Find Your Perfect Card Finish at Plastek Cards

Canvas Finish*

This is a silkscreen process which can be applied as an overall finish to a card or integrated into the design, and gives the feel of canvas to the area where the silkscreen process was applied.

Frosted Finish

For a more refined look, consider frosted plastic cards, such as frosted business cards. Frosted cards do not have the sheen of a gloss finish, and offer a smooth and professional appearance that is translucent on clear cards. Available on both clear and solid card stock, frosted finishes have the look and feel of a smooth matte texture.

Laced Finish

This finish provides a brushed metal appearance to cards. Not available for clear cards.

Matte Finish

For durability and texture, a matte finish is tough to beat. The granular feel of a matte finish makes scratches less noticeable, and can add to the overall warmth and strength of your design.

Overlay Finish

With a gloss finish, overlays allow for post-production printing on cards, which is perfect for adding member information or other information at a later date.

UV Finish

Also providing a gloss appearance, UV finishes can be more cost-effective than an overlay finish, but cannot be printed on by the end user with a thermal desktop printer. Also, the card surface of a UV finished card is not protected by clear overlay film. This makes UV finishes more appropriate for cards that will be used short-term or cards that are not intended to be kept by the cardholder, such as promotional cards used in direct-mail marketing.

Paper Coated*

If you like the look of paper but the durability of plastic, paper coated cards are the right choice. By applying a layer of paper over the top of the card, we are able to produce a long-lasting card with a paper texture.

Soft Touch

Available on both cards and sleeves, a soft touch finish adds a velvety smooth feel without the reflective qualities of a gloss finish or the courser texture of a matte or frosted finish (shown here on a paper card).

Scented Matte Finish

Scented matte finishes have a similar finish and feel as matte, but with the option of having a scent applied. Scents can be applied to the entire card or to specific areas of the artwork.
