Spot UV Business Cards from Headline Printers in Havant
Spot UV – Business Cards that Mean Business!
Looking for luxury high end business cards? Then look no further than our Spot UV Business Cards! These cards add a burst of vibrance to any design! This can be a very valuable addition for important information.
Use the spot UV for logos or pertinent information so that it stands out, not just in colour but also in texture. This won’t be a card that is destined for the drawer, this is the sort of card people keep out on their desks and have their designers copy when it’s time to have a new run of cards printed up.
There is a little science behind the magic when it comes to this type of printing.
To create the Spot UV visual effect, an ultraviolet gloss coating is applied to a sturdy 450gsm matt laminated business card. This provides that signature glossy finish to targeted areas on the card. Spot varnish is best suited to large patterned or solid areas as this has a greater impact on the overall design.
These are top of the range customised business cards that require a little more design prep than a classic printed business card.
Choose from single or double-sided printing, with a single or double-sided spot varnish to suit.

Exceptional! I had to print my Portfolio that I was still working on right until the last minute of my deadline before my job interview. Gary was in constant communication, on the ball, empathetic and helpful in a stressful time. A true hero! Highly recommend. I will definitely use again.
