QR Codes for Business Cards

A QR code on a business card can help people save your contact details, open your website, view a portfolio or connect with you on social media.

Best QR code type for business cards

A vCard QR code is usually the most practical option because it can help someone save your name, phone number, email and company details directly to their contacts.

Design considerations

Keep enough white space around the QR code and avoid placing it too close to the card edge. A very small or crowded code may be difficult to scan.

What to link to

You can link to a contact card, booking page, LinkedIn profile, portfolio, product page, review page or digital brochure. Choose one action rather than trying to make the card do everything.

Testing before print

Print a sample at actual business-card size and test it in normal lighting. Do not rely only on a large on-screen preview.
