Add An Edge To Your Business Cards With A UV Coating

Add An Edge To Your Business Cards With A UV Coating

A business card is a crucial business tool for developing a relationship between a company and a potential client. Cards need to be attractive and informative to win people over, but also one has to consider how they're made. UV coatings are a simple solution of compounds that dry quickly under UV lights to form a smooth, durable layer.

This layer is a simple barrier that provides two clear benefits: it is more practical than other options and it makes the card look so much nicer.

Improve the look of your cards with this UV coating

Any business card can look attractive with the right color scheme, a strong logo and some carefully thought-out text, but – no pun intended – it also needs to shine. A UV coating provides a nice glossy overcoat that immediately makes a card seem more professional as it catches the light. The other great thing about using this coating is that it can accentuate the tones and colors that have been used to give a vibrant effect. Customers should be aware, however, that this effect won’t work on cards with foil stamping or any other metallic elements, including inks.

Use UV coating to make your card more durable and practical

Any kind of glossy, water-resistant coating is a great idea for business cards because they ensure that the card remains intact and legible. There is nothing worse than passing a business card to a potential client, only for it to get smudged by a wet finger or soaked in a rain shower. Water-resistant also means sweat-resistant for places like gyms and spas. The other great thing about opting for this solvent-free UV coating is that it is quick drying, which means that cards can be produced in large quantities in a short space of time. The only potential downside is that it is hard to write on them, but they should be informative enough already not to require some quick notes on top.

This extra touch can make a big difference.  

A simple UV coating may not sound like the most important extra detail for a business card once all the right graphics and information are in place, but this attractive, practical touch could make a difference. If you want your business card to look great on the stand, feel good in the hand and remain durable and attractive through rain and sweat, this is a great investment.
