Spot UV Gloss Business Cards
Elevate Your Image with Raised Spot UV
When our 16pt Suede cards were introduced with the Raised Spot UV option, they were instantly a big hit. The card reconnects us to the “touchy-feely” world of textures and new combinations of materials. It is the perfect combination of something familiar with something new. This card has a true visual impact.
The feel of the RAISED UV enhances an already visually beautiful suede card. See what happens when these two wonderfully different textures come together.
Your customers will be delighted by the bright shiny details that rise from the velvety smooth suede card foundation. The unique balance of a 16pt Velvet Laminated card highlighted by Spot Gloss with a Height of 50 Microns, creates a tactile and visual experience that customers can feel and see.
Raised Spot UV jobs are set up the same way as Spot UV jobs. When creating a Raised Spot UV job, you must include a Raised Spot UV mask file along with the regular print file.
Please note, the mask file must be vector art created in vector-based programs such as Illustrator.
The Raised Spot UV mask file is used to show where the UV coating needs to be applied.
Please only use solid 100% K (C 0%, M 0%, Y 0%, K 100%) to indicate where you would like the UV. Do not use shadows, glows or grayscale images. White will indicate no UV.
It is recommended that you do not use smaller than 6pt font on the Raised Spot UV Artwork. If, however, you use fonts with thicker strokes, it is recommended that you do not use smaller than 9pt font.
For best results, please make sure that UV coverage is less than 30%. Otherwise, the cards will be stuck together and become a block of cards. Also, The mask file must be a vector art created in a vector-based program such as Illustrator. Otherwise, you won’t have sharp edges on the artwork.
Up to 70% coverage is acceptable only with patterns, thin strokes or small shapes. Ideally, the size of the area, shape or image covered with raised foil should not exceed 1in x 1in. Many people thinks that just the women are the ones that suffers stretch marks, but that is not true stretch marks for men can be serous problem that really affect them.
Silky Smooth Business Cards
Business cards are an extremely important part of showing the world who you are and what you represent, so it is rather surprising that so many professional businessmen and woman still use extremely plain and boring business cards. In an age where first impressions are everything, do you really want to hand someone a business card that they’ve more or less already seen a few hundred times, or do you want to give them something unique that makes it far more likely that they actually remember you when they’re scanning in all these business cards at the end of the day, something that reminds them of you.
If you’d rather be remembered, silk business cards are a fantastic alternative to the standard run of the mill business card. Of course, becoming more memorable is not the only advantage provided by silk business cards. These business cards are also far more resistant to tears, folds, and creases, keeping your business cards looking as professional as they can no matter what they’ve gone through. Even water will find it hard to damage these cards, as they are far more water resistant than a standard business card. Of course, that isn’t to say you should go dunking them in water, but a little rain should not ruin their professional look.
Another problem that many people have with standard business cards is that they simply do not last as long as they would like. Sure, at some point you have to replace a business card because some information has changed, perhaps your job title or even your place of employment, but for the cards to become unreadable or just “well worn” before you reach that point is silly. People buy these cards in massive quantities, and for such a huge number of them to go to waste is pointless. Silk business cards, on the other hand, usually outlast the job title written on them, as their design prevents them from wearing down anywhere near as easily as standard business cards.
For those people who really like to stand out, there are also options available to add spot gloss and foil effects to the business cards. While there is no functional difference added with these layers, it makes the business cards even more unique than they already are, making you even more memorable.
