How to Add a QR Code to a Business Card

Use QR codes on business cards to share contact details, portfolios, booking pages, and WhatsApp links.

Choose the destination

For direct contact saving, use a vCard QR. For sales conversations, use WhatsApp QR. For a portfolio, use a URL QR.

Keep the design readable

Avoid placing the QR too close to the card edge. Use high contrast and enough white space.

Add a clear label

Small text like “Scan to save my contact” tells people what will happen.

Test the final proof

Scan the QR from a printed proof before approving the business card design.
