The glossy surface shows fingerprints and minor scratches more easily than matte. Not writable with pen — the glossy coating repels ink.

About Glossy Business Cards
Glossy business cards are the extroverts of the card world — they want to be noticed. The UV coating reflects light across the entire surface, which makes colors appear more vivid than they would on any other paper finish. A photograph on glossy stock has more depth and contrast than the same photograph on matte.
The tradeoff is subtlety. Glossy cards are harder to read under direct light because the reflection competes with the text. They show fingerprints. They feel more commercial and less understated than matte. For photography, product-based businesses, food, and creative industries where visual impact matters more than restraint, glossy is the right choice.
If you want the color vibrancy of glossy with better scuff resistance and fewer fingerprints, Silk Laminate splits the difference.
