Static codes never expire and carry no watermark. Highest error-correction level (H) is always used so codes stay readable. Vector SVG, custom colours, transparent backgrounds and centre logos are included with Pro.
QR Code Generator for Business Cards
A business card QR code encodes your details as a vCard, so a scan opens a prefilled contact card the other person can save with one tap instead of retyping your email. It is the single highest-value thing you can add to a card, because it removes the step where your details get lost.
Keep the payload lean — name, title, company, one phone number, one email, one URL. Every extra field adds modules to the pattern, and a dense code printed at 15 mm on a card is exactly the code that fails to scan. Print at 20 mm or larger and leave a clear quiet zone around it.
- Business cards and name badges
- Email signatures
- Conference and trade show collateral

How to make a QR code for business cards
- 1
Decide between an embedded contact payload and a link to an online profile.
- 2
Keep the data short — long vCards make a dense pattern that struggles on a small card.
- 3
Generate the code and place it on the back of the card with a clear margin.
- 4
Download SVG so the printer gets crisp edges at 2 cm.
- 5
Scan a printed proof under office lighting, not just on screen.
Troubleshooting scan failures
The code is too dense to scan at card size
Replace the full vCard with a short link to a contact page.
Spot varnish or foil kills the scan
Ask the printer to keep finishes off the code area; reflective coatings scatter the camera's read.
Contact saves with missing fields
Field support varies by phone. Name, phone, email and URL are universally handled; exotic fields often are not.
Details changed after printing
Use a dynamic code or a hosted profile link so a job change does not invalidate the whole print run.
