How a business card QR code works

A business card code made here holds a vCard 3.0 contact card, the format phone address books read. When someone scans it, the phone shows your name, company, number and email in a contact preview, and one tap adds it. Nothing has to load, so it works in a conference hall with poor reception, and your name is saved exactly as you spell it.

The alternative is a code that links to a profile, such as your website or LinkedIn page. A link can show more and its page can be updated without reprinting, but the person still has to save your number themselves. A contact code does the saving for them. Some people use both: the contact code on the back, and a short website address printed as text.

Every field you fill in is stored in the image, so the code grows with the information. A card with name, company, mobile, email and website stays compact; adding a full street address and a note makes the pattern denser and harder to read at business card size.

Where it helps

  • Networking events and trade fairs, where you hand out dozens of cards and want each one to end up in a phone rather than a drawer.
  • Freelancers and consultants who meet clients in person and want the right email and number saved, not guessed from a photo of the card.
  • A sales team's cards, where each person gets a code with their own direct line.
  • A reception card that saves the general office contact for visitors.

Tips before you print

  1. On a standard 85 × 55 mm (3.5 × 2 in) card, print the code at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide, with a clear margin around it. If it has the back to itself, 2.5 to 3 cm is more comfortable.
  2. Keep to the fields people need: name, company, mobile, email and website. Leave the address and note empty unless they matter.
  3. Write numbers with the country code, such as +1 415 555 2671, so they work for contacts abroad.
  4. The Batch page makes link and text codes, not contact cards. For a team, make each person's code on this page and save the SVG file for each card design.
  5. Scan a printed proof with an iPhone and an Android phone and check that name, number and email land in the right fields.

Questions

What happens when my number or job title changes?
The details are fixed inside the code. Make a new code and reprint the cards, as you would for the printed text.
Should I use a contact code or a link to my website?
A contact code saves your details directly and works offline. A link can lead to a page you update later. If your details rarely change, the contact code is the more useful choice on a card.
Can I add my logo?
Not to the contact itself, but you can place a small logo in the middle of the code under Style. Error correction is then raised to the maximum automatically, so the code still scans.
Can people edit the contact before saving it?
Yes. The phone shows a preview, and the person can review and change the details before adding them.
