An exemplary thermoplastic article having a matte, printable surface is made of a thermoplastic resin and a thermoplastic additive composition having cross-linked silicone microparticles in a carrier resin. The composition can have 2.5% to 7.5% cross-linked silicone microparticles in a carrier resin, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The cross-linked silicone microparticles have a particle size of about 2 μm to about 15 μm. The disclosed thermoplastic article can have a surface texture that is soft and smooth and a gloss level of less than 15 gloss units.
