The stock is a sturdy 16pt, and the soft touch velvet laminate on top gives it a smooth, almost suede-like surface that reads as premium the second it lands in a hand. Whether you are handing one to a new client, tucking it into a luxury package, or leaving it on a counter, it puts your name on something people want to keep holding.

What Are Velvet Business Cards
Velvet business cards are cards printed on a 16pt stock and sealed in a soft touch velvet laminate, a matte film that feels smooth and cushioned to the touch. At 4OVER4 they print full color on one or both sides in 4 sizes, from the standard 2" x 3.5" down to a 2" x 2" square, with optional spot UV and rounded corners set in the live configurator.
This is not a coating you print and forget. It changes how the card feels in a hand, it mutes glare so deep colors stay deep, and it makes even a simple design feel intentional. If you want a raised, glossy accent to play against the matte finish, the Spot UV Business Cards are built around exactly that contrast, and velvet cards can carry spot UV too. You set full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides, choose your size, and the price updates live as you build.
What Size Should a Velvet Business Card Be
Most people start with the standard 2" x 3.5", the shape every wallet and cardholder is built for. Want something that stands out on the shape alone? The 2" x 2" square reads like a token and gets kept, while the slim 1.5" x 3.5" feels sleek and modern. The 2.125" x 3.375" gives you a touch more room without breaking the familiar rectangle, and if none of those is exactly right, you can set a custom size up to 2" x 4" in the configurator.
All 4 sizes, both ink coverages and the full option list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. The velvet finish carries across every size, so the card feels the same premium whether it is square or slim.
What Finishes and Options Can You Add
Every velvet business card is built on one carefully chosen stock, a 16pt soft touch velvet laminated card. On top of that base you can add spot UV gloss on the front, the back, or both, choose rounded corners at a 1/8" or 1/4" radius, and print 4/0 full color on the front with a blank back or 4/4 full color on both sides.
The velvet laminate is where the card gets its soft, matte feel, and from there you layer on the details that make it yours. Spot UV drops a glossy accent over the matte so a logo catches light while the rest stays velvety. Rounded corners soften the card for a friendlier shape. Because the whole card runs on one premium stock, you get a consistent, luxury feel without a dozen decisions to second-guess. If you want that same soft hand in a different laminate, the Silk Laminated Business Cards and the Suede Business Cards are close cousins worth a look.

Velvet business cards print on a 4 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same-Day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff to ship that day.

Velvet Against Silk and Suede
Three laminates in this family feel different in the hand and photograph differently too. Velvet is the one on this card, a soft touch film over a 16pt stock that reads matte and slightly cushioned, mutes glare, and keeps dark colors deep instead of bouncing light back off them. It is the surface people call suede-like the moment they pick a card up.
The Silk Laminated Business Cards carry a smoother satin face with a touch more sheen, and the Suede Business Cards sit closest to velvet. All three take the same full color print on one or both sides. If one element should break the matte, spot UV on the front, the back or both is where this card earns its keep, since a glossy logo catches the light while the rest of the surface stays soft.
Velvet Business Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a velvet business card?
It is a 16pt card wrapped in a soft touch velvet laminate. The laminate gives the surface a matte, almost suede-like feel, so the card registers in the hand before anyone reads it. There is one stock here, because the velvet finish is the product.
What does the velvet finish do to my colors?
The matte laminate mutes glare, so colors read deep rather than shiny under a light. Fine detail stays legible because nothing reflects back off the surface. If you want contrast, add Spot UV so a logo or a name sits glossy against the matte field.
How does Spot UV work on a velvet card?
Spot UV lays a clear gloss only where you specify, so a logo, a name, or a pattern catches the light while the rest of the card stays soft and matte. You supply a separate mask showing where the gloss goes, and it can run on one or both sides.
What is the minimum order and what does it cost?
The smallest run is 250 cards, from $87.15. The per-card price keeps dropping as the run climbs toward 25,000, so ordering a year of cards at once costs less per card than repeat small runs.
What corner radius options are there?
Rounded corners come at a 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch radius, or you can leave the corners square. The 1/4 inch radius is the more noticeable curve and pairs well with the soft surface, while 1/8 inch is a subtler round that still keeps corners from bending.
How long does a velvet card take to produce?
Standard turnaround is 4 business days, longer than a plain card because of the laminate step. Rush speeds are available at 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day. You can also add a proof option before the run so you approve the file first.
How much should I pay for 500 business cards?
Use the tiers either side of it. A set of 250 velvet cards is $87.15, about 35 cents each, and 1,000 is $137.68, roughly 14 cents each, so a 500 run sits between the two and the live total shows the exact figure before you order. At 5,000 the run is $327.15, about 6.5 cents a card. A soft touch laminate on 16pt stock costs more per card than a plain uncoated print, and the price keeps falling as the run climbs toward 25,000.
Which material is best for business cards?
It depends on what the card has to do in a hand. This one runs on a single premium build, a 16pt stock wrapped in a soft touch velvet laminate, which is the pick when the feel should signal quality before anyone reads the type. A silk laminate gives a smoother satin surface, and suede sits closest to velvet. Any of them beats a thin uncoated card when the first impression has to last.
