Luxe Business Cards: Everything You Need to Know
Quick answer: Luxe Business Cards are Print Studio Scotland's premium everyday range — printed in-house at our Paisley studio on extra-heavy 450gsm silk card, full colour on both sides, finished with Soft Touch laminate as standard. Prices start at £39 for 100 cards, with a typical 3–4 working day turnaround. It's the step up from HQ for brands that want their card to feel as good as it looks, without moving into raised Scodix finishes.
What Are Luxe Business Cards?
Luxe takes the same in-house print quality as our HQ range and builds on it: a heavier 450gsm stock and a velvety Soft Touch laminate on both sides as standard, rather than an option. The result is a card that feels noticeably more substantial and premium the moment someone picks it up — without the cost or longer lead time of a raised Scodix finish like Spot UV or Foil.

Printed In-House, Start to Finish
Like HQ, every Luxe card is printed, laminated and trimmed at our own studio in Paisley — nothing is sent to a third party. Our team preflights your artwork, prints and finishes the job on our own equipment, and quality-checks it before dispatch. This is different from our 3D Spot UV and 3D Foil ranges, where the raised Scodix finish is applied by a specialist outsourced partner because that equipment is a significant, specialist investment. If staying fully in-house matters to you, HQ and Luxe are the two ranges that guarantee it.
Who Orders Luxe Business Cards?
Luxe is a favourite with creative professionals, consultants, luxury and hospitality brands, and agencies who want their card to reinforce brand quality from the very first touch — without needing a raised or metallic finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between HQ and Luxe Business Cards?
Both are printed full colour on both sides, in-house at Paisley. HQ uses 400gsm silk with a choice of Matt, Gloss or Soft Touch laminate. Luxe uses a heavier 450gsm stock with Soft Touch laminate as standard, for a noticeably more premium feel. See our HQ Business Cards guide for the full comparison.
What does Soft Touch laminate feel like?
A silky, velvet-like texture that feels distinctly different from standard gloss or matt laminate — tactile and noticeably more premium.
How is Luxe different from Spot UV or Foil?
Luxe is a flat, ultra-premium finish — no raised elements. Our 3D Spot UV and 3D Foil ranges add a genuinely raised, tactile Scodix finish on top of similar print quality, produced by a specialist outsourced partner, which is why they take 5 working days rather than 3–4 and start from a higher price point.
How quickly will my Luxe Business Cards be printed?
Typical turnaround is 3–4 working days. Contact us if you have a tight deadline and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Do you offer a design service if I don't have artwork?
Yes — our in-house design team can create your business card artwork from scratch. Visit our Graphic Design page or contact us for pricing.
