FAQs
Can I print on both sides?
Yes. Choose 4/4 for full color on both sides, 4/1 for a full-color front with black ink on the back, or 4/0 for a full-color front and blank back.
What gives Suede cards their feel and thickness?
A 16PT C2S card receives 1.5 mil of Velvet laminate on each side, bringing the finished thickness to approximately 19PT. The laminate has a soft feel and helps resist scuffing.
Will lamination affect the printed colors?
The Velvet finish can make colors appear softer and lighter, with reduced contrast. Consider this muted appearance when preparing your artwork.
Can I add Spot UV?
Yes. Spot UV is available on the front. Double-sided print options also offer Spot UV Both Sides or Spot UV Back Full UV on the Front. The dropdown shows the choices available for your printed sides.
Does No Coating remove the Velvet lamination?
No. Velvet lamination is included with every Suede card configuration. No Coating means no additional Spot UV coating.
What turnaround time do you offer?
KB Print Lab offers 5 Business Days after artwork approval. Shipping transit time is additional.
Are Suede cards waterproof?
They resist small amounts of water, but they are not waterproof. Soaking or submerging a card can allow water into the stock and damage it.
Which sizes, corners, and quantities are available?
This product is 2 × 3.5 inches with a rectangular shape and square corners. No Coating is available from 250 to 5,000 cards; Spot UV starts at 500. Choose a supported quantity from the price table.
How should I set up my artwork?
Use CMYK color at 300 dpi. Add 0.0625 inch of bleed on each edge, making a horizontal file 3.625 × 2.125 inches. Extend backgrounds through the bleed, keep important content inside the template safety guide, and remove guides before export.
Where are the templates?
Open the Templates tab for horizontal and vertical JPEG templates. PSD files appear when supplied. A print-ready PDF is preferred; the upload area also accepts the other listed artwork formats.
