What is UV Coating?
UV coating is a durable high-gloss finish that is placed on cards after they're printed. The final result is a product that not only looks great with a High Gloss Shine, but is also better protected from the elements and has extra durability for repeated handling! It also makes the colors brighter and the card look more professional.

Why does my business card crack around the edges?
Cracking of the edges of a business card occurs sometimes when the card contains high values of ink, as in dark colors. This usually happens on a small amount of cards in the run. To prevent this, use lighter colors or if you must use dark colors, use as little ink as possible.
