Description
Raised Spot Gloss Business Cards
Raised Spot Gloss Business Cards are a premium 3D upgrade that adds a high-build gloss layer you can see and feel. This finish is designed to create instant contrast and tactile impact—perfect for brands that want their business card to feel as high-end as it looks.
If you like the idea of spot UV business cards but want even more dimension, raised spot gloss takes that same concept and elevates it with a thicker, textured gloss effect that rises off the surface.
What Is Raised Spot Gloss?
Raised spot gloss is a specialty UV coating applied to specific areas of your artwork—logos, text, patterns, or accents. Unlike traditional flat gloss, this coating is built up to create a noticeable 3D texture. The result is a finish that catches light, adds depth, and makes people instinctively run their fingers across the design.
For metallic shine instead of gloss contrast, explore our foil stamped business cards. For raised texture without gloss, consider embossed business cards as an alternative premium option.

Why Choose Raised Spot Gloss Business Cards?
When your goal is to be remembered, raised gloss delivers. It’s for brands that want more than flat print—it's for people who want their identity to be felt. Whether you’re meeting a high-value client, attending a networking event, or building a luxury brand, these cards communicate confidence through touch.
For even more differentiation, consider pairing this finish with a custom shape using our die cut business cards, or browse our full range of custom business cards to compare premium options.
Artwork & File Setup
To apply raised gloss correctly, you’ll need a separate black-and-white template that indicates where the gloss should go. Use 100% black (C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=100) to mark raised gloss areas. This allows for crisp placement and clean edges.
We recommend high-resolution PDF files with outlined fonts. We also accept JPG, JPEG, PSD, TIF, TIFF, EPS, AI, and PNG. Artwork should be at least 300 DPI and built in CMYK color mode for accurate print results.
