Why Choose Velvet Paper
Velvet Paper — Flocked Surface Paper With Instant Luxury Tactile Impact
Velvet paper is a specialty paper with a flocked fiber surface — short cut fibers electrostatically applied to the paper base in a dense, upright pile that mimics the appearance and feel of velvet fabric. The result is a paper material that, when held, feels like luxury textile rather than paper — communicating premium quality through an unexpected tactile experience that standard packaging materials cannot achieve.
Velvet paper is used for rigid box wrapping, luxury hang tags, premium product presentation cards, and specialty gift packaging where the material itself is the brand signal. The flocked surface accepts printing with appropriate UV ink systems, allowing brand artwork to be applied to the velvet surface while preserving the velvet tactile quality.
Velvet Paper vs Flocking Application
Velvet paper has the flocked fiber already applied to the paper substrate at the paper mill — it arrives as a material ready for die-cutting and wrapping. Flocking application is the alternative — applying flocked fiber to an already-assembled box as a separate production step. Velvet paper is more consistent and easier to work with for flat-surface applications; flocking application provides more flexibility for complex box geometries and interior surfaces.
Velvet Paper Colors and Applications
Velvet paper is available in a range of colors — black, deep navy, burgundy, forest green, gray, and blush are the most popular for luxury packaging. Dark colors create the most dramatic contrast for foil-stamped or UV-printed brand marks. Lighter velvet colors (blush, ivory, light gray) are used for bridal, feminine luxury, and contemporary lifestyle brands. The flocked surface is slightly directional — running a finger against the pile direction creates a darker appearance; with the pile creates a lighter appearance.

Velvet Paper Packaging in Arkansas — FAQs
Can velvet paper be die-cut?
Yes. Velvet paper can be die-cut to any shape. The flocked surface has a clean cut edge that does not fray or unravel, making it appropriate for complex die-cut shapes for luxury packaging components.
How is velvet paper printed?
UV ink printing systems formulated for flocked surfaces are used for velvet paper. The ink deposits on the fiber tips of the flocked surface — coverage over the pile creates a matte, slightly textured print quality that is distinctive from smooth surface printing.
Is velvet paper appropriate for food packaging?
No. Velvet paper is not appropriate for food contact packaging — the flocked fiber surface cannot be cleaned and the pile structure harbors debris. It is used for outer luxury packaging not in contact with food.
How durable is the flocked surface?
Velvet paper flocking is durable for standard retail and consumer use. Extended rubbing or abrasion can mat the pile over time — velvet paper packaging is designed for premium gifting and luxury retail rather than high-abuse applications.

Velvet paper rigid box wrapping starts at 50 units. Velvet paper hang tags and presentation cards start at 100 units.
