Business Card QR Code: Get Saved in Contacts Instantly

vCard or link: which to choose

• vCard: the contact is saved directly, even offline, but it cannot be changed after printing.
• Website link: points to a profile page you can update, but needs internet and an extra tap to save.
• For most cards, a compact vCard with name, mobile, email, company and website is the practical choice.
• A LinkedIn profile code suits networking events where people connect online anyway.

Fitting a QR code on a small card

A standard card is about 85 by 55 mm, so space is tight. A vCard with five or six fields still scans well at about 2 to 2.5 cm wide if you keep the quiet zone clear. Drop the postal address and notes if the code looks too dense. Place it on the back with a short line such as Scan to save contact, and keep the most important details printed as text on the front.

Print-ready files

Export as SVG or PDF and send the vector file to your designer or print shop; vector files stay sharp at any resolution, unlike a screenshot. If you use brand colours, keep the code clearly darker than the card stock. Gold foil, embossing and spot UV look elegant but can reflect light, so ask for a proof and scan it before the full run.

How to make it

1. Open Create and choose Contact (vCard).
2. Enter the details you want on the card and keep optional fields to a minimum.
3. Match the colours to your card design and confirm the scan test passes.
4. Export SVG or PDF and place the code on your card layout at 2 cm or more.
