Choose the card’s finish

 

Matte Finish

Opting for a matte finish results in a non-reflective surface that offers a smooth and understated look. Matte finishes are elegant and sophisticated, providing a subdued appearance that's suitable for a wide range of designs. This finish minimizes glare and fingerprints, creating a more subdued and refined aesthetic. Matte finishes are versatile and work well for both formal and casual occasions.

 


Glossy Finish 

Choosing a glossy finish adds a vibrant and shiny appearance to your custom cards. Glossy finishes enhance colors and images, resulting in a visually striking effect. They catch and reflect light, creating a dynamic and attention-grabbing look. Glossy finishes are ideal for designs that demand vibrancy, such as vibrant graphics, photography, or bold illustrations. However, they can be prone to glare and fingerprints.
