QR Code on Business Cards: vCard Guide With Size Tips
Add a vCard QR code to your business card so contacts save in one scan. What to include, minimum size, placement and print checks.
A QR code on your business card lets people save your details in one scan instead of typing them, and they rarely make it into a phone otherwise.
vCard or link?
A vCard QR code holds your contact record directly: name, phone, email, company, website. Scanning opens "Create contact" with everything filled in. A link QR code opens a web page (your profile or portfolio). For networking, vCard is faster; add your website inside it.
Keep it lean
Every field makes the code denser. Name, mobile, email, company, title and website are plenty. Skip the full postal address unless people need to visit.
Size and placement
- At least 20 × 20 mm on a standard 85 × 55 mm card.
- Keep a white margin around it; don't let it touch the card edge.
- Back of the card works well, with a short line: "Scan to save my contact".
Print check
Ask your printer for a proof and scan it with an iPhone and an Android phone. Uncoated or matte card stock scans best.
