Create Lasting Memories With Silk Greeting Card Printing
Silk greeting card printing enhances the elegance of traditional folded birthday cards, Christmas cards, and wedding invitations. Each card is coated with a thin layer of plastic that mimics the luxurious feel of silk. This silky texture improves the design and feel of the cards while offering protection against rough handling and moisture.
These cards are printed on durable 16 pt. cardstock with a glossy finish. You can even add spot UV to highlight specific design elements. Available in sizes from 4.25" x 11" to 8.5" x 11", you can go for the standard flat cards or the scored cards that fold neatly in half along the longer side.
Silk greeting cards are perfect for giving out to loyal customers. They can also be personalized for birthdays, special occasions or holidays to make them feel extra memorable. You can even write personal messages for that extra thoughtful and personal touch. What sets them apart from regular greeting cards is the smooth, silk-like surface—this tactile experience adds a unique and memorable effect to your cards.
Silk Greeting Cards FAQs

You may opt for silk lamination to be applied to just one side or both the front and back of the card. Silk coating can also be used for the folded greeting cards, applied both outside and inside the card. Going back-to-back with your coating provides full coverage and a luxurious feel to the material.
Silk paper has a smooth, silky texture due to its lamination, which gives it a luxurious, premium feel and added durability. Regular paper stock lacks this luxurious coating. While you can still design creative cards with the standard cardstock, adding the silk soft-touch lamination makes them look and feel more professional.
