Remove the template layer before uploading your artwork.
Make sure to extend the background images or colors all the way to the edge of the black outline.
This is the actual cut of the final design.
Do not place important text or images beyond the green border area to prevent trimming.
Add a separate layer named "Spot UV" with areas marked in 100% black (C0, M0, Y0, K100) where UV will be applied. Ensure no overlap with thin text or photos to maintain readability.
Confirm the Spot UV layer aligns perfectly with the base design elements to avoid misalignment during printing.
Save as a high-resolution PDF with a 1/8 inch (3mm) bleed and trim marks for accurate cutting. Please note that while the Spot UV layer should be included, it should not extend to the cutting edge.
Pro Print is your source for custom print products. Everything we print is created by our customers. No pre-designed templates here, but we do offer layout guides to eliminate guesswork on your part.
Our dynamic template generator provides you with a blank template that includes size, bleed, caution zone and fold lines (where applicable). To access your free template, select your options, press “Get Templates,” then download or email the template format you prefer.
Experiment with various specifications by adjusting options and generating new templates — the changes will be reflected in the new template.
Once you have selected all your options, retrieve the file, import it as a layer into your design program, and start creating. For existing designs, copy your design and make adjustments over the template.
Pro Tip: Delete the template layer before saving your press-ready file. If you leave the template in the artwork, it will print on your order!
Transform your business cards with Spot UV for a dazzling first impression.
Spot UV is a special coating that adds a glossy, raised effect to specific areas of your business card design. It’s cured by UV lighting on a special press. Here are some ideas for applications:
Use Spot UV to make logos, text, or key design elements stand out. The glossy finish catches the light, creating a striking contrast against matte or uncoated areas.
Spot UV adds a tactile dimension to the card, making it not only visually appealing but also pleasant to touch.
Use Spot UV to create patterns, borders, or subtle background designs. It adds a layer of sophistication and uniqueness to business cards.
Select the places you want to highlight with Spot UV when designing the card. Our printing experts will apply the coating with precision, ensuring a flawless finish.
With your unique business cards, choose paper that's a cut above the rest.
A sturdier option that balances durability and flexibility. Ideal for projects that need a professional feel without the bulk. Available in uncoated, coated on one side, and coated on both sides.
A heavy-duty choice, perfect for projects that require extra strength and a premium finish. Offers excellent durability and rigidity. Available in uncoated, coated on one side, and coated on both sides.

Worried your Spot UV design might not be up to the mark? Here’s what you have to keep in mind:
Ensure that Spot UV elements align perfectly with the corresponding elements on the design layer.
Avoid overusing Spot UV. It should complement the design, not overwhelm it.
Keep Spot UV elements on a separate layer from the main design. Name the layer clearly, such as “Spot UV.”
Ensure Spot UV elements are exactly aligned with the design elements they are meant to highlight.
Check if your design file, including the Spot UV layer, is at least 300 DPI to maintain sharpness.
PDF Format: Save your file in PDFformat, which is suitable for high-quality print jobs.
Stop the spot UV 3-5 points from the edge of the card. It should not bleed.

Absolutely, you can apply Spot UV to one or both sides of your business cards, depending on your design preferences. This technique can be utilized to highlight different elements on each side, enhancing the overall aesthetics.
To prepare your artwork, create two separate files: one for the standard print elements and another for the Spot UV areas. Ensure that your Spot UV file uses vector shapes or solid black for the areas where the UV coating should be applied.
While Spot UV can enhance various designs, it’s most effective when used on matte finishes or darker colors.
No. While adding Spot UV is an additional step in the printing process, you’d still receive your prints on time.
