Question
Can raised spot UV be applied to sticker stock?
Answer
Raised spot UV is a specialty finish suited to premium card stocks rather than sticker stock. It shines on surfaces like business cards, postcards, greeting cards, and hang tags, where the raised gloss sits against a matte or soft-touch background.
- Why not stickers: sticker and label materials use different coatings and adhesives that are not built for a raised UV layer.
- Better for a glossy sticker look: high-gloss vinyl and similar finishes give shine and dimension on stickers.
- Rule of thumb: reserve raised spot UV for rigid card stock, and choose gloss or specialty sticker finishes for labels.
