Low-Cost Spot Uv Postcards Printing

Spot UV printing on postcards adds selective gloss height on logo, headline, or coupon zones after CMYK print. Select size, Paper Stock, sides, and qty in the bulk-postcards calculator above. Note spot UV zones in Cart Order Notes and upload CMYK plus a UV mask layer labeled SPOT UV. We email a digital proof showing gloss coverage before spot coat runs.

Calculator Size options are 4x6, 5x7, 6x9, and 6x11 EDDM-compatible inches. Four-by-six suits standard mail tiers. Six-by-nine reads large in the mailbox. Six-by-eleven fits EDDM saturation when postal panel layout is confirmed on the proof.

Direct mail clients ask whether spot UV reads on dark photography, how it differs from full gloss stock, and which size fits EDDM. We confirm 14pt Matte or 16pt Soft-Touch on the proof, explain selective UV versus full gloss face, and mark postal panels on mailed layouts.

First-time buyers upload gloss-on-gloss art on 14pt Gloss Cover where UV effect disappears, omit spot UV note in comments, or place UV over the mailing address panel. Write spot UV zones in Cart Order Notes, pick matte or soft-touch base, and upload a labeled UV mask layer.
