Majestic & Luxury Printing Services
Create a First Impression Your Clients Will Never Forget
In the high-stakes business environments of Bellevue and Seattle, standard isn't enough. When you are closing a deal in a downtown skyscraper or showcasing a luxury property, your marketing materials act as a direct extension of your brand's value.
At Zebra Printing, our Majestic Products line is designed for those who refuse to compromise. We move beyond simple ink on paper to engineer tactile, visual experiences that command attention.
From the shimmer of hot foil to the velvet caress of suede lamination, these are not just printed products; they are conversation starters that set the stage for success.
Our Majestic line incorporates advanced finishing technologies like Raised Spot UV and Painted Edges. These premium features were once reserved for only the largest print runs but are now accessible to local businesses.
Whether you need business cards that feel like heavy credit cards or postcards that sparkle, Zebra Printing provides the luxury printing services necessary to elevate your brand.
The Guide to Majestic Finishes & Techniques
Navigating the world of luxury printing can be complex. There are numerous textures, reflective properties, and structural options to consider.
To help you design the perfect piece, we have broken down our Majestic offerings into key categories. Each technique offers a unique psychological impact for your brand.
The Brilliance of Foil: Akuafoil & Hot Foil
Metallic elements suggest value, prestige, and high quality. We offer two distinct ways to achieve this look, each with its own advantages.
Foil Worx (Hot Foil Stamping): This is the traditional, ultra-premium method. A heated die presses actual metallic foil (Gold, Silver, Copper) into the cardstock for a bright, reflective finish.
Akuafoil (Cold Foil): For modern brands that need versatility, Akuafoil is revolutionary. We apply a liquid foil layer under the CMYK ink to create any metallic color imaginable.
Tactile Luxury: Suede, Velvet & Silk
In a stack of glossy cards, a matte, textured card stands out by feel alone. Our lamination options provide a sensory experience that implies sophistication.
Suede / Velvet Soft Touch: This is our most popular luxury finish. The card is laminated with a special film that feels exactly like soft suede leather or velvet to the touch.
Silk Lamination: Similar to Suede but with a smoother, "silky" glide. It offers water and tear resistance while maintaining an elegant matte appearance that is professional and durable.
Adding Dimension: Raised Spot UV
Flat printing is standard; 3D printing is Majestic. Raised Spot UV takes traditional Spot UV (a clear, glossy coating) and elevates it literally.
We apply a thick layer of clear polymer resin to specific areas of your design. This creates a high-gloss, raised texture that you can feel with your fingertips.
The contrast between the raised glossy area and the Suede or Velvet background creates a stunning visual and tactile effect that is impossible to ignore.
Structure: Painted Edges & Ultra-Thick Stocks
A flimsy card gets lost in a wallet; a thick card demands its own space. Our Majestic line features 32pt Painted Edge cards.
These cards are double the thickness of a standard business card, creating a rigid, unbendable "board" feel.
We then paint the edges in a color of your choice, ensuring your brand color is visible even when the card is stacked on a desk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Suede or Soft Touch lamination?
Suede is a premium lamination applied to cardstock. It has a velvety, matte texture that feels soft to the skin, similar to peach fuzz or suede leather. It offers a luxurious feel and increases durability.
What is the difference between Raised Spot UV and regular Spot UV?
Regular Spot UV is a flat, glossy varnish. **Raised Spot UV** uses a thicker polymer application that sits roughly 50 microns high, creating a tangible 3D ridge you can feel for significant texture.
What is Akuafoil?
Akuafoil is a process where a silver foil base is applied, and translucent CMYK ink is printed over it. This allows you to create metallic effects in any color (gradients, photos, logos) rather than being limited to gold or silver.
How long do Painted Edge cards take?
Due to the complex process of duplexing thick stocks and manually painting the edges, the turnaround is typically **5-7 business days**. This extra time ensures the highest quality finish.
Are Majestic cards durable?
Yes. The laminations used in our Suede and Silk cards make them water-resistant and tear-resistant. Our 32pt Painted Edge cards are extremely rigid and resistant to bending.
