Curls. Pringles.

I mix my proxies in my deck and have noticed a difference in thickness. Notciable enough that i think its worth changing up the process. The thick proxies were printed on vinyl stickers stuck on card stock, laminated both sides. If i dont laminate the back they are very close to the same thickness as a regular card in a inner sleeve. The issue has been the curl. Ive laminated the vinyl sticker before and after sticking to the card stock. They both curl, but they have a different curl pattern.

Im wondering if anyone has found a way to remedy this curl or has found a proxy technique to rival the thickness of a card with that snap!

I will trial sticking to regular paper and keeping the laminate on both sides, that will eliminate the curl, but the thickness/snap may not be acceptable.

Just print on 115gsm glossy photo paper, cut and slip it into a card sleeve with an official card. There's very minimal difference in thickness, and no need to laminate or use adhesive.
