Raised Gloss Finish Business Cards

Textured, dimensional gloss accents for a truly tactile brand experience

Raised gloss finish business cards combine the elegance of high-shine printing with a subtle, touchable texture. Using UV-cured gloss applied in precise layers, key design elements — such as logos, names, or patterns — stand slightly above the card surface. The result is both visually striking and physically engaging, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who receives your card.

Ideal for creative directors, luxury retailers, beauty brands, architects, and premium service providers, raised gloss adds sophistication, depth, and a memorable hand-feel to any business card design.

Highlights:

  • High-shine, textured gloss that sits slightly raised above the card surface
  • Customisable placement on logos, typography, or graphic elements
  • Pairs beautifully with matte, uncoated, or satin card finishes
  • Choice of standard or rounded corner styles
  • Optional combination with metallic foil, embossing, or debossing effects

A dimensional finish for unforgettable branding

Raised gloss creates a dual sensory experience — the eye sees the light-catching shine while the finger feels the subtle texture beneath it. This interplay of sight and touch signals craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. Used sparingly for fine linework or boldly for large logos, raised gloss transforms ordinary business cards into keepsakes.

Frequently asked questions


Can I write on raised gloss finish business cards?
You can write on uncoated or matte areas, but raised gloss surfaces resist ink and may smudge if written over.

Does raised gloss wear off over time?
No. The UV-cured gloss is durable and resistant to scratching or peeling under normal business card handling.

Is edge-to-edge printing supported with raised gloss?
Yes. Full-bleed colour printing is available underneath, with raised gloss applied to selected design elements only.

Are recycled paper options available with raised gloss?
Yes. Selected recycled and FSC-certified paper stocks can be paired with raised gloss accents.

Note to user: Before placing your order, please ensure all details, contact information, and design specifications are accurate and up to date. We recommend reviewing your artwork, spelling, and layout carefully to avoid reprint delays or additional costs.

  1. Donald Clark

    GBGlasgow

    One card had the raised gloss applied outside the design area. A small glossy dot near the edge. The rest were perfect. Not worth reordering but worth noting in my review.

  2. Elizabeth Taylor

    USDetroit, MI

    The gold raised gloss on black paper is stunning. My logo looks like it’s embossed with gold. Clients think it’s real metal. Perfect for my jewelry business.

  3. Frank Miller

    SAKhobar

    After testing raised gloss from seven different printers over three years, this company produces the most consistent and precise dimensional effect. The gloss height is uniform, the edges are clean, and the durability is unmatched. Finally found my permanent printer for specialty finishes.

  4. Patricia Lee

    KWHawally

    The raised gloss is beautiful but the cards are slightly thin. I wish the card stock was heavier to match the premium gloss effect. Still good but could be better.

  5. Anthony Martinez

    USPhiladelphia, PA

    I’ve recommended this printer to my entire wedding industry network. At least 10 people have ordered raised gloss cards based on my recommendation. All were impressed with the quality.

  6. Maria Garcia

    USAtlanta, GA

    The gloss makes the cards slightly thicker. They don’t fit in some tight card slots. Quality is excellent but check your card holder dimensions.

  7. Charles Wilson

    AEDubai

    The raised gloss cards arrived in perfect condition. Rigid cardboard envelope prevented any bending. International shipping was well handled to Dubai.

  8. Mary Johnson

    CAEdmonton

    Good quality but I wish they offered raised gloss on both sides. Currently only available on one side. My design would benefit from double-sided raised effect.

  9. Peter Parker

    USHouston, TX

    The online proof process was quick. I approved at 2pm and cards shipped same day. Very efficient. Arrived 2 days later. Fastest raised gloss cards I’ve ordered.

  10. Diana Prince

    OMSalalah

    The raised effect works best on bold text. My thin serif font didn’t show the gloss as well as I hoped. Fine for logos but avoid thin design elements.

  11. Laura Bennett

    BHRiffa

    The raised gloss doesn’t crack when the card is bent. I tested it by flexing a card and the gloss stayed intact. Very flexible application. Durable for wallets.

  12. Gregory Adams

    USSan Diego, CA

    Good quality but the turnaround was inconsistent. First order 5 days. Second order 9 days. Same raised gloss quality both times but timing varies.

  13. Rebecca Scott

    SADammam

    The cards feel very substantial. Thick card stock plus raised gloss creates a heavy, premium feel. My real estate clients are always impressed.

  14. Zachary Hill

    CAOttawa

    I’ve ordered 2,500 raised gloss cards from this company. Every batch has been perfect. The gloss alignment is always precise. Reliable quality for large corporate orders.

  15. Samantha Reed

    QAAl Rayyan

    The gloss is very raised – about 0.5mm high. You can really feel it. Beautiful effect but makes the cards slightly harder to stack evenly.

  16. Jonathan Baker

    USBoston, MA

    The raised gloss cards are perfect for my law firm. They look prestigious and feel expensive. Clients comment on the quality. Worth the investment for professional image.

  17. Stephanie Clark

    AESharjah

    Good product but the white paper underneath has a slight blue tint. The raised gloss is beautiful but the paper color is cool. Fine for most but noticeable.

  18. Brandon Taylor

    USNashville, TN

    The raised effect is applied evenly across all cards. No variation in gloss height. Consistent quality throughout the entire batch of 500.

  19. Megan Anderson

    KWSalmiya

    One card had a small bubble in the raised gloss. The other 499 were perfect. Acceptable defect rate. Customer service offered a partial refund for the one card.

  20. Kevin White

    USPhoenix, AZ

    The raised gloss makes my business name very tactile. People remember the card because of how it feels. Great for branding and memorability.

  21. Ashley Wilson

    NZWellington

    Customer service responded within 2 hours when I had a question about my file. Very fast and helpful. Great support for rush orders.

  22. Joshua Lee

    AUMelbourne

    The raised gloss survived being in my pocket for 4 months. No flattening or cracking. Very durable application. Impressed with the longevity.

  23. Emily Davis

    CACalgary

    Good quality but the online preview doesn’t show the raised effect well. Hard to visualize how it will look. The final product matched my expectations but the preview could be better.

  24. William Brown

    GBBristol

    I’ve ordered raised gloss cards from four different printers. This is the most precise. The gloss follows my complex logo shape perfectly with no bleeding.

  25. Mia Johnson

    SAJeddah

    The texture is consistent across all cards. Every card has the same raised effect. No variation in height or gloss level. Quality control is excellent.

  26. Ethan Davis

    USPortland, OR

    The raised gloss shows every fingerprint. The glossy areas look smudged after handling. Beautiful when clean but requires careful handling. Carry a microfiber cloth.

  27. Isabella Martinez

    AEAbu Dhabi

    Great value for dimensional printing. I compared several specialty printers. This was the best price for raised gloss. Very happy with my choice.

  28. Nathan Brown

    USDenver, CO

    The cards feel very expensive. The combination of thick card stock and raised gloss creates a premium product. My high-end clients expect this quality.

  29. Olivia Williams

    OMMuscat

    One card had no raised gloss on a small section. The rest were perfect. Acceptable defect rate for the volume. Overall still very happy with the quality.

  30. Andrew Martinez

    CAMontreal

    The raised gloss catches light beautifully. From certain angles, my logo looks illuminated. Very dramatic effect. Perfect for my nightlife and events business.

  31. Sophia Rodriguez

    BHManama

    Customer service explained the file setup clearly. I’m not a designer but they walked me through it. Very patient and helpful. Great support for non-designers.

  32. Brian Miller

    USSeattle, WA

    Shipping took 10 days to arrive. Product is beautiful but delivery was slower than the 5-7 days promised. Order earlier if you need them by a deadline.

  33. Michelle Williams

    KWKuwait City

    The raised effect is very subtle on thin lines. My logo has fine details and the gloss is barely raised. Works better on thicker design elements. Wish I knew that before ordering.

  34. Christopher Lee

    QADoha

    Good product but the minimum order is 250. I only needed 100 for a small event. Would love a lower minimum for testing raised gloss designs.

  35. Jessica Tran

    GBManchester

    The raised gloss makes my logo look 3D. Combined with the matte background, the contrast is stunning. My photography business cards look like mini art pieces.

  36. Daniel Kim

    SARiyadh

    Good quality but the design file requirements are strict. My first file was rejected because the raised gloss layer wasn’t set up correctly. Once fixed, the results were great.

  37. Amanda Foster

    USAustin, TX

    The raised gloss is durable. I’ve had these cards in my wallet for 2 months and the texture hasn’t flattened at all. Still feels as raised as day one.

  38. Robert Taylor

    AEDubai

    Very affordable for a specialty finish. Other printers charge double for raised gloss. This is the best value I’ve found for dimensional UV coating.

  39. Lisa Garcia

    NZAuckland

    The tactile feel is amazing. People don’t expect to feel texture on a business card. It starts conversations. Perfect for my architecture firm.

  40. James Taylor

    CAVancouver

    One of my 500 cards had the raised gloss slightly off-center. The rest were perfect. Customer service offered to reprint the whole batch but I didn’t think it was necessary.

  41. Emily Wilson

    USChicago, IL

    Turnaround was 5 days as promised. Cards arrived well packaged. The raised gloss is precise on my small logo text. Very impressed with the detail work.

  42. David O’Brien

    AUSydney

    The raised effect is beautiful but the cards stick together slightly. When stacked, the gloss on one card sticks to the back of another. Have to peel them apart carefully.

  43. Sarah Johnson

    GBLondon

    Finally found a printer that does raised gloss properly. Previous printers had inconsistent application. This is perfect – smooth, raised, and glossy without being messy.

  44. Michael Chen

    CAToronto

    The dimensional effect makes my logo pop off the card. It catches light differently than flat printing. Very eye-catching at networking events.

  45. Jennifer Martinez

    USLos Angeles, CA

    The raised gloss effect on my logo is incredible. You can actually feel the texture. Clients run their fingers over it. Such a premium touch for my luxury brand.
