Simply put, spot UV refers to where you apply a UV Varnish (or Coating) to a specific area of your print.
This can be a clear varnish over an image, logo or text which the user will see glinting when the print is tilted towards the light. It is applied by an additional UV ink tank (clear) on specific areas of the print after the colours have been laid down. The clear "ink" layer is then cured by exposure to a UV lamp.
When spot UV is applied over a matt laminated single colour, text and logos appear as if by magic when the light catches the UV layer.
Matt lamination gives an elegant effect that offers great quality for products where image and first impressions mean everything, which is why it is a common choice for many.
Unlike gloss lamination, matt lamination can provide a softer look, as it can produce lower contrast on darker colours. Whilst forming a protective coating over the print, it does not provide the same level of protection as gloss lamination and can be prone to scratching.
Spot UV business cards are a fantastic way of creating a "wow" impact on first meeting.
Using spot UV on your business cards you can highlight images, logos or text with the shiny clear UV coating that immediately draws attention. You can also use spot UV effectively by printing text or a logo in the clear spot UV varnish overprinting onto a matt laminated single colour background. Looks mustard...
If you're looking for inspiration for a logo or a design, just select from the design options available and we can help you produce your stand out design and integrate spot UV into your business cards.
Would you like to have a pukka business card that's going to create a "wow" impact?
Going for a spot UV business card will create a visual impact on the recipient. Highlighting images, logos and text is a simple and effective way of grabbing the attention of the person receiving your spot uv business card.
Another effective way of using spot UV is to add lettering in the clear UV and overprinting it onto a plain matt laminated background. When you present your card to a new prospective client you will often observe them tilting the card in the light to see the UV effect and "bingo" you know you have made an impression.
