Maybe it&#8217;s a book cover with a striking, glossy design that catches the light just right as you browse the displays in the bookstore. Or perhaps it&#8217;s a product package where certain elements\u2014maybe a logo or brand name\u2014seem to shimmer and gleam while the rest stays matte? That&#8217;s the magic of UV printing techniques, and if you&#8217;re considering adding this effect to your project, you have two main choices: UV offset printing and spot UV printing.<\/p><p>Both can enhance books, board games, card sets, and packaging, but they serve different purposes.
