Frequently asked questions
What lamination options are available for these business cards?
You can choose between soft touch lamination (19pt) or matte lamination (18pt). Both options provide a protective layer and a premium feel.
How should I prepare my spot UV template file?
Submit two PDF files: one with full color artwork and one spot UV template. On the template file, use 100% K to indicate spot UV areas and white for non-UV areas. Vector format is recommended for best results.
What is the accuracy of the spot UV positioning?
Spot UV positioning cannot be 100% guaranteed. There may be a shift of approximately 1/16 inch in the spot UV position on the printed product. Avoid placing spot UV on small text or very small images.
What are the file preparation requirements for these cards?
Files must be created in CMYK at 300 dpi with 1/16 inch bleeds on all sides. All images should be embedded, all text outlined, and files exported as PDF format with bleeds.
Is there a recommended safe area for spot UV near the edges?
Yes, there should be at least a 5mm spot UV-free area around the edges to prevent peeling along trimmed edges. Full bleed spot UV designs are not recommended as they may lift or peel.
