Hang tag printing on 19pt thick suede laminated card stock at Clubcard Vancouver combines the velvety richness of suede lamination with the functionality of scuff-resistance, moisture-wicking and superior strength.
We offer several standard sizes of hang tags to choose from in sizes from 2" x 2" up to 3.5" x 3.5".
Suede laminated hang tags are printed in full colour on 16pt cardstock with 1.5mil thick suede lamination added to each side creating a very resilient 19pt thick tag that will hold up to the rigors of shopping.

Coatings Make The Colour Vary
Without the use of spot gloss, colours under silk laminated coating will appear slightly muted and may alter the final result. (Even 100% K will appear somewhat charcoal in colour.) Colour matching of artwork is not suited to this product. Silk Laminated cards will mute your colours, if you add spot gloss to it will darken that specific section.
Fine Details Don't Translate Well To Spot UV
Due to the liquid nature of the spot gloss application, fine details may expand and fill in unexpectedly. If the spot gloss placement includes a lot of fine detail, tight corners, etc., the spot gloss will result in some filling in, especially at smaller sizes. Make sure that spot gloss designs are as simple and large as possible.
Don't Try To Spot UV Fine Text
Because there may be some slight shifting of the spot UV (spot gloss), we do not advise putting the spot UV over the text. You can expect up to 1/16" variance between the gloss and the CMYK layers, so trying to line up the thin gloss with small or thin text underneath may not turnout as expected.
Spot UV Can Shift
Spot gloss doesn't always line up 100% perfect. Usually "blind" spot gloss applications turn out the best. Aligning the spot gloss with CMYK elements often reduces the contrast of the spot gloss and any shift in alignment is noticeable. Spot gloss alone provides great contrast when applied over a solid fill or even just on the white matte stock. Another great effect is to have a pattern in just spot gloss in the background.
