Spot UV Business Cards, in short.
Spot UV is a clear gloss printed on only the parts you choose. Against matte lamination, a logo or a pattern in spot UV catches the light; raised UV also stands up from the card so you can feel it.

Spot UV Business Cards, explained.
What to know before you order.
Which cards can have spot UV?
Laminated Business Cards. 13pt takes flat UV; 15pt and 32pt take raised UV.
How is spot UV priced?
By side: each side is one price, however many areas it covers. Both sides cost twice one side. The price per card falls as the quantity goes up.
How long does it take?
Cards with spot UV take 5–7 business days to make, plus shipping.
Does spot UV work on gloss lamination?
Flat UV doesn’t show on gloss film, so it needs matte; the card switches to matte with one click. Raised UV goes on either.
Will you check my design before printing?
Yes. We check every file before it’s printed. If something needs fixing, we contact you before we print.
Can I order different papers or sizes together?
Add them as separate items; each design in one item shares the same options.
