Soft-touch Paper

Soft-touch paper delivers a smooth, velvety matte surface that invites fingertips to linger. The rubberized coating creates a sensory experience associated with premium quality, making it one of the most sought-after materials for luxury brand packaging.

Key Advantages

  • Distinctive tactile experience: The velvety hand-feel creates an immediate sense of luxury that customers remember
  • Fingerprint resistance: The matte coating minimizes visible fingerprints, keeping packaging pristine on shelves and during handling
  • Elegant matte appearance: Subdued, non-reflective surface provides a sophisticated backdrop for minimalist branding
  • Excellent print compatibility: Spot UV and foil stamping create dramatic contrast against the matte surface
  • Scuff resistance: The coating provides moderate protection against surface marks during transit

Common Applications

  • Cosmetics and skincare: Premium boxes for serums, creams, beauty sets, and skincare collections
  • Electronics packaging: Retail boxes for smartphones, headphones, and tech accessories
  • Luxury rigid boxes: Wrap material for high-end jewelry, watches, and premium gift presentation
  • Premium folding cartons: Retail packaging where shelf appeal and tactile quality directly drive purchase decisions

Industry insight: Combine soft-touch lamination with spot UV on your logo for a powerful contrast effect — the raised gloss against the matte background creates a visual and tactile focal point that customers instinctively reach out to touch. This combination is one of the most effective finishing pairings in premium packaging.
