Raised Spot UV Suede Greeting Cards

These cards do the work a flat print cannot. The suede softness and the raised gloss together read premium without a word of explanation, and the folding format gives you an inside to fill or leave open for a handwritten line. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every style on greeting cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 100 starts at $591.81, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 500, so a full send for a season or a mailing costs far less per card than a small test batch.

What Are Raised Spot UV Suede Greeting Cards?

Raised spot UV suede greeting cards are folded cards printed on a single 16pt suede-laminated stock, with a clear gloss raised onto the front. Spot UV is a gloss coating applied only to chosen areas, and raised means it is built up so you feel it stand above the soft suede surface. They ship as one folding size, 10 by 7 inches flat that creases to a 5 by 7 inch finished card, and they arrive scored so the fold is clean every time. People reach for them when a plain flat card would undersell the moment: formal thank-you notes, invitations, corporate holiday cards, and announcements that need to feel like an event. If you want the same raised gloss on a soft velvet laminated stock instead, the Raised Spot UV Greeting Cards cover that, and if you want the suede stock without the raised detail, the Suede Greeting Cards sit right beside this one.

What Does Raised Spot UV Add to the Card?

The gloss is where these cards earn their keep. A clear coating prints only where you want it, your logo, a name, a snowflake, a border, then builds up so it physically rises off the surface. Light catches the glossy shapes while the rest of the card stays velvety and matte, so the design has depth you can see and texture you can feel. The effect is loudest with contrast, so give one strong element the gloss and let the suede carry the rest. The raised spot UV always sits on the front, so build your artwork around a clear front-of-card focal point.

What Does the Suede Stock Feel Like?

Weight and texture do the talking on this product. The 16pt suede laminate is thick enough to feel substantial and soft enough that people run a thumb across it, a matte, almost fabric-like surface that reads premium the instant it lands in a hand. Against that softness, the raised gloss is the contrast: a bright, clear detail that stands up off the card. You are not sorting through a dozen papers here, you are getting the one combination built to show raised spot UV at its best, which keeps every card in your run consistent from the first to the last. The specs below lay out the exact size, turnaround, and file types the live configurator uses.

Here are a couple of easy ways to make a raised spot UV suede card pull its weight.

Design around one bold gloss element

Raised spot UV is loudest when it has room to breathe. Give a monogram, a crest, or a single headline the front of the card and let the suede carry the rest, rather than glossing everything. You do not need a designer to get there: start from a professionally built layout in our greeting card design templates, then change the colors, copy, and logo in the online editor in minutes.

Set up your file at the real fold size

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank greeting card template is built at the true 10 by 7 inch flat size with the fold, bleed, and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the crease or the cut. Drop your art in, mark where the gloss goes, and upload.

How Much Do Raised Spot UV Suede Greeting Cards Cost?

Raised spot UV suede greeting cards start at $591.81 per 100, which is $5.92 a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs to 500. A run of 250 comes to $657.71, or $2.63 each, and 500 cards run $908.14, which brings each card down to $1.82. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where the next step up barely moves the budget.

Can You Print Both Sides and See a Proof First?

Yes on both. Print full color on the front with a blank back when you want the inside open for a handwritten note, or print full color on both sides when the card is doing all the talking. Because these are a premium send, you can request a free online proof before anything runs, so you confirm the fold, the gloss placement, and the color on screen first. Trust your file already? Send it straight to production instead. Either way the card arrives scored, so the 5 by 7 inch fold sits square without cracking the suede.

How Do They Compare to Other Greeting Cards?

Raised gloss on suede is the premium pick, but it is not your only move. If you are weighing the same raised gloss on a soft velvet stock, the same suede with raised foil instead of spot UV, or plain suede with no raised detail, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up these cards against their closest siblings, including the Raised Foil Suede Greeting Cards, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

The gallery below collects greeting cards our own customers printed in-house, so you can borrow ideas and see how a gloss choice actually reads in the hand. Tap any print to see it larger.

How Fast Can You Get Them?

Raised spot UV takes a real press step, so standard production for these cards runs 7 business days, and when a date sneaks up you can move to the 4 business day option. That faster speed buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for the rush when you actually need it. You are not gambling on the date either: 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time and 82% ship early. Compare both turnaround speeds below and see exactly what the faster option adds before you pick.
