Question

How much does spot UV printing cost compared to standard printing?

Answer

Spot UV adds a modest premium over a standard matte or gloss finish rather than doubling your cost. The exact upcharge depends on the product, the quantity, and how much of the surface the glossy coating covers.

  • Coverage - a small logo accent costs less than an all-over spot UV pattern
  • Quantity - the per-unit premium shrinks as your order size grows
  • Product - the base item (cards, hangtags, postcards) sets the starting price
  • Raised vs flat spot UV - a raised, dimensional coating carries a slightly higher cost than flat

The pricing page for each spot UV product shows the exact cost at every quantity, so you can weigh the upgrade before you order.
