What is Spot UV?
Spot UV (Ultra Violet) refers to the placement of a glossy coating on specific areas of the card.
Whereas glossy business cards are shiny all over, spot UV business cards are typically printed on non-shiny cardstock like silk. The spot UV gloss is then coated over the silk business card stock on specific parts of the card. The effect makes the glossy or spot UV areas jump off the card, especially when reflecting light. The effect does't change the underlying color, it simply makes it shine.
Where to Add Spot UV to Your Card?
The best place to add spot UV to your business cards is the logo. Most logos are designed to be eye-catching, so embellishing them with spot UV is a natural fit. You could also apply spot UV to the company or contact details, which produces a pseudo raised-letter effect and is extremely cool looking.
Can Spot UV (Ultra Violet) Varnish Business Cards be written on?
Yes they can be written on, but its recommended that a permanet marker or ball point pen is used as other pens tend to smudge easily. Also only area without the Spot UV can be written on.
