Spot UV vs. Lamination: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to print finishing, lamination and Spot UV are commonly used on the book cover and they serve different purposes.
Spot UV is a high-gloss coating applied to targeted areas of your design.
- Highlights specific elements such as logos, text, or patterns
- Adds a subtle texture and shine for a premium look
- Can be applied on top of laminated surfaces for added effect
Lamination is a protective film applied over the entire surface of your book cover.
- Enhances durability and extends the life of the book cover
- Provides resistance to water, grease, and everyday wear
- Helps prevent paper cracking along folds and creases
To see the difference for yourself, order a sample pack and experience the feel of gloss lamination, matte lamination, Spot UV, and uncoated paper firsthand.
Spot UV or Raise UV: What’s the Best Fit for My Book Design?
Spot UV creates contrast by highlighting parts of a background, offering a sleek and refined look.
Best for: Clean, modern designs; highlighting elements without texture
Effect: Glossy shine with a flat surface
Raised UV takes Spot UV a step further by adding height and texture. The coated areas not only shine but can also be felt to the touch. This technique creates a more dramatic, tactile experience that invites interaction and adds depth.
Best for: Bold titles, logos, or patterns you want readers to feel and notice
Effect: Glossy shine with a raised, textured surface
