Your business card says a lot about you and your brand. That's why you should never compromise on their total quality. Remember, if they're sloppy, people will think your whole brand or company is sloppy. In other words, those cards aren't only for distributing your contact information. They also help you build your brand, which is why you need to be particular about what type of cards you're using.

 

If you've been planning to have a new set of business cards printed, you might want to explore UV printing. Spot UV Spot-printed cards are those which have specific areas highlighted with the spot UV effect, which is basically embossing and glossifying. This trick is great for giving your cards a bit of extra pizzazz while maintaining a sleek and professional overall appeal. The technique is just perfect for logos or other things that go into a business card, like your name, title and contact information.

 

Aside from embossing and glossifying, there are many other finishing varieties available with UV spot-printed business cards. For instance, unlike many other types, these cards can come double-sided and in full color, giving you more options for personalization. Obviously, this allows your brand to stand out since you have more freedom to make a design that most accurately reflects your business and the image that you want to be known for in the market. These cards also come in a number of shape options, like single or multi-round corners, or plain pointed corners. For even greater customization, you can pick from other finishing options like hot foil or debossing.

 

To get the best quality product, you have to use a card that is has a density of at least 400 gsm (grams per meter). If you are hiring a good printer to prepare your cards, expect to be advised against 100% spot UV card printing. The reason is covering an entire page with spot UV printing practically negates the technique's purpose, which is to emphasize important elements on the card. 

 

There are many providers of Spot Gloss Business Cards printing services today. If you scan online, you will find so many companies out there, but that doesn't mean they are all the same. Always do your research before deciding on a particular printer. Read online reviews or better yet, ask your friends, relatives or colleagues if they know of a company they can recommend. Because this printing approach requires an intricate process, turnaround time for printing and delivery is often longer than usual. However, generally speaking, six days is realistic but nonetheless well worth the wait.
