What is spot UV?

Spot UV is a clear, glossy coating applied to specific design areas to create tactile and visual contrast. You typically use it over a matte lamination, where the shiny selected elements stand out against the dull background. This technique adds a premium, professional feel to business cards without using extra ink colors. The coating is cured with ultraviolet light, resulting in a durable, high-sheen finish on logos, text, or graphic details. It is a standard finishing option for adding depth and texture to printed materials.
