Product Details
Spot UV adds a clear, glossy layer exactly where you choose. On a matte card, a logo or pattern finished with spot UV catches the light while the rest of the card stays soft and flat. The contrast is subtle but striking. Packwhole prints custom spot UV business cards for brands that want a polished, modern detail.
The card is printed first, then a clear UV coating is applied to selected areas and cured with ultraviolet light. The coated parts look shiny and feel slightly smooth compared with the matte surroundings.
– Logo highlight: the classic use for a premium look. – Hidden pattern: a tone-on-tone pattern that appears when the card tilts. – Name or tagline: draw the eye to key information. – Photo areas: make an image shine against a matte frame.
| Option | Details | |—|—| | Base finish | Matte or soft touch for best contrast | | Coverage | Logo, text, pattern or images | | Sides | Front, back or both | | Combine with | Gold or silver foil |
1. Create a separate layer for the spot UV area in solid black. 2. Align it exactly with the printed design underneath. 3. Avoid very fine lines that may not coat evenly. 4. Let our designers check the file; the spot UV layer is shown on your digital proof.
Standard spot UV is smooth and almost flush with the card. For a texture you can feel, see raised spot UV business cards.
Quantities start small and production moves quickly. Our team prepares the layout at no charge. Pair spot UV with matte business cards or browse the full business cards category.
Compared with foil, spot UV business cards add a premium detail at a more modest cost, which makes them a smart upgrade for growing teams. A glossy logo on a matte card looks considered without stretching the marketing budget.
