Spot UV is a special print finish that adds a shiny, glossy coating to selected areas of your design, helping them stand out against the rest of your print. It creates a contrast in texture and finish, adding a premium look to your artwork.
You can use Spot UV to highlight elements such as logos, headings, patterns or key details, making them more eye-catching.
