What is a QR code?
Let’s start from the beginning: 'QR code' stands for 'Quick Response code'.
It is a 2 dimensional barcode that can contain a lot of information – up to 3KBs – making these codes more useful than traditional barcodes.
Why do you want a QR code on your business card?
Here are the important reasons why you should design your metal business card with a QR code:
- You are instantly enhancing the effectiveness of your business cards by allowing prospects, clients or colleagues to add your contact and business information to their device. All they need to do is scan your QR code with their smartphone and the business information is right there!
- Information such as opening hours, website, address, GPS directions, review pages and/or future directions can all be stored in the QR code and can easily be shared with others.
- Share your social media information with ease by including such information in your QR code. This is a very effective way of allowing your contacts to get in touch with you, easily and simply, by giving them access to all your social media accounts through the use of a simple to scan QR code.
- You can also store samples of your artwork, music, designs, blogs, YouTube videos, written work etc. in your QR code and easily share it with prospects or clients.
How do you create a QR code?
It's very easy and quick to make a QR code.
Here are the steps:
- Go to a QR code generator. Just google that term and a bunch will appear. Pick one you like the look and feel of.

- Customise the QR code appearance:

- Check and scan your QR code to make sure it is working correctly.
- Download the QR Code as a vector file (preferably SVG).
