Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, we recommend downloading the relevant template from the 'Product Templates' section above. Don’t forget to follow the template instructions and delete the 'guide' layer before exporting your design to a PDF.
For best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours in any element of your artwork, we will automatically convert them to CMYK which may change your colour profile.
To eliminate any font issues, make sure all fonts are ‘embedded’ or ‘converted to outlines’ before creating your PDF print file. To ensure legibility, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For optimal image print quality, ensure all images are 300dpi to 450dpi. Anything lower than 300dpi will give poor image quality. Images higher than 450dpi will result in high file sizes and may cause longer upload times.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, be sure to include ‘crop marks’ (offset 10mm) and ‘document bleed’ when exporting your artwork file to PDF. Refer to our product templates for the required bleed specifications.
To meet our print requirements, ensure your file is exported in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally as PDF/X-1a: 2001.

Understanding Scodix Foil
Add premium detail and eye-catching finishes to your artwork with digital foil enhancements. Watch our How to Elevate Your Print with Scodix Digital Foil video guide to discover how foil effects can make your print stand out.
Spot UV business cards utilise the Scodix process to apply a glossy, raised coating to selected areas of the silk card, creating a striking contrast with the matte or textured background. This technique highlights specific design elements, adding a premium and eye-catching effect. Spot UV cards are popular for their ability to make a bold impression, offering both visual appeal and tactile interest.
Scodix is a digital enhancement technology that applies a high-gloss finish to printed materials. This process creates a striking, shiny effect on specific areas of the design, adding a premium and eye-catching touch to the final product.
To set up your spot UV file, start by creating a new spot colour swatch in your design software and name it "Scodix." Duplicate all pages of your design, then apply the "Scodix" spot colour to the elements where you want the spot UV varnish to appear. Ensure that any non-spot UV elements are removed from these pages. Include a 2mm margin around the edges of your design to prevent cracking during trimming.
Yes, unlike traditional spot UV, Scodix allows you to adjust the height and opacity of your spot UV elements. Apply 10%, 20%, and 100% opacity in your spot UV file to create varying depths and definition to your designs.
To supply your spot UV file, include both the print and spot UV elements in a single PDF file. For single-sided designs, create a 2-page PDF: the first page should contain the print design, and the second page should include the spot UV elements. For double-sided designs, use a 4-page PDF: pages 1 and 2 for the print design, and pages 3 and 4 for the spot UV elements. If spot UV is only needed on one side, include a blank page where spot UV is not required.
Matt: A sleek, professional look with a subtle, non-reflective surface
Soft Touch: A luxurious, velvety texture that creates a premium tactile feel
Scodix spot UV business cards are recyclable if they are not laminated. However, once laminated, they are no longer suitable for recycling. For accurate disposal information, it's advisable to consult your local guidelines on special finish business cards.
