Spot UV Business Cards

Make Your Business Cards Stand Out

Dare to be bold with our UV business card printing. This process makes key details of your design shine brighter than the rest of the business card. This is done through spot UV, a special high-gloss coating that’s applied to key areas you specify.

You can make logos, text, and other important details shiny and reflective. These are ideal for promoting high-end products and services.

What coating do you use?

You have two options: a matte or glossy cardstock. Only when the business card design has been printed on the paper material will spot UV be applied to the areas you selected.

You can’t go wrong either way but for maximum effect, go for the matte option. Our matte cardstocks pair well with the spot UV spectacular shine.

What’s the most popular business card size?

Our most popular size is 2” x 3.5”, which is also the standard business card size.

However, we do have other UV business card printing size options: 1.5" x 3.5", 1.75" x 3.5", 2" x 4", 2.125" x 3.375", and 2.5" x 2.5".
