What size should a QR code be on a business card?

The minimum recommended size is 2.5cm x 2.5cm (about 1 inch square) for reliable scanning. Standard business cards have plenty of space for this. Ensure adequate quiet zone (white space) around the code — at least 3mm on each side. Test with multiple phone cameras before ordering your print run.

Should I put the QR code on the front or back of my business card?

The back is most common and works well if the front contains your essential contact details. However, if the QR code is your primary CTA (e.g., 'Scan to Book a Meeting'), placing it on the front can increase scan rates. The key is having a clear call-to-action regardless of placement.

What should my business card QR code link to?

Link to a mobile-optimized digital profile — not your full website. Include your name, title, contact details, photo, social links, and a primary CTA (book meeting, view portfolio, etc.). Dynamic QR codes let you update this content as your role or information changes.

How many people actually scan business card QR codes?

Scan rates vary by industry and context, but business cards with clear calls-to-action and branded QR codes see 20-35% scan rates within the first week of exchange. This is significantly higher than website visit rates from traditional business cards, where follow-through drops to under 10%.
