North Rim Brewing
North Rim Brewing designed their silk business cards with a blind spot uv imprint of their name over their logo. This is one of our favorite ways to use spot uv as it really makes for an interesting business card. The spot uv name is easy to read as you tilt the card and looks great as a contrast over our silk laminated card stock. Since the spot uv gloss is clear, the white logo underneath is still perfectly legible as well. Finally, the gloss brings out extra contrast from the black ink to create a darker appearance where the spot uv gloss is applied.
Mystical Entertainment
ME designed their foil stamped silk business cards to have a flashy, bold and luxurious look. These unique business cards have the top portion of the Mystical Entertainment logo stamped in silver foil to create the logo "me" on both the front and back of the business card. Then there is a detailed ornamental pattern applied over the ink (a technique referred to as blind spot uv). In the light the spot gloss creates a very interesting effect, while still allowing the lettering below to be read easily.
Mercurial
Mercurial designed their cards with a negative cutout of their logo inside a bar of gold foil on one side. The other side is black with the Mercurial logo imprinted in blind spot uv gloss. Using only blind spot uv and no other ink design elements on the back side makes for a classy effect and contrasts well with the front of the card which was required to be more heavy on information and contact details.
MaxQ
We printed suede business cards for the team at MaxQ with a blind spot UV gloss finish. The logo pattern that existed throughout the orange portion of their business cards was repeated across the remaining grey background in spot gloss, giving half of the card a gloss pattern and keeping space for the smooth feel of the suede lamination on the rest of the card.
