What are Spot UV business cards?
Spot UV (sometimes called spot gloss or embossed gloss) adds a clear, glossy, slightly raised coating over chosen parts of your design — your logo, a name or a pattern — against an otherwise smooth matte card. The result catches the light and invites a second touch. It is the detail that makes a card feel expensive the moment it is handed over.
Who they are for
- Premium & luxury brands — estate agents, jewellers, stylists, photographers.
- Anyone wanting to stand out at networking events where every card is competing for attention.
- Designers & studios using the gloss to highlight a mark or monogram.
How to use the effect well
Spot UV works best with contrast — a glossy element on a matte background, or gloss over a dark colour so it catches the light. Use it on one or two elements, not the whole card; restraint is what makes it feel premium.
What affects the price?
- Quantity — the specialist coating means these start higher than standard cards, but the per-card price still drops sharply with volume.
- Size — standard 85 x 55 mm is included; the 65 x 65 mm square adds a little.
- Corners — square is standard; rounded corners add a small charge.
Our tip
On your free design proof, check exactly which elements carry the gloss — the effect is subtle on screen but unmistakable in the hand, so it is worth getting the placement right.
