Looking for a nice, heavy stock? 

Allow us to recommend our premium, 96% bright white, heavy 19pt paper stock. As a reference the 19pt paper stock is more than half the thickness of an actual credit card (Visa/MasterCard).

Velvet Finish

Velvet is a soft, dull, luxurious finish that gives the postcards a muted, velvet-like look and feel (feels similar to peach skin). Velvet feels like elegant paper but is actually a premium plastic film, a dull thin film laminate that's applied to both sides of the postcards. Velvet film is tear resistant (not proof), it is also used to protect the colors (especially dark colors) from rubbing off the edge of the paper. Velvet film will make the final postcard thicker. Example: 16pt stock + velvet film lamination will produce a 19pt postcard.

Note: Before the final velvet finish is applied an initial aqueous coating is first applied. Aqueous is a protective coating that helps with the drying process when printing and also provides added durability.

Spot gloss is a glossy coating that is only applied to a specific section of the postcard. The selected area is singled out and coated with a glossy finish while the rest remains matte/velvet. The goal of this process is to give your postcard some contrast by highlighting both the velvet film and the spot gloss. You have the option of adding the spot gloss to any area of the postcard, for example over a logo, a certain section of a graphic, or even as an elaborate pattern.
