Soft Touch Business Card Printing

Soft-touch, suede or velvet cards are a luxurious way to express yourself. The plush surface conveys an image of exclusivity and luxury. You’ll enjoy sharing these soft, elegant cards. They will work for any high-end business. They’re also a great way to make your personal business cards stand out.

The velvet surface adds thickness to the card stock. That makes these cards more durable than other business cards. We can print velvet or suede cards that you will enjoy using.

How to Save Your Files for Print

To ensure the best print results, follow these file setup guidelines when preparing your artwork:

File Setup Checklist

Resolution: 300 dpi
Bleed: 1/8" (0.125") on all sides
Color Mode: CMYK (or spot colors when applicable)
File Format: PDF (with fonts embedded or outlined)

Important Notes

• Make sure images are not compressed (turn off downsampling when exporting)
• Backgrounds that touch the edge must extend 0.125" beyond the trim line (bleed)
• You may include crop marks, but do not include file names or timestamps — it can throw off the layout
• Embed or outline all fonts to ensure crisp, clean text and avoid font errors
