With our spot UV business cards, you can add layers of thick, raised gloss to specific parts of your design. The special finish gives text and visuals a can’t-miss shine and 3D texture that stands out against the smooth, matte background. It’s a great option for almost any design as you can use the spot UV finish on up to 75% of your card’s front. (Note: Make sure it’s applied within the template’s safety area.)
Stylish & smart
Spot UV business cards give you a creative, professional look, and point customers towards the most important information and images. Give your company name and contact info a little extra oomph. Emphasise your logo and branding. Or make sure a special offer gets extra attention.
Fast, easy design

Then, you decide where to add the raised, glossy printing. You can go with our default suggestions, but you’ll typically be able to choose almost any part of your design. Plus, you’ll always see a chat option if you need a hand.

For now, you can only have the special finish on the front of your 3D-printed card. But we are working towards offering that option at some point in the future. In the meantime, you can get customised printing on the back of your card for an additional fee.
