Textured Business Cards with Raised Scodix Finish

A scodix business card answers the decision that comes before layout: which parts of the card should be seen first and which should be felt. These textured business cards pair a soft velvet laminate with raised clear Scodix on the design elements you nominate, so the final piece has a smooth, low-key field and a dimensional focal point. The stock and shape are fixed, so the remaining choice is placement: the raised pass can sit on the front or the back of the card. That placement decision, rather than a long list of paper grades, is what the format asks you to settle.

The paper choice is intentionally fixed at 450 gsm Artboard with Velvet Laminate, which removes a stock decision and keeps the finish comparison clear. The velvet base gives the printed sheet a smooth surface, and the raised clear Scodix occupies only the design areas that need dimension. This is the same territory covered by raised spot uv business cards and soft touch business cards with spot uv: a dimensional clear gloss over a velvet surface. The raised areas catch light while the surrounding velvet stays understated, so the finish works as both a visual cue and a tactile signal.

The card is cut to a rectangle 90mm wide by 55mm high, and the options center on print side and finish position rather than shape or stock.

• Print side: 1 side or 2 sides
• Scodix finish: front or back
• Paper: 450 GSM Artboard with Velvet Laminate
• Shape: rectangle
• Dimension: 90mm W x 55mm H
• Minimum order: 250 cards

Production takes 2 to 4 working days, so the card fits a reorder cycle without stretching the wait on a new design.

Your artwork can stay focused on where the finish should appear, because the stock and lamination are already fixed. The printed sheet is produced in full color first, then laminated in velvet, and the clear Scodix pass is placed on the elements you mark. Elements left out of that raised pass stay smooth, while the parts you mark become the glossy raised points. This means the setup is mainly a placement map for the finish, with the print side choice determining whether the map applies to one face or two.

When the card is handed over in person, the raised clear areas and the velvet body give two distinct cues in quick succession. The glossy raised areas stand out against the smooth velvet surface by sight and by touch, so the selected name, mark, or detail receives the first handling. The rest of the card stays smooth enough to read comfortably, which keeps contact details easy to scan even after the finish draws the eye. That combination of dimension and calm background is the reason the format suits businesses whose first impression depends on a physical exchange.

Real estate agents, law firms, architecture studios, beauty and hospitality brands, and creative consultants use this finish when a logo, monogram, or single design element should carry the first touch. The velvet laminate keeps the surrounding contact details calm, while the raised clear Scodix gives the mark a physical presence without altering the printed color. A studio that relies on precise brand color can keep that color intact and still add a tactile layer. The format also suits a consultant who hands over a card during a first meeting and wants the handling of the card to reinforce the service.

Scodix is the choice when the raised effect should stay clear and sit on a velvet surface. If the design calls for a different finishing route, the linked range lets you compare neighboring formats. Spot UV Business Cards and Raised Foil Business Cards cover other finish directions for marks that need a change, while Standard Business Cards and Duplex Business Cards shift the material decision instead. Choose this product when the velvet surface and the clear raised dimension are the effect the card needs.
