Spot UV needs two files

Your artwork: the full design in color.
Your spot UV file: the same size, solid 100% black where the gloss goes and white everywhere else, for the front.
Keep it 0.2 in (5 mm) inside the trim line. Spot UV can shift about 1/16 in, so skip small text.

Spot UV is a clear, glossy coat printed only where you want it. On a matte card the contrast is the whole effect: the logo shines, the rest stays soft. It is the easiest way to make a card feel expensive without changing the design.

How to set up the spot UV

Send two files. The first is your artwork in full color, your card size plus the 1/8 in bleed on every edge. The second is the spot UV file: the same size, solid 100% black where the gloss goes and white everywhere else, with a page for each side that gets spot UV. Keep the gloss at least 0.2 in (5 mm) inside the trim line, and keep it off small text: spot UV can shift about 1/16 in. The File setup tab shows it step by step, and we check both files before anything prints.
