Raised Spot UV Business Cards
Take your brand identity into the third dimension. Our Raised Spot UV Business Cards utilize state-of-the-art digital embellishment technology to apply a clear, high-build polymer over selected design elements. Unlike traditional flat UV coating, our "Raised" process creates a 3D tactile effect with a significant micron-height increase, adding both physical volume and a brilliant high-gloss contrast to your cards.
Engineered on a foundation of 18pt. premium Soft touch or silk-laminated stock, the juxtaposition between the ultra-matte base and the raised gloss accents creates a sophisticated light-reflective profile. This technical finish is not only visually striking but also increases the structural durability and scuff resistance of your most critical brand assets.
Technical Embellishment Specifications
- 3D Gloss Volume: High-build polymer deposition that creates a palpable, raised texture (up to 50 microns) for maximum tactile impact.
- Selective Gloss Mapping: Precise registration allows for highlighting specific logos, patterns, or typography with surgical accuracy.
- Matte Laminate Foundation: Every card is finished with a premium soft touch or silk-matte lamination, providing a tear-resistant, water-resistant, and velvet-smooth base that makes the Spot UV "pop."
- High Contrast Ratio: Achieve a 100% gloss level on targeted areas against a 0% glare matte background for extreme visual hierarchy.
Why Raised Spot UV?
- Architectural Tactility: A premium "3D feel" that encourages recipients to touch and engage with your card longer.
- Industrial Durability: The raised polymer acts as a protective layer, ensuring your key brand elements remain vibrant and intact.
- Premium Brand Positioning: Ideal for luxury real estate, executive consulting, and high-end creative agencies in Canada looking for a competitive edge.
- Precision Registration: Advanced sensory alignment technology ensures the UV layer sits perfectly atop your printed CMYK graphics.
Design Guidelines for Production
- Mask File Requirement: Please provide a separate vector file (100% K) to indicate the Raised Spot UV areas.
- Minimum Detail: For optimal elevation, we recommend a minimum stroke weight of 0.5pt.
- Stock Compatibility: Best paired with our Silk or Suede lamination for the ultimate matte-vs-gloss contrast.
Manufacturing Standards
- Print Compatibility: Optimized for high-resolution dry toner and offset lithography.
- Precision Trimming: Industrial-grade hydraulic cutting for burr-free, sharp edges.
- Sustainability: 100% Recyclable and sourced from sustainable North American forests.
- Color Profile: Calibrated for CMYK color consistency across all natural fiber types.
Specifications
