What is Matt Laminating?
Matt Laminating is a silky smooth matt plastic finish which is applied to both the front and back of your card. This finish provides a protective coating to your card surface as well as a silky classy feeling. This matt surface can be written on with most ball point pens quite easily.
What is Spot UV Coating?
Spot UV is where chosen areas of your card are treated with a gloss coating over the matt laminate. The business card using a Spot UV finish can be quite eye-catching and create a lot of impact.
