Question

Can I combine raised spot UV with other finishes like foil or embossing?

Answer

Raised spot UV works best on its own. Stacking it with foil stamping or embossing on the same piece can cause adhesion problems, so most designs are cleaner and more reliable when raised spot UV is the single specialty finish.

  • Best practice: use raised spot UV as a standalone accent on the piece.
  • Avoid: layering it directly over foil or embossed areas.
  • Alternative texture: a glitter finish gives a different eye-catching, sparkly effect if you want something other than gloss.

If you have your heart set on multiple textures, space the finishes apart on the layout so they do not overlap.
