Silk finish adds a matte appearance to any of our products. It allows both ink and any add ons to fully shine.
Find out what makes our flagship product so special when you order a set of our signature silk laminated business cards: SilkCards.
So, what makes SilkCards so special? The process of placing a laminate coating over each business card during the finishing process give these cards their unique smooth texture. This elegant finish adds a touch of elegance to your branding and helps to identify and differentiate your business from your competition.
SilkCards are available in three card stock thicknesses, each with their unique benefits:
16pt card stock: This is a standard weight card stock that is 40% denser than most single layer cards. This signature weight is perfect for most business applications.
32pt card stock: This stock is our gold-standard signature product. This weight combines two 16pt stock cards to not only produce a thicker card but also allows for die cutting to create unique 3-D effects.
48pt card stock: For the ultimate unforgettable business card, you can't go wrong by choosing this premium card stock. This triple-layered technology is the newest and most innovative creation in the business card industry. The triple thickness provides an excellent surface for embossing, debossing, dual-sided die-cuts, foiling and Spot UV (regular, raised, dusted) design elements.
All SilkCards are laminated on both sides and are tear- and wear-resistant and can be customized to fit your business branding needs. Contact us today with any additional questions about our silk laminated business cards.
