Matt Laminated Business Cards With Foil Stamping

We now offer beautiful silver or gold metallic foil business cards with luxury matt lamination. The foil is applied to our 450gsm matt laminated card using traditional stamping techniques, with each card foiled by hand, one by one. Metallic foil can look particularly effective when adding simple detailing to the cards, maybe a foiled company logo on the reverse of the cards.Our designers start with a thick 450gsm ultra white stock. After Hours designers print both side of the cards in full colour as standard. We then apply an ultra thin layer of matt finish plastic to the front and back surfaces. This matt lamination gives the card a unique texture while offering protection against discoloration and fading. Take a look of our best collection of matt laminated business cards.
