FAQ's
How will the postcards look if printed on silk stock?
Silk paper will impart a subtle sheen to your design, resulting in a vibrant finish that is softer in appearance than a full high-shine gloss effect. The stock is also coated, allowing you to write on it with a ballpoint pen.
What sort of finish is expected for postcards printed on uncoated stock?
Uncoated stock has a rougher texture and has zero shine. Additionally, the material has a porous surface that absorbs ink quickly for a dry, smudge-free finish. Uncoated paper is particularly suitable for natural, tactile or organic feel designs.
How will the postcards look if printed on Kraft brown stock?
The Kraft brown stock, renowned for its rustic appeal, serves as an ideal canvas for designs that boast high levels of contrast, showcasing vivid tones and profound black shades with remarkable clarity and depth. Its earthy texture further enhances the visual impact, adding a tactile dimension to the overall aesthetic experience.
How will the postcards look if printed on gold dust stock?
Postcards printed on gold dust stock would exude an opulent shimmer, with the rich metallic sheen lending an air of luxury and sophistication to the design.
How will the postcards appear with your laminated options?
Postcards with gloss lamination will have a shiny, reflective surface, enhancing colours and giving a vibrant appearance. Matt lamination will result in a non-reflective, smooth finish, providing a sophisticated and elegant look. Soft-touch lamination will create a tactile, velvety feel, adding a luxurious texture to the postcard.

Lamination
Printed graphics without lamination will retain its original texture, which can create a unique aesthetic appeal. However, the print will be more susceptible to wear and tear, as it will have no protective layer provided by lamination. Over time, the lack of lamination may result in fading, smudging and decreased durability. While the absence of lamination allows for a distinct tactile experience with an initial cost saving, it’s essential to consider the trade-off in terms of longevity and resilience.
- Without lamination the print retains its original texture and cheaper to buy
- Lamination provides a protective layer that enhances durability
- The various lamination films can enhance the look and feel of the print
Matt lamination provides a non-reflective finish with zero shine. It adds a smooth texture to the surface while preserving the integrity of the print without any colour loss. This process enhances both the tactile and visual appeal of the printed material, offering a sophisticated and durable result.

Gloss lamination creates a high shine to printed materials, enhancing its visual appeal and making colours more intense and vibrant, particularly in well-lit areas. Additionally, the protective gloss lamination film provides excellent durability and is easy to wipe clean, ensuring a long-lasting and pristine appearance.

Soft-touch lamination elevates printed materials by imparting a luxurious, velvety smooth feel that enhances both the tactile and visual experience. With a matt-like finish devoid of any shine, it softens the visual elements while offering a refined touch, adding a premium element to the print. This technique enriches the sensory engagement, making it particularly appealing for products where texture and presentation are paramount.
