Question

What type of files do you accept for Spot UV Postcards?

Answer

For Spot UV Postcards, a print-ready PDF is the preferred format, and several other common formats are accepted. Because Spot UV is a special effect, you also need a separate Black Mask file to map where the gloss goes.

Send your main artwork plus a Black Mask file that marks the Spot UV areas, all built at full print resolution with proper bleed so the postcards trim clean.
