Velvet + Raised Spot UV Business Cards – Soft-Touch Luxury with 3D Shine

Make a bold impression with our Velvet + Raised Spot UV Business Cards, offering a plush, velvet-like soft-touch finish accented by raised glossy UV areas that you can feel and see. These tactile cards exude elegance and standout quality.

Why Choose Our Velvet + Raised Spot UV Business Cards?

• Luxurious Velvet Lamination – Double-sided soft-touch velvet gives a rich, tactile feel on 16 pt stock, enhancing brand perception.

• Eye-Catching Raised UV Accents – Highlight logos, text, or graphics with three-dimensional gloss that adds both touch and visual depth.

• Strong Contrast & Texture – The tactile raised UV shines beautifully against the matte velvet backdrop for a sophisticated effect.

• Premium Durability – The combination of lamination and raised UV ensures cards withstand handling while preserving texture and appearance.

Design Best Practices

1. Include a Raised Spot UV Mask File – Submit a separate vector mask (100% black = UV, white = none) to indicate raised UV areas—no shadows or gradients.

2. Limit UV Coverage – Keep raised UV to a maximum of 20–30% of the design to maintain print quality and tactile consistency.

3. Avoid Folding or Small Text on UV Areas – Raised UV adds thickness; avoid applying it over folds or delicate text.

4. Provide UV and Design Layout Separately – Keep artwork and raised UV zones on distinct layers/files to prevent confusion in prepress.

5. Design for Tactile Impact – Use bold, simple shapes for UV zones to maximize both tactile feel and visual contrast.

How Should I Set Up This Job?

When ordering Velvet + Raised Spot UV Business Cards, please submit:

• Print File – Your full-color artwork only (no UV data).

• Raised Spot UV Mask File – A separate vector file (100% K black = where UV should be applied, white = none).

• Note: Use vector tools like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW to create mask files for clarity and accuracy.

This ensures the raised UV appears exactly where intended, with both design clarity and tactile perfection.
