Question
What exactly is spot UV coating?
Answer
Spot UV is a clear, glossy varnish applied to specific areas of a printed piece rather than across the whole surface. That selective coverage is what creates its signature look: a shiny, slightly raised detail that contrasts with the matte areas around it.
- Selective gloss: only the areas you choose get the shiny coating.
- Tactile contrast: the coated spots feel slightly raised against the matte base.
- Great for: highlighting logos, images, or patterns.
The result is an eye-catching detail that draws attention to the exact elements you want people to notice first.
