The simplest way is by creating your artwork as normal and saving it out as a PDF. Then delete any elements you don’t want to have Spot UV, leaving elements you do want as Spot UV. Save this with the file title of _SpotUV.
If you want any additional Spot UV elements that are not part of your artwork (such as a repeating pattern to create a textured background), you can add these into the _SpotUV file now.
Once you’re happy with your Spot UV elements, change them all to the same fill colour, then export this as a PDF, ensuring ‘_SpotUV’ is in the filename. This file should just contain the text and shapes you want to have Spot UV finishing on.
Or, use our free Spot UV business card templates here.
Our team is happy to set your spot UV artwork up for free. Simply place an order without uploading artwork, then send your design to us at artwork@instantprint.co.uk letting us know where you'd like the spot UV to go.
