Make your brand impossible to ignore with our 3D Spot UV Business Cards — a premium finish that combines bold full-colour print with a raised, tactile gloss varnish applied to your chosen design elements.

Printed on extra-heavy 450gsm silk card and finished with a Soft Touch Laminate on both sides, the contrast between the smooth velvet base and the raised, glossy spot UV creates a striking visual and tactile effect. Apply it to your logo, a key graphic, or a pattern — the result is a business card that demands to be touched and talked about.

We use Scodix spot UV technology for a true high-build, three-dimensional finish — not a flat UV varnish, but a genuinely raised coating you can feel with your fingertip. Choose one side or both sides. Order from 100 copies, with a typical turnaround of 5 working days.

Who is this for?

Our Spot UV cards are popular with creative agencies, luxury brands, financial services firms, law firms, and anyone who wants their card to do the selling for them. They're also a firm favourite with exhibitors and networkers who want to stand out at events and trade shows.

Artwork Note

Spot UV cards require two artwork files: your standard print-ready PDF, plus a separate spot UV layer showing the areas where the raised varnish should be applied (spot uv areas supplied as solid black area on their own).

If you need any help with this, our artwork team can create this for you where possible. Please contact us for artwork fix pricing before placing your order.

What is Scodix Spot UV and how is it different from standard spot UV?

Scodix is a premium digital embellishment process that builds up a raised, three-dimensional varnish on the printed surface. Unlike flat spot UV varnish used by most printers, Scodix creates a genuinely tactile, raised finish you can feel. It's a more sophisticated and durable result.

How do I supply artwork for Spot UV Business Cards?

You'll need two files: your standard print-ready PDF, and a separate black and white PDF showing the spot UV areas. Contact us before submitting and our team will advise if your file is suitable for print.

Can Spot UV be applied to both sides of the card?

Yes — choose either one side or both sides when selecting your options. Applying to both sides increases the price slightly but creates an even more premium, fully finished result.

How long do Spot UV Business Cards take to print?

Our Scodix-finished cards take 5 working days due to the specialist finishing process. If you have a deadline, contact us in advance and we'll do our best to help.

What's the difference between Spot UV and Foil Business Cards?

Both use Scodix technology for a raised, tactile finish. Spot UV uses a clear gloss varnish for a shiny, dimensional effect. Foil uses metallic gold or silver foil for a more decorative, luxurious appearance. Both are applied to specific elements — your logo, a pattern, or a brand mark.
