Best way do to a good prototype is, A4 Offset 300g printed in front and back. After finish, use a paper varnish, not much, and thats it. You will have sweet deck.

It's been a couple years. How is the linen card holding up?

Super useful information, thank you! I'm curious why you had problems with shuffling the 110lb stock when Martin used that one and suggests it.

Also I think if anything, the linen stock will be more durable if the laminate is able to melt inside of the little crevices of the texture, but I could be wrong

Mmmm, in my experience, double pass on laminator on thinner paper leaves You with wrinkles. 1 pass is more than enough. (old GBC laminator). I never had problems of lamination un-glueing.

Nice video I have two questions what printer do you use to print out your cards and how do you do the card layout on the page before you print them out thanks

So, how are the cards holding up after 2 years?

How well does the lamination last? I was thinking about doing your 3 layer card technique (with linen paper), but I might try this since I have lamination sheets and 65lb cardstock.

How are those cards standing up now? Just curious because I bought a laminator recently.
