In card production, surface treatment (card finish) is an important aspect that affects not only the appearance of the card, but also its durability and functionality. Here are some common card finishing options:

Glossy finish

Glossy Finish is a surface treatment that provides a high gloss and smooth finish. This treatment makes the card visually vibrant and eye-catching, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Glossy finish is the most popular finish used in the production of PVC cards.

Matt finish

Matte Finish Card is a surface treatment that has a matte effect and is soft to the touch. Commonly used for business cards, ID cards, membership cards and other cards that require personalised information.

Brushed finish

Brushed Card Finish is a surface treatment with a fine brushed effect, commonly gold, silver and copper brushed. The brushed effect provides a unique visual and tactile feel, adding to the premium feel of the card. Commonly used in high-end membership cards, gift cards, business cards and personalised cards. Suitable for luxury brands, events and promotions.

Mirror finish

Mirror Finish is a special surface treatment that has a highly reflective effect, similar to the surface of a mirror. Mirror Finish makes the card surface smooth and reflects light, creating an extremely high gloss. Commonly used for high value membership cards, gift cards, event passes and custom cards.

Laser rainbow finish

Laser Rainbow Card Finish is a special finish that creates a colourful, glossy effect on the card surface, usually using laser technology. This treatment allows the card to appear in different colours and glosses at different angles, giving it a unique visual appeal. Often used for high-end membership cards, gift cards, event passes and custom cards.

Metallic Finish

Metallic Finish is a surface treatment with a metallic texture. This treatment gives the card a shiny metallic effect, giving it a premium and luxurious feel. The metallic sheen makes the card shine in the light and attract attention. Offers a variety of colour options such as gold, silver, copper, etc. to suit different design needs.
