Product Details
Raised spot UV takes the shine of a gloss coating and adds height. The clear layer is applied much thicker than standard spot UV, so your logo or pattern stands up from the surface and can be felt with a fingertip. It gives the look of embossing with a glossy finish. Packwhole prints custom raised spot UV business cards so your card is noticed by eye and by touch.
| Feature | Standard Spot UV | Raised Spot UV | |—|—|—| | Height | Nearly flat | Noticeably raised | | Feel | Smooth | Textured, embossed feel | | Look | Glossy highlight | Glossy and dimensional | | Best for | Subtle accents | Logos and statement details |
– Raised logo: the most popular choice for a premium card. – Textured patterns: dots, lines or icons that people run their fingers over. – Name in relief: make the key information stand out physically. – Combined with foil: a raised, glossy layer next to metallic foil.
1. Use bold shapes: raised coating works best on solid elements, not hairlines. 2. Keep elements at least 1 mm thick so the raised layer forms cleanly. 3. Choose matte or soft touch for the best contrast; see soft touch business cards. 4. Supply a separate layer for the raised area, which our team will review.
Our designers prepare the raised layer at no charge and show it on a digital proof. Minimums are low and turnaround is fast. For a flatter finish, compare spot UV business cards, or see every finish in our business cards category.
People instinctively run their thumb over raised areas, so raised spot UV business cards turn a glance into a moment of interaction. That small extra second of attention helps your name and logo stick.
