  • About Our Suede Postcards

    Make your message memorable with a finish that's meant to be felt. Suede Postcards feature a smooth, velvety surface that gives your printed materials a distinctive soft-touch feel, adding a refined detail to invitations, promotional pieces, and customer communications.

    Each postcard is printed on sturdy 16pt cardstock and finished with soft-touch velvet lamination on both sides, creating an approximately 19pt finished thickness. The result is a substantial card with a luxurious feel that stands apart from traditional matte or glossy postcards.

    The scuff-resistant laminate also helps protect the printed surface through everyday handling.
