A Trading Card That Feels Like Velvet
A suede trading card is the standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch card, sealed under a soft-touch suede laminate that changes how the card feels more than how it looks. The surface reads matte instead of shiny, feels like brushed velvet under a thumb, and hides fingerprints, so a card that gets passed hand to hand still looks clean. Whether you are printing a collectible set, a member card, or a premium networking card, the suede finish makes it feel worth keeping. Suede trading cards start at $94.74 for 250, rated 4.4 out of 5 across 22 reviews.
This card comes in one size and one stock, a thick 16 point card with a suede laminate, so you set only the ink coverage and the quantity. Want to see how suede sits next to the other finishes? Browse the full range on trading cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
A set of 250 at $94.74, about $0.38 a card, covers one character set for a small game or a club's member cards. A collector drop of 25,000 cards costs about 7 cents a card. Tap any tier below to see the total at that count.
What Are Suede Trading Cards
Suede trading cards are 2.5 by 3.5 inch cards printed full color on 16 point stock, then sealed under a soft-touch suede laminate. Customers order them for collectible and artist sets, VIP and membership cards, networking cards and hang tags, where a glossy card would feel ordinary and the suede makes people hold on to it. If a smoother, satiny surface suits the project better, the Silk Laminated Trading Cards cover that, and the suede sits right beside it as the velvety pick.
What Stock and Finish Do Suede Trading Cards Use
Every suede trading card prints on a single stock, 16 Point Suede Laminated. Sixteen point is a substantial thickness, heavier than a typical mailer and firm enough that the card does not flex in a pocket. The suede laminate seals both faces with a matte, velvety film that mutes glare, so colors look deep rather than reflective. This product has no gloss or UV option; pick one of the sibling cards below for those. The specs below are grouped exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

How Much Do Suede Trading Cards Cost
Suede trading cards start at $94.74 per 250, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so the size of the run sets the price per card. A set of 1,000 runs $145.26, 5,000 run $352.41, and 25,000 land at $1,767.12, which takes the cost from about $0.38 a card down to roughly $0.07. Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Wally makes a card people do not want to put down
Why a soft-touch suede laminate turns a $94.74 stack into a keeper.
Suede trading cards start at $94.74 for 250 and print on 16 point stock under a velvety soft-touch laminate. The matte, brushed feel makes collectible sets, member cards, and premium networking cards feel expensive. Print one side or both, pick your speed, and Wally runs them fast out of NYC.
Can You Print on Both Sides
Yes. Suede trading cards come in one size, 2.5 by 3.5 inch, and you choose how many sides carry color. Pick 4/0 to print full color on the front and leave the back blank, which keeps the cost down when the reverse does not need art. Pick 4/4 to print full color on both sides when you want stats, a bio, a QR code, or a second design on the back. The suede laminate covers both faces either way, so a two-sided card feels just as soft as a one-sided one.
How Do Suede Trading Cards Compare to the Rest of the Range
Suede is one of several laminated finishes, and the right one comes down to feel. The Velvet Laminated Trading Cards go even softer than suede, the Gloss Laminated Trading Cards are bright and reflective, and for a raw, uncoated look the Kraft Trading Cards use a natural brown stock at a lower starting price. They all share the 2.5 by 3.5 inch size, so the finish is the main choice. The chart below lines up the starting prices side by side so you can compare before you pick.
How Fast Can You Get Suede Trading Cards
Suede trading cards print on a 4 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production out of the NYC plant. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Before anything prints, you also decide how to proof: send your file straight to production to save time, or request a free online proof and sign off on the layout first. Same Day orders need to be approved by the daily cutoff to ship that day.

Suede Trading Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
What size are suede trading cards?
They are 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches, the standard trading card size, printed edge to edge in full color. That is the size that fits standard sleeves, binder pages and card boxes, so a printed set slots in alongside cards people already collect.
What is the minimum order for suede trading cards?
The smallest run is 250 cards at $94.74, about $0.38 each. The per card price slides toward $0.07 as the run climbs to 25,000, so a full collectible set or a season of member cards costs far less per card than a first print run.
Do fingerprints show on the suede finish?
The 16 point card is sealed under a soft touch, velvety matte laminate that hides fingerprints, which matters for a card that gets passed hand to hand. The surface reads matte rather than shiny, so the card stays looking clean through a lot of handling.
Can I print the back of the card?
There are 2 ink options: 4/0 prints full color on the front with a blank back, and 4/4 prints full color on both sides. Collectible sets almost always take 4/4 so stats, artwork credits or a card number can live on the reverse.
Why is there only one stock and one size?
The product is built around one deliberate combination, a thick 16 point stock under a suede laminate, so there is nothing to over think. Instead of sorting through dozens of paper and size choices, you set your ink coverage and quantity and you are done.
How fast can suede trading cards be printed?
Standard turnaround is 4 business days, with 2 day, Next Day and Same Day rush available. The card rates 4.4 out of 5 across 22 reviews. With one size and one stock, the 16 point suede laminated card, only the ink and the quantity are left to set.
