Soft Touch Brochures
Soft-touch brochures feature a special velvet-like lamination that creates an irresistible tactile experience. The moment someone picks up a soft-touch brochure, they notice the difference — a smooth, muted, sophisticated surface that feels like suede and immediately communicates premium quality.
At Perklets Print, our soft-touch lamination is applied over the full surface of the brochure, creating a consistent velvety texture that subdues the print colours slightly while adding incredible depth and elegance. The effect is subtle but unmistakable — people instinctively spend more time holding and reading soft-touch materials.
Soft-touch brochures are the preferred choice for luxury real estate, premium automotive, high-end hospitality, and financial services marketing. The finish pairs exceptionally well with spot UV accents, creating a dramatic contrast between the velvety base and the glossy highlighted elements.

FAQs: Soft Touch Brochures
What does soft-touch lamination feel like?
Soft-touch lamination creates a velvety, suede-like texture on the paper surface. It is smooth, warm to the touch, and has a muted, sophisticated appearance that reduces glare and adds depth to printed colours.
Does soft-touch lamination change the colours?
Soft-touch lamination slightly subdues colours, giving them a deeper, more muted tone compared to gloss lamination. This effect is generally considered more elegant and is particularly effective for premium branding.
Can I add spot UV to soft-touch brochures?
Absolutely — this is one of the most popular premium combinations. The contrast between the velvety soft-touch base and the glossy, raised spot UV accents creates a visually stunning and tactile effect.
Is soft-touch lamination durable?
Yes, soft-touch lamination is highly durable and provides excellent protection against fingerprints, scuffs, and moisture. It maintains its velvety texture through handling and storage.
