What is Spot UV? A Glossy Highlight for Premium Print Finishing
Elevate Your Printed Materials with a Touch of Shine
Spot UV is a high-gloss coating applied selectively to areas of your printed material—such as text, logos, or images—to create a striking contrast with the matte or uncoated surface beneath. This premium print finishing technique instantly grabs attention and adds a layer of tactile and visual appeal that sets your brand apart.
Whether you're designing luxurious business cards, premium packaging, or elegant brochures, Spot UV adds that “wow” factor that customers remember.
