Spot UV Business Card Specifications
Raised gloss Spot UV visiting cards on 380 GSM velvet matte, from 50 cards.
What Is a Spot UV Business Card?
A Spot UV business card has a clear, UV-curable gloss applied to specific areas instead of the whole surface. The coating is cured instantly under ultraviolet light — that is where the name comes from.
Because only chosen areas are coated, one card carries two textures: a soft matte background and glossy, slightly raised highlights. That contrast is what makes the design look three-dimensional.
The same finish is also called spot lamination, spot gloss, raised UV, 3D UV or spot varnish. It is not the same as full UV coating, where the entire card is glossy.
Design Tips for Spot UV Cards
- Go dark. Spot UV shows best on black, navy or deeply saturated backgrounds.
- Highlight one or two elements only — glossing everything removes the contrast.
- Keep text 10 pt or larger, and avoid hairlines under 0.5 pt.
- Send a print-ready PDF in CMYK at 300 DPI, with a separate SpotUV layer filled in 100% K.
