UV Gloss Postcards
5.0 (9 Google reviews)High gloss UV postcards. 16PT stock. Stand out in the mailbox.
What does the UV High Gloss postcard offer that the matte version doesn't?
It adds a high-gloss UV coating to 16PT card stock, with two choices: UV PG1 Only coats the front and leaves the back writable, while UV coats both sides. Pick it over the Matte Finish version when you want a shiny, reflective surface that makes photos and bright colors stand out.
Common questions
What is a UV high gloss postcard like to handle?
The card is 16PT stock with a smooth, shiny UV coating that reflects light. Colors look more saturated and photos more vivid than on a flat finish. The trade-off is glare under bright light, which is why some buyers choose the Matte Finish sibling for text-heavy designs.
On a UV postcard, should I choose UV PG1 Only or UV on both sides?
Choose UV PG1 Only if anyone needs to write on the back, such as a handwritten note, signature or mailing address, since only the front is coated and the back stays writable. Choose UV for both sides when neither side needs writing and you want gloss front and back, such as a double-sided photo card.
Can I order a large-format UV gloss postcard?
Yes. Sizes run from 4.25×2.75 up to 8.5×11, with 4.25×5.5, 4×6, 5×7, 8.5×5.5, 4×9, 6×9 and 6×11 in between. Each size can be printed single-sided or double-sided, and the larger 6×11 and 8.5×11 formats give a glossy photo plenty of room.
Can I order a small test batch of UV gloss postcards?
Yes. The UV High Gloss version starts at 25 pieces, half the minimum of the Matte Finish version, and goes up to 100,000. A short run lets you check how your colors look under gloss before committing, and runs of 1,000 or more are where pricing is most competitive.
