A close look at how Raised Spot UV catches the light — the same clear, raised gloss we can add to your cards and prints.

What is Raised Spot UV?

It's a clear, high-gloss coating applied to specific areas of your design — a logo, headline, pattern or icon — then cured so it sits raised above the surface. Set against a soft matte background, it creates contrast you can both see and feel. One card, two textures, zero forgettable.

Where it shines

Business cards

The classic. A matte card with a raised, glossy logo feels instantly high-end.

Postcards & invites

Make a headline or monogram pop off the page and beg to be touched.

Folders & rack cards

Add a premium, tactile layer to presentation and sales materials.

Why it works

It gets touched
  • Raised texture invites a thumb across it
  • Touch builds memory — and keeps the card
  • Signals quality before a word is read
It gets noticed
  • Gloss-on-matte contrast catches light
  • Draws the eye straight to your logo or offer
  • Looks custom, not off-the-shelf
