Let your next name card have Spot UV coating and let it stand out from the other name cards. Spot UV is a simple way to highlight certain, even very detailed, areas of the name card. This could be your name or the logo to create an extraordinary effect on your cards. But let me show you some examples so you can have a better understanding.

Spot UV, in general, is a technique where a layer of glossy printing lays ontop a specific area that you want to highlight. One the last two pictures above you can see on the color that there is a gloss effect.
