How it behaves in production
- 32PT SOFT TOUCH is a double-thick laminated paper construction, approximately 0.81 mm — not 16pt and not plastic stock.
- SOFT TOUCH IS A PLASTIC MATTE LAMINATE — visually a smooth uniform low-sheen matte surface. NO fabric, velvet, suede, felt, fuzzy nap, visible tooth, fibres, or cloth weave.
- The laminate changes sheen and touch only. Preserve the brief/artwork ground colour; never invent clear, frosted, black, white, or kraft substrate.
- Foil and raised spot UV are valid; edge paint or gilding must be explicitly listed in finishes and included in pricing when rendered.
Common questions
- Is Soft-touch laminated 32pt dyed through?
- No. Soft-touch laminated 32pt is not a dyed-through sheet, so a cut edge will not match the printed face. If you need a coloured edge on this stock we add painted edging as a separate operation.
- Can you letterpress on Soft-touch laminated 32pt?
- We do not recommend letterpress on Soft-touch laminated 32pt. For light type on this stock we use foil stamping instead, which is opaque and sits cleanly on the surface.
- What weights do you stock Soft-touch laminated 32pt in?
- 32pt (~600gsm). Heavier weights can usually be duplexed to order — ask and we will confirm before quoting.
- Can I see it before I order?
- Yes, and you should. Screens flatten texture and shift colour. We send physical samples of any stock in this directory before you commit.
