Raised Shiny Brochures
Raised shiny brochures feature a high-gloss raised coating applied to selected design elements, creating a visually striking contrast between the glossy, three-dimensional accents and the surrounding matt surface. The result is a brochure that shimmers, catches the light, and demands a second look.
At Perklets Print, our raised shiny process delivers crisp, precise raised gloss elements on any area of your brochure — logos, product images, headlines, or decorative patterns. The raised texture is satisfying to touch and creates a premium tactile experience that reinforces your brand's quality message.
Raised shiny brochures offer a more accessible entry point into luxury printing than full foil stamping, while still delivering a sophisticated, high-end result. They are popular with fashion brands, cosmetics companies, technology firms, and any business that wants to elevate its print marketing without the lead time of traditional foiling.

FAQs: Raised Shiny Brochures
What is raised shiny coating?
Raised shiny coating applies a thick, high-gloss, three-dimensional layer to selected areas of your brochure. Unlike standard spot UV which is relatively flat, raised shiny creates a noticeable raised texture that you can feel.
How does raised shiny differ from raised foiling?
Raised shiny uses a clear gloss coating that enhances the printed colours beneath it, while raised foiling applies a metallic foil in a specific colour (gold, silver etc.). Raised shiny is more colourful and vibrant; raised foiling is more metallic and opulent.
What designs work best with raised shiny?
Logos, product photography, geometric patterns, and headline text all benefit from raised shiny treatment. The technique works best when applied to elements you want to highlight rather than covering large background areas.
