What is Raised Spot UV?
Raised Spot UV is a printing technique of adding special effects to labels using a glossy coating on printed labels. Spot UV is sometimes referred to as spot gloss or spot varnish. Spot UV printing is a clear, UV gloss coating that can be printed on specific areas of your design that highlights important things like; text, logos, or anywhere you want to pop on your label. The spot UV process makes your custom label stand out over your competitors. The subtle artistic effects will make a long-lasting impression.

With the Spot UV creating the 3D look and adding texture, it will be 100x more attractive to the human eye! Textures should be considered when designing custom labels.
