Why choose soft touch business cards

  • The feel is the message

    Soft touch has a smooth, velvety surface with almost no shine. Most people run a thumb across it without thinking, which is the moment you want.

  • Dark designs look deep

    Navy, charcoal and black backgrounds read rich and even on a low sheen surface, with no hot spots of reflected light across the card.

  • Shape and corners to match

    Rounded corners and a square shape are both sold on the soft touch card, so the outline can be as considered as the surface.

Before you order

I cannot tell what it feels like from a screen
Nobody can. The business card sample kit puts printed paper samples in your hand for a dollar, so you can feel soft touch next to matte, glossy and the textured papers before a full order.
It costs more than a plain card
It does, at every quantity, because the surface is the product. If the price matters more than the feel, the matte card gives a similar low glare look for less.

How people use it

  • Client cards at a spa reception

    Print the treatment menu link and booking number on the back. Clients keep a card that feels good in a handbag, and the back answers how to book again.

  • A bridal fair table

    A square soft touch card in a small dish stands out from every rectangle on the table. Put the portfolio QR code on the back and your name alone on the front.

  • A rounded card for a boutique counter

    Rounded corners and a velvety surface suit a jeweler or a florist. Keep the front to a logo and let the texture carry the rest.

Plan a soft touch card around the surface

Soft touch is chosen for how it feels. These steps help you design for that surface and avoid paying for a feel that your layout hides.

  1. Feel it before a big run

    Order the sample kit if you have never held soft touch. Compare it in daylight with matte and glossy, and decide whether the difference is worth the price for your use.

  2. Design for low sheen

    Deep, solid colors and generous white space show off the surface. Fine detail prints cleanly, but busy full bleed photos make the card read like any other print.

    Read the soft touch guide
  3. Decide on the back and the corners

    A blank back keeps the card minimal. A black and gray back is the lower priced way to add booking details. Rounded corners suit the soft look.

  4. Check the file at card size

    Keep text inside the safe area, extend backgrounds to the bleed edge, and look at the card at 100 percent zoom before you add it to the cart.

Good to know

Does soft touch work with photos?

Photos print well but look calmer than on a glossy card, with softer highlights. Moody, warm or dark images suit it. If a photo has to look as bright as your screen, choose glossy.

How many soft touch cards should I order the first time?

The price ladder starts at 50 cards. A first run of 100 or 250 lets you see how clients react before you commit, and the price of each card falls as the quantity rises.

How small can text go on soft touch?

The surface does not spread ink the way uncoated paper does, so regular weights read cleanly. As a rule of thumb, keep phone numbers and emails at 8 pt or larger and test a printout at actual size.

Should I order rounded corners on a soft touch card?

Rounded corners are sold here and suit the soft character of the surface. They also stop corners from fraying when a card lives in a pocket for weeks.

Can I write on it?

Treat writing as untested. Velvety surfaces take some pens better than others, so try your usual pen on the first cards before you plan to write appointment times on a whole batch.
