Spot Coating Guide｜Gloss Finishes for Professional Print Design (Printing tips)

✨ The Secret to Making Your Design Shine: Spot UV

Some details in design deserve to be seen—and spot UV is the perfect finishing technique to make them stand out.

By applying a glossy coating to specific areas of your print—such as logos, titles, graphics, or key visuals—spot UV enhances both texture and depth, creating a premium, eye-catching effect.

Commonly used on business cards, invitations, book covers, packaging, and brochures, spot UV is a favorite among graphic designers for adding that extra visual punch.

We currently offer two types of spot UV finishing to suit your project needs:

🔹 Traditional Screen Spot UV

Ideal for large-volume production. Requires a printing plate, offering high stability and lower unit costs as quantities increase—perfect for bulk orders.

🔹 Digital Spot UV

No plates needed, perfect for small batches or customized prints. Fast turnaround with integrated printing and finishing—great for short-run or variable designs.

Design is the extension of creativity.

Print finishing is what brings that creativity to life.
