Raised Spot UV | Dimensional Tactile Packaging Finish
Thick, tactile raised gloss coating for dimensional effects
Key Benefits of Raised Spot UV
About Raised Spot UV
Raised spot UV creates a thick, tactile coating that rises visibly above the packaging surface. This dimensional finishing technique adds sculptural quality to logos, text, and design patterns.
50-100 micron coating thickness creates clear visual and tactile dimension. Achieves effects similar to embossing without die tooling costs.
Finish You Can Feel
Raised spot UV takes standard spot UV to another dimension by applying a significantly thicker coating that creates a noticeable 3D effect above the packaging surface. The raised elements can be felt clearly by running a finger across the design, adding a sculptural quality that transforms flat printed packaging into a tactile experience.
Dramatic Design Possibilities
Apply raised UV to logos, brand names, patterns, textures, or decorative elements. The height of the coating can be adjusted from subtle to dramatic. Combine raised areas with flat spot UV for multi-level effects. The glossy raised surface catches and reflects light dynamically, creating movement and visual interest.
Luxury Without Tooling
Raised spot UV achieves effects similar to embossing but without the cost of metal dies. This makes dimensional effects accessible for shorter production runs and more complex designs. Changes to the raised design can be made between runs without new tooling costs.

Raised Spot UV FAQs
How thick is raised spot UV?
Raised spot UV creates a coating layer approximately 50-100 microns thick, compared to 5-10 microns for standard spot UV. This thickness is clearly visible and tactile.
Is raised spot UV more expensive than standard spot UV?
Yes, raised UV requires additional coating passes and material, making it more expensive than standard spot UV. However, it is typically less expensive than embossing dies for complex designs.
Can raised UV replicate embossing effects?
Raised UV can create similar dimensional effects to embossing without requiring metal dies. However, the aesthetic is different. Embossing deforms the board itself, while raised UV adds material on top.
What surfaces work best with raised UV?
Raised UV works best over matte and soft-touch laminated surfaces. The contrast between the smooth background and the raised glossy elements creates maximum visual and tactile impact.
Can raised UV be combined with foil stamping?
Yes, combining raised UV and foil stamping on the same box creates an extraordinarily premium finish. The techniques can be applied to different elements or overlaid for metallic raised effects.
