Soft Touch Laminated Rack Cards 20pt - Clubcard Printing Canada

Rack cards printed with soft touch lamination evoke a sense of luxury and the velvety sensory experience sought by premium brands. With over 27 years of printing experience, the team at Clubcard Vancouver brings decades of production expertise to ensure these 20pt thick laminated rack cards are printed perfectly for our most discerning clients.

4" x 9" and 4.25" x 11" size soft touch laminated rack cards are printed in CMYK full colour on a Hewlett Packard Indigo printing press, using the most advanced technology to achieve colour consistency and accuracy on reprints, multiple rack card orders, and brand colour matching. These large rack cards are thick and velvety soft, but still stiff and sturdy to hold up in display racks and repeated customer use.

Let us help make your rack cards a big deal, bringing luxury and elegance to the table.

Proofs Do Not Include Lamination

Because of the additional step required, printed proofs do not include the soft touch lamination.

Does Lamination Dull The Colours?

Like any lamination, soft touch lamination will dull or mute the colours when applied.

Does Lamination Help Protect The Cards?

Soft touch will be more durable and protect the ink from rubbing off especially with heavy coverage.

Can I Use Small Fonts On Soft Touch Cards?

The minimum recommended text size is 6pt. With any small text, if grey use a black ink only version; if black, use 100% K.

Can I Use Thin Lines On Soft Touch Cards?

Anything thinner than a hairline stroke (0.25") - even at 100% K may look choppy when printed due to Indigo print resolution.

Is Indigo Resolution Different From Offset?

There is a screen to the Indigo print which customers should be aware of if they're comparing to traditional offset printing.

Should You Use Rich Black On Indigo Cards?

Don't use rich black on Indigo printing. 100% K will be just fine.

What Is The Difference Between Soft Touch and Silk Lamination Cards?

Soft Touch Lamination is different than our Silk Lamination, it feels very similar to a peach. If you are unsure, ask us for some free samples.

Can I Write On Soft Touch Cards?

Coated cards aren't ideal for writing on. If this is a big deal, check out our uncoated card stock options.

Can Greys Can Shift?

CMYK Process colours in the grey range and de-saturated images can shift in colour throughout the print run and may cause the greys to appear either cooler or warmer. For a neutral grey, we recommend converting all grey values and de-saturated images to true greyscale consisting of K (black) only values.

Is there colour variation on solid blue?

Depending on the colour value, you may experience colour variation in solid fills of blue colour. For great blue results we recommend a 30% difference between your Cyan and Magenta levels to ensure a nice rich dark blue, rather than purple.
