Good to know

Before you order.

Which finish should I pick?

Gloss works well for photos and bright designs. Matt works well for text-heavy designs, corporate brands and anything that needs writing on or reading under bright lights.

Pairing with other finishes

Matt lamination is often paired with spot UV or foil for a bold contrast. Ask us about combining finishes.

Frequently asked questions

Does lamination take longer?

Lamination usually adds a little time to the job. We confirm the turnaround in your quote.

Can you laminate just one side?

Yes, one or both sides, depending on the product.

Can I write on a laminated card?

Writing is easier on matt lamination, as gloss can smudge.
