Question

What is Spot UV and how does it affect my order?

Answer

Spot UV is a glossy, ultra-smooth coating applied to specific areas of a design so those spots catch the light and stand out against the rest of the piece.

  • Business cards
  • Postcards
  • Presentation folders
  • Premium covers and packaging

It works best on coated or laminated stock, since uncoated paper cannot hold the coating. Choosing spot UV can affect which paper you can use, the turnaround, and the minimum quantity, so it is worth planning around from the start.
