Want the front of your card to jump out at people? Add raised, 3D shine to your text, design — or even both.
See details

Add dimension to your design with spot UV business cards.

  • Spots of raised, glossy printing – front only
  • Matte paper stock
  • Great for highlighting logos, names & more
  • Standard or premium thickness
  • 2 corner options

Note: To prevent your gloss from peeling off, make sure it’s only applied within the printing safety area shown in our design studio. For more info, see our FAQ section.

A cut above

With our spot UV business cards, you can add layers of thick, raised gloss to specific parts of your design. The special finish gives text and visuals a can’t-miss shine and 3D texture that stands out against the smooth, matte background. It’s a great option for almost any design as you can use the spot UV finish on up to 75% of your card’s front. (Note: Make sure it’s applied within the template’s safety area.)

Stylish & smart

Spot UV business cards give you a creative, professional look, and point customers towards the most important information and images. Give your company name and contact info a little extra oomph. Emphasise your logo and branding. Or make sure a special offer gets extra attention.

Fast, easy design

You can upload your own design or browse a variety of templates created specifically for spot UV cards (also known as 3D business cards or embossed gloss business cards). Then, you decide where to add the raised, glossy printing. You can go with our default suggestions, but you’ll typically be able to choose almost any part of your design. Plus, you’ll always see a chat option if you need a hand.

Really impressed with the quality

26 Jan 2026 | Gareth H. | Verified Buyer
Just received my new business cards and I’m genuinely impressed. The print quality is sharp the colours are exactly how they looked in the preview and the card feels solid and premium in hand. The spot UV finish really stands out and gives the card a high end feel without being over the top. They arrived quickly and were packaged well too. These cards make a great first impression and I’ll definitely be ordering again.

Not as expected

Premium Quality Business Cards That Truly Stand Out

22 Jan 2026 | Chris B. | Verified Buyer
Absolutely thrilled with my Spot UV Business Cards from Vistaprint! 🌟 The quality is outstanding—the cardstock feels premium and durable, and the Spot UV finish adds a sleek, professional shine that really makes my logo and key details pop. Every time I hand one out, people comment on how impressive they look and feel. It’s that perfect balance of subtle luxury and modern design. Ordering through vistaprint. co. uk was quick and straightforward, with plenty of customisation options to get everything exactly right. Delivery was fast, and the finished cards exceeded my expectations. If you want business cards that stand out and leave a lasting impression, I can’t recommend Vistaprint’s Spot UV cards enough. They look and feel like a high-end product—excellent value for money! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently asked questions

Spot UV printing is a process that puts raised lettering and images on paper to create an eye-catching, three-dimensional effect. With our embossed business cards, you can decide which design elements you want to pop out.

You can only use the special finish on up to 75% of the front of your card — just make sure the spot UV varnish is applied within the printing safety area (shown as a dotted line in our design studio).

Yes, the type of printing we use is also known as embossed gloss. This process actually has a lot of names, so you might see this type of product listed elsewhere as embossed business cards, 3D business cards, spot gloss business cards or raised print business cards.

Our spot UV business cards are made using either 300 gsm standard paper or 360 gsm premium paper.

For now, you can only have the special finish on the front of your 3D-printed card. But we are working towards offering that option at some point in the future. In the meantime, you can get customised printing on the back of your card for an additional fee.

Yes, you can order them with rounded corners or in a square shape.

On our templates, the embossed areas can’t be changed. However, if you upload your own design, you have more freedom to decide which parts are raised. You can do this through our design studio, or you can leave specific directions for our team.
