Most Popular Questions
Silk Matte is one of our most popular and premium coatings that offers a suede-like and almost rubbery texture. It is applied as a film and provides rigidity and durability. This coating is completely flat in that it does not reflect any shine, making colours appear slightly darker or muted. Silk Matte can be easily written on with a standard ball point pen or permanent marker (gel or inky pens will smudge).

Can Silk Matte be applied to stickers?
We do not offer Silk Matte on stickers due to pronounced curling that occurs - stickers with this coating will not lay flat.
What is the difference between Offset Silk Matte cards and Digital Silk Matte cards?
The key difference between these two options is the print process, which affects the cost and the turnaround time.
Digital is a better choice if you require a small quantity (500 or less) and a quick turnaround time. It is available with a Same Day service and on the following stocks:
- 10pt
- 12pt Uncoated
- 16pt
- 16pt Vibrant Gray
- 20pt
- 24pt stocks stock
Offset is more economical for larger quantity orders with no critical deadline. Offset produces higher quality of printing than Digital and will have better print results for designs with gradients, large areas of grey color or high resolution photographic images. It is available on 16pt stock only.
Can Silk Matte be written on?
Silk Matte can be easily written on with a standard ball point pen or permanent marker (gel or inky pens will smudge).
For optimal results, please consider an uncoated stock as it can be written on with any writing utensil.
Is Silk Matte coating waterproof?
Silk Matte coating is not fully waterproof as the laminate is on the front and back of the cards only - it does not seal the edges of the card. This coating will still provide some water resistance and can be wiped down with a damp cloth without damaging the card.

- Bleed Area
- Trim Area
- Safe Area
Bleed Area refers to images that extend to the very edges of a design. To prevent an unwanted white border from showing at the edge of your design, or for the design to appear slightly off-center, be sure to extend any background colors or design elements all the way to the edge of bleed (.125” past the trim on all four sides).
Trim Area refers to the amount of the image that will appear on your finished product. These areas will also be marked with ‘cut lines’ on your proof and are where we aim to cut your card.
Safety Area in most cases refers to 1/8 of an inch inside of the Trim Area. For thicker papers 20pt and up or wooden papers the Safety Area increases ¼ of an inch inside the Trim Area. we strongly recommend you keep important aspects of your design such as text and logos well inside of the Safety Area, otherwise, they may be cut off.
