Common Questions

What is Spot UV?
Spot UV (also called Spot Gloss or Spot Varnish), is a clear varnish that is applied to specific areas of your business card to create dramatic contrast, highlights, and dimension from other parts of the design.

Do You Offer Matte as Square Business Cards?
Yes, we currently offer two square sizes: 2″ x 2″ and 2.5″ x 2.5.”

Can I Have Borders in My Artwork?
Print Dallas does accept borders on jobs. However, we do not recommend them on smaller pieces like business cards and hang tags. Because artwork can shift up to 0.0625” in any direction during printing, this can create uneven borders.

Do You Offer Folded Business Cards?
Yes, we offer 3.5″ x 4″ folded business cards with or without Spot UV. With folded business cards, you’ll have twice the space to add additional information, discounts, promotions, and more.
