Spot UV Benefits
Spot UV Coating | Selective High-Gloss Accents
Spot UV applies a glossy coating to specific areas of your packaging, creating stunning contrast against matte backgrounds. This technique draws attention to logos, text, or design elements.
Design Applications
- Highlight logos and brand names
- Accent specific design elements
- Create texture and depth
- Add sophistication to packaging
Best Practices
Spot UV works best when combined with matte lamination. The contrast between the matte background and glossy highlights creates a premium, tactile experience.
Strategic Shine
Spot UV applies high-gloss coating to specific areas of packaging rather than the entire surface. This selective application creates dramatic contrast between glossy and matte areas, drawing attention to logos, images, or design elements you want to emphasize.
The Art of Contrast
Spot UV is most effective over matte or soft-touch lamination. The contrast between velvety matte background and brilliant glossy accents creates sophisticated visual depth. Logos shimmer, images pop, and text gains prominence through strategic gloss placement.
