Spot UV Finish

Spot UV Printing

A glossy, raised varnish applied to specific parts of a design for contrast and texture.

Spot UV applies a glossy varnish to specific parts of a design, creating contrast against a matt background and a subtle raised texture you can feel as well as see. We apply spot UV to business cards, folders and other stationery to highlight a logo or key detail.

  • Business cards – highlighting a logo or detail against a matt finish
  • Presentation folders – adding contrast to covers
  • Raised spot UV – for extra texture, or standard flat spot UV for a subtle gloss contrast

Why it matters

Spot UV draws the eye through contrast — a glossy logo against a matt card catches light differently and reads as more considered than a flat, uniform finish.

FAQs

What is the difference between spot UV and gloss lamination?

Gloss lamination covers the whole surface; spot UV is applied only to specific areas of the design for contrast against a matt background.

Can spot UV be raised for extra texture?

Yes, raised spot UV adds a noticeable texture, while standard spot UV gives a flatter gloss contrast.
