Question
What is Raised Spot UV and how does it differ from regular printing?
Answer
Raised Spot UV is a specialty finishing technique that builds up a clear, glossy layer over specific parts of your design, creating a texture you can actually feel. Standard printing, by contrast, sits flat on the surface.
- It is applied only to chosen areas, such as a logo, headline, or pattern.
- Running a finger over the treated area reveals a raised, tactile ridge.
- The gloss contrasts with the surrounding matte or uncoated areas for extra emphasis.
If you want this effect, note it with your project so it can be specified correctly.
