About Our Silk Postcards
Give your printed materials a smooth, refined finish with Silk Postcards. Their silky matte surface creates a clean, professional appearance without the shine of traditional glossy postcards, making them a versatile choice for marketing materials, invitations, and customer communications.
Printed on sturdy 16pt cardstock, these postcards feature silk lamination on both sides for a distinctive feel and added durability. The laminated surface provides resistance to water and tearing, helping your printed materials stand up to everyday handling.
Available in five popular sizes with full-color printing on the front or both sides, Silk Postcards are a great option when you want something more distinctive than a traditional matte finish without moving into bold specialty effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do Silk Postcards feel like?
Silk Postcards have a smooth, silky surface with a matte appearance. The lamination creates a more refined feel than traditional unlaminated cardstock.
What's the difference between Silk and Suede Postcards?
Silk Postcards feature a smooth matte laminate, while Suede Postcards have a softer, velvety surface. Both offer a distinctive tactile experience, but suede has a more pronounced soft-touch feel.
Are Silk Postcards waterproof?
No. The silk lamination provides resistance to water and tearing, but these postcards should not be considered completely waterproof. For applications involving frequent moisture exposure, our Waterproof Postcards are a better choice.
Can Silk Postcards be printed on both sides?
Yes. Full-color printing is available on the front only or on both sides, with silk lamination applied to both surfaces.
Can I add glossy accents to Silk Postcards?
Spot UV may be available by custom quote. This specialty finish adds glossy accents to selected areas of your design, creating contrast against the smooth matte surface.
