Description
Soft Touch Lamination Business Card / Velvet Name Card Printing Singapore
Premium business cards with a soft touch velvet lamination — a smooth, suede-like matte finish that people can’t resist touching. Soft touch laminated name cards instantly feel more luxurious and expensive than standard matt or gloss cards, making them one of the most effective ways to leave a memorable first impression.
The soft touch laminate film is applied over the printed card, creating a velvety texture with a subtle matte appearance. It also adds a layer of protection against scuffs, fingerprints, and general wear — so your cards stay looking sharp for longer.
Why Soft Touch Lamination?
Standard matte lamination gives a flat, smooth finish. Soft touch lamination goes further — it has a tactile, almost powdery texture that feels premium the moment someone holds your card. It’s the difference between handing someone a business card and handing them an experience. In a stack of name cards collected at a networking event, the one with the velvet finish is the one people pick up again.
Card Stock Options
- 310 GSM Soft Touch Lamination (Velvet) — our standard soft touch option. A solid weight with the signature velvety matte finish on both sides. Professional, understated, and tactile.
- 310 GSM Soft Touch + Spot UV (1-Side) — soft touch velvet base with selective glossy UV highlights on one side. The contrast between the matte velvet and the raised gloss creates a striking visual and tactile effect — perfect for making logos or text pop.
- 310 GSM Soft Touch + Spot UV (2-Side) — spot UV highlights applied to both sides for maximum impact.
- 360 GSM Soft Touch Lamination (Velvet) — a thicker, heavier card stock for an even more premium feel. Noticeably sturdier than 310 GSM with the same luxurious velvet finish.

- 360 GSM Soft Touch + Spot UV (2-Side) — the full premium package. Thick card, velvet lamination, and spot UV on both sides.
The Spot UV + Soft Touch Combination
Spot UV on a soft touch laminated card is one of the most popular premium finishes in business card printing. The matte velvet surface absorbs light, while the spot UV areas reflect it — creating a contrast you can both see and feel. Use it to highlight your logo, company name, a border, or a design element. It requires a separate artwork layer to indicate which areas should receive the UV treatment.
