Spot UV Cards

Spot UV business cards incorporate a glossy and raised coating in specific areas of the card, creating a striking contrast between matte and shiny surfaces. This technique involves applying a clear and glossy varnish to selected parts of the card, enhancing the visual appeal and adding a tactile dimension to the design.
