Margins for spot UV varnishing should be a minimum of 5mm on side and a minimum of 15 mm on grip edge. Spray powder should be used to a minimum as this can interfere with the visual quality of the finished product.
High wax content inks should be avoided as they can cause poor adhesion of the varnish to board. Lightfast inks should be used instead.
Spot UV varnish over edges or cuts should be avoided, as is the same for scores. Place a varnish free channel where crease will fall,this only needs to be 1-2 mm to avoid cracking or varnish, avoid uncoated stocks.
