Question

What is the equivalent to Flood UV Coating?

Answer

Flood UV coating simply means the entire card is covered with a high-gloss UV coating, as opposed to spot UV, where only specific areas are coated. So the equivalent to flood UV is any full-coverage high-gloss UV finish: the coating floods the whole surface rather than being placed in select spots.

  • Flood UV equals overall UV, sometimes called full UV, applied edge to edge across the side.
  • The result is a bright, glossy, protective sheen over the complete printed area.
  • By contrast, spot UV leaves most of the card matte and glosses only chosen details.
  • Choose flood UV when you want maximum shine and surface protection across the whole card.
