Business cards are widely used as a networking tool and a way to make a good first impression. Our Spot UV with Matte Lamination cards are a sure way to ensure your cards stand out from the rest.
Please submit two PDF files:
1. Regular full color artwork
2. Spot UV template indicating the area of the SPOT UV
On template file, indicate area of SPOT UV by using 100% K. Non UV areas should be white. For best results, ensure this file is vector.
If seeking overall UV coating on one side, ensure that you order SPOT UV coating on two sides; page with overall coating should be indicated so on template file with 100% K taking up entire page
If ordering a 4/4 job with Spot UV on only one side, please ensure that page 1 of your artwork is the spot UV side
Spot UV accuracy
Positioning of the spot UV cannot be 100% guaranteed. Please note that there may be a shift of approximately 1/8" in the spot UV position on the printed product.
Therefore we recommend that the spot UV not be placed on small text or very small images.
We do not recommend extending the spot UV design to the edge of the card, as there would be a high possibility of the varnish peeling off. There should be at least a 5mm varnish-free area around the edges. Failing to provide this could result in delays and/or unexpected print results.
