Question

Can I use both matte and glossy on the same brochure?

Answer

Yes. Spot UV coating lets you lay a glossy finish over specific areas while the rest of the brochure stays matte. That contrast between shiny and flat draws the eye exactly where you want it.

  • How it works: gloss is applied only to chosen elements like photos or a logo
  • The effect: tactile and visual contrast against the surrounding matte surface
  • Best uses: highlighting a logo, headline or a key product image
  • Design tip: supply a separate spot UV layer so the coating lands precisely
