Make It Pop: How Spot UV Varnish Can Elevate Your Print
In a world flooded with print materials, standing out isn’t just about bold colours or clever copy — it’s also about texture and finish. One of the most impactful ways to add sophistication and dimension to your print project is with Spot UV varnish.
At NextPrint, we help businesses bring a premium feel to their print with specialty finishes that leave a lasting impression. Spot UV is one of our favourites — and here’s why it should be on your radar.
What is Spot UV?
Spot UV varnish is a high-gloss coating applied only to specific areas (“spots”) of your printed piece — such as a logo, headline, or image — to make them stand out. Unlike matte or uncoated finishes, Spot UV creates a striking contrast by adding shine and texture to select design elements.
Why Use Spot UV?
✨ Visual Impact
Spot UV catches the light and the eye. It adds a luxurious shine to key areas, drawing attention to what matters most — be it a brand name, image, or call-to-action.
🖐️ Tactile Appeal
It’s not just what you see, it’s what you feel. Spot UV adds a smooth, raised texture that makes your print feel more premium and engaging.
🎯 Brand Elevation
Used selectively, Spot UV can reinforce your brand’s sophistication and attention to detail — ideal for business cards, brochures, packaging, or high-end invitations.
📏 Versatility
Spot UV pairs beautifully with matte finishes or soft-touch lamination, creating a contrast that’s both subtle and impactful.
Best Uses for Spot UV
Spot UV is ideal for:
-
Business Cards: Highlight your logo or name for a powerful first impression.
-
Presentation Folders: Add polish to corporate materials.
-
Luxury Invitations: Perfect for events where details matter.
