Can I add spot UV to silk cards?

Yes, and pairing spot UV with silk lamination is one of the most striking combinations in card printing. The soft silk surface acts as the perfect backdrop for sharp, glossy highlights.

• The effect: shiny, slightly raised UV areas contrast against the matte-soft silk around them.
• Where to use it: logos, names, icons, or a single word you want the eye to catch first.
• Design setup: mark the UV areas on a separate layer or spot color so the press knows exactly where the gloss goes.
• Keep it selective: spot UV works because it is spot, so highlight a few elements rather than large fields.
