Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, download the relevant template from the Production templates section above. Follow the instructions provided and remember to remove the 'Guide' layer before exporting your artwork as a PDF.
For the best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are in CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours, these will be converted to CMYK during production, which may affect how your colours appear in print.
To avoid font issues, make sure all fonts are embedded or converted to outlines before exporting your PDF. For readability, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For the best print quality, aim for images between 300dpi and 450dpi at their final print size. Lower resolutions may appear blurry or pixelated, while higher resolutions can increase file sizes. Check product template for any specific requirements.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, include crop marks with a 10mm offset and document bleed when exporting your artwork as a PDF. Refer to the relevant product template for the required bleed specifications, as these vary by product.
All artwork must be supplied as a print ready PDF. We recommend exporting in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally using the PDF/X 1a:2001 standard.

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.
