Why choose qr code business cards

  • One scan to the next step

    A QR code saves the person holding your card from typing a long address. Point it at the page you most want them on: a booking calendar, a menu or a contact card.

  • Room for the code

    The square shape gives a code space to breathe beside a short line of text, and the standard rectangle still works with the code on one half.

  • Every paper still on offer

    Glossy, matte and uncoated are joined by kraft, linen, pearl, bamboo and Ultra Thick, so a QR card can still match the rest of your brand.

  • A raised gloss code

    On matte paper you can add Embossed Gloss, which lifts the code or the logo off the card and makes people want to touch it.

Before you order

The code will not scan once it is printed
Most scanning failures come from a code printed too small, a missing border of white space, low contrast or a glossy reflection. Keep the clear border around the code, print dark on light, and test a printout at actual size with two or three phones before you order.
The link might change after I print
A static code stores the address itself, so changing it means new cards. Point the code at a page on a domain you control, and you can change what that page says without reprinting.

How people use it

  • A table card that opens the menu

    A matte card scans without glare under restaurant lights. Put the code large in the middle and the words Scan for the menu under it.

  • A portfolio card for a designer

    A square card with the code on one side of the layout and your name on the other. Link to a single project page, not the home page, so the first scan lands on your strongest work.

  • A contact card for an open house

    Link the code to a contact file so a buyer saves your number in one tap. Print the phone number as text too, for anyone whose camera will not cooperate.

From a scan to a useful next step

Choose the action first, then make the code, then test the finished card. Keep a readable contact line on the card so it still works without a scan.

  1. Choose a destination you control

    Use a page that loads quickly on a phone and lives on a domain you own. Check the final address, the spelling and any redirect before you make the code.

    Plan the page behind the code
  2. Make the code and keep its border

    Generate a static code, keep the clear white border around it, and use dark modules on a light background. Do not place artwork over the pattern.

    Make a QR code
  3. Size it for the card

    Give the code enough room on the 3.5 × 2 in card or move to the square shape. A longer address makes a denser code, so shorten the link if you can.

  4. Test the printed size

    Print the card at 100 percent on plain paper and scan it with several phones in the light where people will use it. Open the result and complete the action, then order.

Good to know

How big should the QR code be on the card?

Bigger scans more easily. Plan for at least about 0.8 in across for a short link, and larger for a long address, which makes a denser code. Test at actual size, because a code that scans on a monitor can still fail on paper.

Where do I make the QR code?

Our QR code generator makes a static code for a web address and lets you download it as an SVG for a design app, or you can add a code while designing in the Studio. Keep the white border that comes with it.

Does a glossy card make the code harder to scan?

It can, under a direct light that reflects into the camera. Matte and uncoated papers avoid that glare, which makes them a steadier choice for menus and dim rooms.

Should the code link to my home page?

Usually not. Send the scan to the one page that matches why you hand out the card: the booking page, the menu, the portfolio piece or a contact file.

What if someone cannot scan it?

Always print a short web address or a phone number as text next to the code. The card should still work for someone with a cracked camera or no signal.
