Card Lamination Advice
Standard playing card coating
Our standard coating ensures cards can be shuffled or fanned as all playing cards should be.
This is the standard option for all our cards.
Laminated cards are a special option that is only required for the specific uses listed below.
Gloss laminate is very shiny and idea for writing on with a dry wipe marker. They can be written on
and wiped off many times. This is especially useful in games with the need to keep notes or score.
The game can then be replayed without replacing any cards. Mostly used with education flash cards where learning is the goal.
Matt laminate can’t be written on and wiped off. If you prefer a matt finish and would like to protect your cards
from getting damp for a drinking game for instance. Then laminated cards are ideal. All our laminates are water resistant.
Edges are not so water resistant.
Soft Touch laminate is very matt with a soft velvet feel. This laminate has no glare at all so it is very useful for sensory cards.
All our laminated cards are covered both sides as standard. Covering one side is not possible.
Laminated cards can’t be shuffled or fanned in the same way our standard playing cards can be although the other uses allow for completely different games.
