Setting up
Spot UV Business Cards

2. Before starting we recommend
the following:
Use Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator to create artwork
Embed or Outline any fonts in your artwork to avoid issues
All images to be set at 300dpi
Avoid trying to UV Varnish over intricate hairlines
Try not to UV Varnish over small text, nothing below 10pt

3. Step 1:
We require your business card
to be set at the following size
85 x 55mm and add 3mm “bleed”
edge to all sides (this will be cut
off in production but ensures any
background colour is printed right
to the edge of the card)
Once happy, the artwork which
is to be printed now requires
you to create the spot uv part
of the card.
