Letterpress
Letterpress printing produces truly distinctive cards. This process involves creating a metal or photopolymer plate from your artwork or design that you would like to appear on business cards, then using that plate to press ink onto paper stock selected for your project. Letterpress leaves a deep impression in paper which looks and feels fantastic and conveys a sense of handcrafted quality unlike any other printing method.
Letterpress offers more than just great print work; it also adds texture to business cards through embossing and debossing techniques. Embossing involves elevating one element above the paper surface while debossing submerges it beneath. Both techniques create beautiful visual and tactile effects when used with premium materials like leather.
Add an eye-catching finishing touch to your business cards by giving them rounded corners or soft touch lamination. This gives the card an irresistibly silky surface that feels wonderful to touch – sure to impress all your contacts!
Spot UV
Spot UV business cards offer an effective way to distinguish yourself from competitors with their eye-catching and memorable textured look. A shiny coating applied in targeted areas of a card and then cured using ultraviolet light creates a glossy raised finish, perfect for accentuating text, logos or images; watermark-esque effects may even be created using spot UV’s glossy raised finish – giving your brand an upscale and professional image! The contrast of matte laminated stock against this textured effect communicates that you represent quality products or services while also conveying that your brand stands out.
Spot UV provides another advantage to business cards using spot UV: it protects them from scuffs and scratches, with its glossy surface resisting smudges after repeated handling. Furthermore, this professional touch conveys that you take pride in your brand while paying close attention to every detail – giving your clients and prospects an impression that you care.
If you choose to implement spot UV on your business cards with artlogo , it is crucial that your design is setup appropriately in order to take full advantage of its effects. In order to do this, a separate mask file representing areas you would like the UV applied will need to be created – white (100% K) areas won’t receive UV treatment, while any black (or any color that you decide upon for accents) spots will receive its glossy shine coating.
