Suede with raised foil. Add a flash of brilliance to suede cards that you can see and feel. The combination of raised foil contrasted with the velvety smooth suede foundation creates a tactile experience that customers can see and feel. Metallic embossment effects can enhance amazing detail in images, special accents, and logos. The Suede Cards are printed on 16pt card stock, laminated on both sides with 1.5mil scuff resistant, soft velvet laminate, which give them a substantial thickness of 19pt. Please note that the raised foil effect is used for the front of your product only.
We start with 16pt stock as a base and apply 1.5mil soft velvet, scuff resistant laminate to both sides of the sheet for a total thickness of 19pt. The soft velvet lamination adds a soft supple look and feel, which softens colors, reduces contrast and gives an overall lighter, muted appearance.
Suede Cards are water resistant, but not waterproof. This means the cards stand up well when they come in contact with a small amount of water, but cannot be submerged in water without water seeping into the card and causing damage. Please test your specific application to ensure the cards are appropriate for that use.
The term “Suede” refers to the soft, supple texture of the cards, not the actual materials used. A soft velvet laminate is applied to both sides of the card to achieve a luxurious suede-like look and feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to send postcards to people? Are there other ideas for how I can use them?
The beauty of a well-designed postcard is that you can use it in a wide variety of ways. Some popular approaches include coupons, street marketing handouts and more.
Do you have postcard design tips for postcard printing?
Yes – here are a few things to keep in mind as you design.
(1) Keep your design simple. Always remember that postcards are small, so a lot of complicated information can overwhelm its recipient. Identify the top few things you want a customer to know, and then focus on those points. Including a strong call to action – a website URL, phone number or address – gives people a way to learn more once they’ve become interested in what you have to say.
(2) Stand out with photography or a logo. Odds are good that your business postcards will be competing for attention with other promotional pieces – in a letterbox, on a notice board or even in your business. Bold colors, a high-quality image or your logo can help your postcard get noticed.
(3) Create a consistent look. It’s easy to use your font choice, logo and colors to create a matching business look across other marketing products, like business cards, signage and more. With a few matching products, you’re well on your way to establishing a recognizable, professional brand.
