Raised spot UV business cards are for brands that want people to feel the difference. This is one of the most high-impact upgrades you can make because it combines a premium matte surface with raised glossy accents that catch light and add texture. The result: a card that looks sharp, feels expensive, and gets kept instead of tossed. At printshaQ, we focus on crisp edges, clean registration, and a raised finish that looks refined (not messy).

What are Raised Spot UV business cards?

Raised spot UV is a premium finishing process where a thick, glossy UV coating is applied to specific areas of your design (usually your logo, name, or key graphics) and built up to create a noticeable raised texture. Think of it as the upgraded version of spot UV business cards — but with real tactile “wow” you can feel instantly.

Why Raised Spot UV works

Maximum tactile impact: people touch it, notice it, and remember it
Premium contrast: raised gloss accents on matte feels modern and high-end
Guides attention: highlights your logo and key elements automatically
Perfect for minimalist design: simple layouts look expensive with raised UV

Upgrade the finish (best pairings)

Raised spot UV already hits hard, but pairing it with another premium feature can push it into true “luxury card” territory:

Foil Stamped Business Cards – for shine + texture (a powerful premium combo)
Embossed Business Cards – for dimensional depth with a refined, understated feel
Die Cut Business Cards – for a custom shape that stands out before they even read it

Design tips for Raised Spot UV (so it looks clean and premium)

Use bold shapes: raised UV looks best on clean logos and thicker elements
Avoid micro-details: tiny text and hairline strokes can lose definition when raised
Let it breathe: whitespace makes raised UV feel more expensive
Highlight key elements only: the best designs use restraint, not coverage
Use vector artwork: crisp edges = crisp raised coating

Raised Spot UV Business Cards FAQ

What’s the difference between Raised Spot UV and Spot UV?

Spot UV is glossy and smooth. Raised spot UV is glossy and textured — the coating is thicker and physically raised. If you want the biggest tactile “wow,” raised spot UV is the upgrade.

Does raised UV work on small text?

It can, but it’s not always the best use of the finish. Ultra-small type and hairline strokes may lose crispness when raised. Raised UV looks best on logos, icons, and bold design elements.

Will the raised UV scratch?

Raised UV is designed to be durable, but like any premium finish it should be handled with care. Keeping raised areas intentional (not covering the entire card) helps maintain a clean look long-term.

What kind of artwork is best for raised spot UV?

Vector artwork (AI, PDF, EPS) is ideal so the raised UV layer is sharp and accurate. If you’re unsure your file is set up correctly, contact us and we’ll help.

Is raised spot UV worth it?

If first impressions matter to your business, raised spot UV is one of the highest-impact upgrades you can make. It’s modern, premium, and consistently impressive in person.

Can raised spot UV be combined with other finishes?

Yes. It pairs especially well with foil stamping, embossing, and die cutting — depending on whether you want more shine, more texture, or a unique shape.
