Take your business card to the next level with our Spot UV business cards.
When you want to highlight a specific element in your card, whether it's a logo or watermark design, spot uv is the way to go. An ultraviolet coating is applied to the card to create a glossy finish that gleams and reflects light, giving your business card a unique, one of a kind look and multi-textured feel.
Spot UV business cards are more effective when used with the right design on dark backgrounds, which will create enough visual impact to make your cards noticeable and distinctive. Some ideal design elements that spot uv can be applied on include your entire company or personal logo, large typefaces, spots of color, patterned backgrounds, and watermarks. Not recommended are small text or fonts, as the spot uv finish might be too thin to be seen, and in some cases might even shift and not align with the art.

Bleed and Safe Zone Guidelines

To ensure that your design is printed exactly as intended, it's important to understand how bleed and safe zones work in print production.

The bleed area is the portion of your design that extends beyond the final trim size. This extra area (typically 0.125" / 3mm on each side) ensures that there are no white edges after cutting. Make sure that any background colors or images that should go to the edge of the paper extend into this bleed area.

The safe zone is the area inside the trim line where all critical elements—such as logos, text, and important graphics—should be placed. We recommend keeping these elements at least 0.125" / 3mm inside the edge to avoid being cut off during the trimming process.

If you are using a template, be sure to align your content properly within the bleed and safe zones. If you're not sure, our team is here to help you review your file and make sure it's print-ready.

Resolution and Printing Guidelines

For optimal print quality, all artwork should be created at a resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch). This standard ensures that all design elements, including images, logos, and text, appear crisp, clean, and professional in the final printed product.

Avoid using low-resolution images, especially those sourced from websites, as they are typically only 72 DPI and intended for digital screens — not for print. Even if such images look sharp on your monitor, they will most likely appear pixelated, blurry, or distorted when printed at full size.

Important: Simply increasing the size or resolution of a low-quality image using design software will not improve its print quality. Enlarging a low-resolution image only stretches the existing pixels, leading to further image degradation.

We strongly recommend setting your document resolution to 300 DPI from the very beginning of your design process. When working with vector-based files such as AI, PDF, or EPS, make sure any placed or embedded raster images also meet the 300 DPI standard. A single low-resolution element can compromise the overall appearance of your printed material.

If you're unsure whether your file meets the resolution requirements, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are happy to review your file and offer guidance to ensure the best possible print results.

Fonts and Images Guidelines

To avoid font issues during printing, it's essential to convert all text in your artwork to outlines or curves. This ensures that your fonts appear exactly as designed, regardless of the system used during production.

Why it matters: Missing or incompatible fonts can cause layout shifts or incorrect rendering. Outlining prevents this by transforming text into vector shapes.

Do not rely on attaching font files separately. Fonts may be restricted by licensing or get lost during transfer. Always outline your text before exporting.

Likewise, all images should be embedded directly into your file — not linked. Linked images may not be included when the file is transferred, resulting in blank areas in your final print.

Before submitting your file:

1. Make sure all text is outlined.
2. Ensure all placed images are embedded.
3. Double-check your layout for consistency.

If you're unsure how to convert fonts or embed images, follow the software-specific steps below. If you still need help, don't hesitate to contact us — we're happy to assist you.

How to Convert Text to Outlines:

Adobe Illustrator

1. Select all text.
2. Go to Type > Create Outlines (or press Ctrl+Shift+O / Cmd+Shift+O).
3. Save the file as AI or PDF.

Adobe InDesign

1. Export as a high-resolution PDF.
2. Open in Illustrator to outline the text.
3. Or during export, enable Embed all fonts in the PDF settings.

Adobe Photoshop

1. Use 300 DPI canvas.
2. Flatten all text layers.
3. Or right-click text layer > Convert to Shape.

CorelDRAW

1. Select the text.
2. Press Ctrl+Q or go to Arrange > Convert to Curves.

Affinity Designer

1. Select the text object.
2. Go to Layer > Convert to Curves.

How to Embed Images:

Adobe Illustrator

1. Open Window > Links panel.
2. Select the image name.
3. Choose Embed Image from the menu.

Adobe InDesign

1. Go to the Links panel.
2. Select the image > menu icon > Embed Link.
3. When exporting, use High Quality Print preset and check Embed Images.

Adobe Photoshop

Images are embedded by default. If using Smart Objects, right-click and select Convert to Embedded.

CorelDRAW

Use File > Save As and check Include image files, or use File > Prepare for Service Bureau.

Affinity Designer

1. Use File > Place to insert images.
2. Right-click the image > Embed.
3. Check embed status in the Layers panel.

Color

We use the industry-standard CMYK 4-color process for all of our printing. This method blends four base ink colors — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (Key) — to produce a wide spectrum of full-color results.

Please note that we do not support PMS (Pantone Matching System) or Spot color printing. These specialized inks are typically used for exact brand color matching or for printing metallic and fluorescent colors, which are not available through standard CMYK.

If your project requires precise color consistency — such as corporate brand colors or Pantone-specific hues — please be aware that converting these to CMYK may result in slight color shifts.

We recommend requesting a printed proof in advance or contacting us if accurate color matching is critical to your design. We're here to help ensure your print looks its best.

RGB & CMYK Color

All artwork, designs, and images must be provided in CMYK color mode before submission. CMYK — which stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (Key) — is the standard color model used in professional printing.

Files submitted in RGB color mode (typically used for digital screens) may appear significantly different when printed, as RGB colors often fall outside the printable CMYK color gamut.

To ensure color accuracy and consistency, please convert all files to CMYK before exporting or uploading. This includes all embedded images, linked graphics, and raster elements.

If your file is submitted in RGB, we will convert it to CMYK for printing — however, color shifts may occur. We strongly recommend reviewing a soft proof or requesting a printed sample if precise color reproduction is important to your project.
