What are the advantages and disadvantages of glossy cards?

Glossy cards refer to cards whose surface has not undergone any special processing, called glossy cards. Glossy cards come in two types: calendered and smooth. Generally, calendered cards do not have a coating, while glossy cards do. Therefore, glossy cards are generally brighter than calendered ones. This is because after coating, the reflected light looks very beautiful on the card, hence the name glossy card. So, what are the differences between them? Let me briefly explain below.

1. Advantages of glossy cards

First, the advantages of glossy cards are obvious. Because they have a special film, the entire card looks very bright and beautiful! This is especially suitable for cards with many colors and complex patterns. Secondly, because it has a membrane, ordinary liquids cannot penetrate the card.
Glossy cards are relatively common in the market and are often used in situations with complex patterns. Of course, there is also a type of card that needs to be printed by the printer itself, which requires the use of glossy cards. This is the advantage of glossy cards.

2. Disadvantages of glossy cards
The disadvantages of glossy cards should be called the drawbacks of glossy cards. Why? Because glossy cards without film are still glazing cards. The biggest drawback of glossy cards is that they are prone to scratches because they lack protective film, so the cards don't last as long during actual use. Glossy cards with film compensate for this very well. So, so far, we haven't seen any disadvantages of glossy cards.
