Can postcards have a matte finish with spot UV treatment?
No. Spot UV cannot be applied over a matte finish. Spot UV is a glossy raised coating placed on specific areas of the card, and it needs a compatible base finish to bond and stand out, so it is offered on other finishes rather than matte.
- Spot UV adds a shiny, tactile accent to chosen areas of the design.
- It is not compatible with a matte finish.
- It works with the other finishes offered for postcards.
If you want that glossy contrast, choose a compatible base finish when you build your order. To confirm the exact pairing for your card, check the product page or contact support. Options and turnaround can vary by product and may change, so confirm the latest details on the product page or with 4OVER4 support.
