With our spot UV business cards, you can add layers of thick, raised gloss to specific parts of your design. The special finish gives text and visuals a can’t-miss shine and 3D texture that stands out against the smooth, matte background. It’s a great option for almost any design as you can use the spot UV finish on up to 75% of your card’s front. (Note: Make sure it’s applied within the template’s safety area.)

Stylish & smart

Spot UV business cards give you a creative, professional look, and point customers towards the most important information and images. Give your company name and contact info a little extra oomph. Emphasize your logo and branding. Or make sure a special offer gets extra attention.

Fast, easy design

You can upload your own design or browse a variety of templates created specifically for spot UV cards (also known as 3D business cards or embossed gloss business cards). Then, you decide where to add the raised, glossy printing. You can go with our default suggestions, but you’ll typically be able to choose almost any piece of your design. Plus, you’ll always see a chat option if you need a hand.

Frequently asked questions

Spot UV printing is a process that puts raised lettering and images on paper to create an eye-catching, three-dimensional effect. With our embossed business cards, you can decide which design elements you want to pop out.

You can only use the special finish on up to 75% of the front of your card – just make sure the spot UV varnish is applied within the printing safety area (shown as a dotted line in our design studio).

Yes, the type of printing we use is also known as embossed gloss. This process actually has a lot of names, so you might see this type of product listed elsewhere as embossed business cards, 3D business cards, spot gloss business cards or raised print business cards.

Our spot UV business cards are made using either 300 gsm standard paper or 360 gsm premium paper.

For now, you can only have the special finish on the front of your 3D-printed card. But we are working towards offering that option at some point in the future. In the meantime, you can get customised printing on the back of your card for an additional fee.

Yes, you can order them with rounded corners or in a square shape.

The polymer gloss is 0.05 mm (50 microns) thick.
