Description
Gloss lamination bonds a clear, shiny film to a 16pt core for a finished thickness of about 18pt. Colors look deep and saturated, and the film protects the print far better than a liquid coating.
The surface wipes clean and shrugs off moisture, which makes this card a good fit for trades, food service and anyone whose cards get handled a lot. Laminate both sides, or the front only to keep the back writable.
