Will my design look good with spot UV?

Spot UV works especially well on logos and large text (10 pt. fonts or larger). If you want to take full advantage of the glossy effect, consider making sure the text or image uses a high-contrast colour. If you’re using smaller text or have a monochromatic design, you may want to consider another option.

What’s the difference between paper thicknesses? Should I choose a standard or premium paper for my spot UV business cards?

Our spot UV cards come in two matte paper weights – standard (300 gsm) and premium (360 gsm). Standard matte cards have a silk-coated front and back, while premium cards have a special matte varnish on the front side. We typically recommend standard matte cards for high-volume distribution – trade shows, events or package inserts. For smaller-scale use, we’d recommend our premium paper.

Can I get rounded corners?

Yes. When you select our standard shape, you can choose between our 90-degree standard corners or 6 mm rounded corners.

Can I print on the back of my card?

Yes. You can with our one or two-sided printing options. Please note that spot UV can only be applied to the front.

How thick is the spot UV coating?

The polymer gloss is 0.05 mm (50 microns) thick.
