In today’s digital age, you might think business cards are becoming obsolete. Yet, here’s a surprising fact: 72% of people judge a company by the quality of their business cards, and 39% would choose not to do business with someone who has a cheap-looking card. At Sure Copy Courtenay, we’ve seen firsthand how innovative printing techniques, especially Raised Spot UV, are revolutionizing this crucial business tool.

Beyond the Ordinary: What is Raised Spot UV?

Imagine running your fingers across a business card and feeling subtle, elegant raised elements that catch both light and attention. That’s Raised Spot UV technology – a premium finishing technique that adds dimension and sophistication to your business cards. Unlike traditional flat business cards, Raised Spot UV creates tactile elements that quite literally elevate your design off the page.

The Technical Magic (In Simple Terms)
  • A specialized UV-curable clear coating is applied to specific areas of your design
  • This coating is cured instantly under UV light
  • The result? A glossy, raised effect that can be up to 100 microns in height
  • Completely dry and durable straight off the press

 

Why It Makes a Difference

Think about the last time you received a business card. Did you remember it? With Raised Spot UV, your card doesn’t just share information – it creates an experience. Here in the Comox Valley, where relationships drive business, making a memorable first impression is crucial.

The Impact:
  • Immediate tactile engagement
  • Enhanced visual appeal with light-catching elements
  • Professional differentiation from standard cards
  • Increased brand recall and recognition

 

Local Success Story: The Kingfisher Resort Experience

One of our valued clients, Kingfisher Resort, recently upgraded their business cards with Raised Spot UV technology. The results? Their spa managers reported an increase in client comments about their business cards, with many guests keeping the cards as a quality reference for future bookings.

“The texture and finish of our new cards align perfectly with our luxury resort experience,” shares their Marketing Director. “They’re not just contact details – they’re a tangible representation of our commitment to quality.”
