Spot UV Business Cards

Yes, the larger runs work out cheaper per card. On the lowest-priced setup, 250 cards are £56.86 and 500 are £77.40, so doubling the order adds far less than double the cost. If you get through cards quickly at events, a larger run usually makes more sense than repeated short runs.

The dropdown stops at 2000, so a bigger run has to be priced separately. Send the quantity, sides and spot UV setting through Get a Quote. It is also worth asking if you need several staff names at volume, as the team can advise on splitting the order.

They do. The total refreshes on the page whenever you change the Spot UV dropdown or the print sides, so you can compare Spot UV 1 Side with Spot UV 2 Sides directly. Set the quantity last and you will see exactly what the combination you want costs before it goes in your cart.

Your file needs to show clearly which parts of the design are to be glossed, separate from the printed colours. Because setups vary, the simplest route is to ask the team how to prepare the spot areas before you send anything. A print-ready PDF at the finished size is the safest base for the main artwork.

Restraint. Pick one or two elements to highlight, such as the logo, your name or a repeating pattern across the back, and leave the rest matt. Simple shapes with clean edges make the contrast easy to read. If your logo itself needs work first, look at our Logo and Brand Refresh service.

Yes. Select the Professional artwork and design service (+£36.00) at the artwork step, and a designer lays out the card and plans where the spot UV goes. It is a sensible option if you have no designer of your own. Otherwise, choose the free print-ready option and upload your own files.

Choose Sides Printed, then the Spot UV setting, then Quantity, and watch the price change with each pick. Select your artwork option, add the cards to your cart and pay by card at checkout. Other items can join the same order from the online print shop before you pay.

Checkout runs through Stripe and takes Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. You pay when you place the order, and any delivery charge is shown before you confirm. Matching stationery can be added from the business stationery range so everything goes through in one payment.

Add each person's card to the cart as its own item, with its own artwork, so every name and title is printed correctly. Keeping the same sides and spot UV setting across all of them gives the team a consistent look. Matching items are covered on our corporate stationery page.

Yes, cards can go to any UK address, and the delivery cost is calculated at checkout so you see it before paying. Local customers can avoid that charge by collecting from the Bury New Road studio instead. Either way, allow for the production time before the cards are ready.

They are popular with creative agencies, consultants, solicitors and anyone who hands cards over in meetings and wants them remembered. Designers in the Northern Quarter and firms in Spinningfields both use them. A strong logo with plenty of matt space around it gives the gloss the most impact.

Spot UV gives clear gloss against matt, which suits modern, understated brands. Foil adds colour and metallic shine, such as gold or copper, for a more decorative feel. If your logo works in one flat colour, foil can be striking; if it relies on full colour, spot UV keeps it intact. See Metallic Foil Business Cards to compare.

Letterheads and compliment slips in the same colours make the cards part of a set rather than a one-off. Many clients order them together when rebranding. Browse Letterheads and Compliment Slips to build a matching pack for the office.
