Graphic/Print design People, Question about print technique/type

[SamIchi]

Anyone know what name of the print type/technique where a glossy graphic is placed over a matte surface? They don't necessarily have different colors, it just shows different textures. Almost like thin plastic sticker is placed over the matte surface.

I've mostly seen them on book covers and product packaging, anyone know what this type of printing is called?

Are you referring to a spot varnish?

Spot Varnish or the usual abbrevation: Spot UV. Love them in the right place.

Super glossy. Often run over a matt laminate to heighten contrast between different textures. Usually set up as a different channel within the same artwork, either as vector (often type) or bitmap.

Allow a little extra time for the printers to do it.
