Raised Spot UV is a premium printing finish that applies a thick, glossy, transparent coating to selected areas of a printed design, creating a raised, three-dimensional texture that you can see and feel.
It is commonly used on business cards, postcards, presentation folders, packaging, and other premium printed materials.
How Does Raised Spot UV Work?
Printing: The design is printed on the paper or cardstock.
Base coating: A matte or soft-touch laminate is typically applied to create a smooth background.
UV application: A clear, thick UV coating is applied only to selected elements, such as text, logos, or patterns.
UV curing: Ultraviolet light instantly hardens the coating, forming a glossy, raised surface.
The result is a striking contrast between the smooth background and the raised, shiny design elements.
