Raised Spot UV Business Card Printing in Staffordshire

Establishing credibility and creating brand awareness are two of the main reasons to hand out business cards, but when everyone is doing it, how can you expect to stand out? 3D Spot UV business cards with raised elements are a fantastic way of securing your place at the top of the pile. If you’re exploring other premium finishes, check out our Foil Business Cards for an equally striking look.

Everyone knows that a well-executed business card communicates professionalism. For a more classic but still high-end alternative, consider our Premium Business Cards. Our three-dimensional Spot UV business cards have become one of our most popular and luxurious designs for this reason.

What are custom Spot UV Business Cards?

Spot UV cards are the same size as standard business cards, measuring 85mm by 55mm, but they include a unique Spot UV layer on certain aspects of the design for an attention-grabbing finish. The UV is only applied to specific areas, most often areas that you want people to notice, like your logo or brand name, and is a creative way of adding depth and contrast through differing levels of texture and shine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What can Spot UV Gloss Business Cards be used for?

Business cards are one of the world’s greatest marketing tools as they allow you to demonstrate the professionalism of your company in one simple transaction, but when you’re at a networking event where everyone is handing them out, how do you stay noticed? Silk business cards with spot UV are a fantastic choice for catching the right attention thanks to their unique shiny accents.

Regarded as a luxury option in business card design, they can also help expose the importance and professionalism of your brand and make that perfect lasting impression.

How should I design my Spot UV coating Business Card artwork?

As with any business card, the design of your Spot UV business card is incredibly important. One of the key things to be aware of is the amount of Spot UV coating you are using. You should never go full coverage as it really doesn’t look good, but instead, focus on which elements of your design you want to stand out. We recommend aiming for about 30% maximum coverage as this will make your graphic elements really attention-grabbing and can give your business the edge over a competitor.

As with all artwork for print, there is always the need for a 3mm bleed or trim. Colours should always be set up in CMYK too! If you’re struggling, you can always download our artwork templates to ensure your files are correct, or get in touch with us for a custom design quote.

Please note we would always recommend that you supply a separate pdf file with the UV effect elements only. Typically in black ink or magenta only. This is so we can be sure of the elements you wish to have the special finish. We then program our machine with the correct register marks to print these in a clear varnish – this is how spot UV is applied.

Spot UV layers can work well on logos, text and graphic shapes, but we wouldn’t recommend going too small with the text as the quality can look poor. One of the best ways to use Spot UV and add depth to your text and logos is to use it in contrasting colours so that one particular shade stands out over the other. This ties perfectly into a strong brand identity that leaves a memorable impression.

We offer our spot UV printing with 2 types of lamination, helping you to draw attention for the right reasons. These are matte lamination and soft touch lamination. You would not want to use a gloss laminated finish with 3d business cards, as it would not be an effective way to make your card stand out.

What sizes are available with Spot Gloss Business cards?

We offer them in either standard size 85mm x 55mm, but we can also offer the gloss finish on 55mm x 55mm square cards. Just get in touch if that is the option if you need. We want to help set you apart for the right reasons whilst creating that intrigue.
