Overview

The short answer, then the detail.

Spot UV business cards are 85 × 55 mm cards on 350gsm silk card with matt lamination on both sides. A clear, raised gloss varnish is added over the parts of the design you choose, on one side or both. Quantities run from 250 to 2,000 cards, and every uploaded file is checked.

Spot UV business cards pair a smooth matt surface with glossy, raised highlights. The contrast makes a logo, name or pattern shine when the card is tilted. They suit creative studios, property firms, consultants and salons.

Spot UV business cards: sizes and materials

Cards are the standard 85 × 55 mm, on 350gsm silk card with matt lamination on both sides. Print on the front only or on both sides.

The spot UV is a clear gloss varnish, slightly raised, that sits on top of the matt laminate only where you mark it. Choose spot UV on one side or on both sides. It suits logos, bold type and simple shapes.

Quantities. Order 250 to 2,000 cards (250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000). The price each falls as the quantity rises; the table next to the price shows the price each for every quantity.

Saver is from 6 working days to dispatch after your artwork is approved, Standard from 4 and Express from 3. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £99 and over; Scottish Highlands +£10; islands and Northern Ireland are quoted.

What artwork do I need to send?

A print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed and text 3 mm inside the trim, plus a second black-only layer file marking where the spot UV goes. You can also ask us to set that layer.

Do you check my file?

Yes. Our Manchester team checks your print file and finish layer for resolution, size and bleed so they print well. If we set the finish layer for you, we check it the same way.

What is spot UV?

Spot UV is a clear, raised gloss varnish applied to chosen parts of the card. On matt laminated card it gives a shiny highlight you can see and feel.

Can I have spot UV on both sides?

Yes. Choose spot UV on one side or on both sides. If you choose both, send a black-only layer for each side that has spot UV.

What designs suit spot UV?

Logos, bold type, simple shapes and patterns show the effect clearly. Very fine lines and small text are harder to see, so keep spot UV details reasonably bold.

Questions

Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.

I do not have artwork. Can you design it for me?

The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

How much do Spot UV Business Cards cost?

Spot UV Business Cards start from £35.12 with Printed Front only and spot UV Spot UV on one side on the Saver turnaround. The price in the calculator changes live as you pick the size, material, finishing, quantity and turnaround, so you see the final price before you add to basket. No VAT is added because we are not VAT registered. Delivery is added at checkout: UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).

Do you charge for delivery?

UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one card at £35.12 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.

How long do Spot UV Business Cards take to make?

On the option the calculator opens on, Saver is ready to dispatch in 6 working days, Standard in 4 and Express in 3. These are working days to dispatch, counted from when your order and artwork are confirmed, and other sizes or materials can take a day more or less: the calculator shows the exact days next to each turnaround. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Which printed should I choose for these cards?

You can choose front only or both sides. This decides which faces carry print. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Can I order now and send my artwork later?

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can I order more than one of these cards?

The quantity is part of the options: from 250 up to 2000 (250, 500, 1000 and 2000). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

How many cards should I order?

Order what you will use before the details change: phone numbers, offers and prices go out of date. Quantities run from 250 to 2,000, so compare two or three quantities in the calculator to see the price each. For a campaign, a smaller first run lets you test the design before a bigger order. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Will the price change at checkout?

Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can I pay for express production on Spot UV Business Cards?

Yes. Express makes these cards ready to dispatch in 3 working days on the opening option, priced at £40.65 against £35.12 on Saver (6 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.

Do you deliver Spot UV Business Cards to the Scottish Highlands?

Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. On the opening option, Spot UV Business Cards are ready to dispatch in 6 working days on Saver or 3 on Express.

Will my brand colours print exactly?

Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Can I print something different on the back of these cards?

Yes. Choose the both-sides printing option and supply two pages in your PDF: page 1 is the front, page 2 the back. The back is a good place for a map, opening hours, a price list or terms, while the front keeps the main message. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Do I need an account to order?

No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Where are Spot UV Business Cards made?

Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner. Either way, InstantBanners takes the order, checks your file and deals with you from start to finish, and the item is delivered to you by courier. You can reach our Manchester team on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp if you have a question before or after you order.

Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of Spot UV Business Cards?

Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. A quote is also the way to go for delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Can I reorder the same card later?

Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. Keep your print-ready file safe so a repeat order is quick. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Can I order several different designs in one order?

Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Can I get a VAT invoice?

No. We are not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because no VAT is added, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can someone help me choose the right options for these cards?

Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the card will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Can I change my artwork after ordering?

Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

How do I pay?

By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can I return these cards if I change my mind?

No. These cards are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.

How should I store these cards?

Keep printed paper and card flat, in the box it came in, somewhere dry and away from direct sun and heat. Damp makes paper curl and can stop it feeding through printers; sun fades colours over time. Take out only what you need so the rest stays clean. Spot UV Business Cards start at £35.12 before delivery.

Can these cards be recycled?

Unlaminated paper and card go in normal paper recycling. Laminated items, foils and plastic cards are harder to recycle, so check your local council's rules. We also offer recycled options. Spot UV Business Cards are made to order by our UK production partner.
