Default Re: Cheap Hang Tags

Personally I'm a big fan of the matte celloglaze finish, which I'm guessing is the same as the satin finish. Generally it's a kind of waxy coating. Makes the card look more expensive, attractive, and subdued. Not as tacky as a gloss finish, and not as unprofessional as an unfinished card. Doesn't have that shiny baldman look. That said... not necessarily worth the extra money, depending on what you're doing with your cards other options can be just as good or better. Clearly this stuff is all very subjective.

The best thing to do would be to request samples from your printer. They should all be able to provide you with samples of past cards to show what their quality is like and to show the difference between finishes.
