On the spot UV template file, indicate the spot UV areas by using 100% K. Non-UV areas should be white. For best results, ensure this file is vector.
If you require one side to be completed UV coated, the corresponding page in your template file should be entirely filled with 100% K.
If ordering a 4/4 job with spot UV on only one side, please ensure that page 1 of your artwork is the spot UV side.
CAUTION: Our spot UV machine manufacturer does not recommend extending the spot UV design to the trimmed edge of the card, as there would be
a high possibility of the spot UV peeling off along the trimmed edges. There should be at least a 5mm spot UV-free area around the edges. If you supply spot UV files with full bleed, please note our automation will automatically apply a 5
mm gap (from the trim edge) on your spot UV files to prevent the risks of the trimmed edges lifting/peeling. The non-spot UV varnished area may be visible along the edges as a result. It is best to avoid full bleed on your spot UV files for
the above reasons.
