What Are Raised Spot UV Greeting Cards

Spot UV is a clear gloss printed only where you choose, and raised means it is built up so it stands above the card. A logo, a name, a snowflake or a border can carry the gloss, and light catches it while the rest of the card stays matte. For flat spot UV on a silk laminated gloss cover, see Spot UV Coated Greeting Cards; this version is the raised, soft-touch one.

What Size Are Raised Spot UV Greeting Cards

Folded, the one size fits a standard A7 envelope. Set your artwork on the flat layout and keep the raised gloss away from the fold.

Two ways to get the artwork right the first time.

Start from a greeting card layout

Pick one idea for the gloss and let the velvet carry the rest. Start from a layout in our greeting card design templates, change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor, then choose which element to lift into raised gloss.

Grab a press-ready blank

For art built outside the editor, use the raised spot UV greeting card template. It is drawn at the real 10" x 7" flat size with the fold line, 1/8" bleed and safe margin marked, so nothing crosses the score or the cut. Place your art, mark where the raised gloss goes and upload.
