QR Codes on Plastic Cards

Add a QR code to your plastic cards

QR codes are an optional extra on our plastic business cards. This page covers how they work; the main page has specifications, prices and ordering.

qr codes

Use: Most people include a website within the QR code so that when scanned the user is taken to the required website. Alternatively it can include, for example, an email address or telephone number. 

Positioning: The QR code can be positioned anywhere.

Size: The QR code has to be square. We recommend a minimum size of 15mm.

Content: You can have numbers and / or letters.

We can print a different QR code on each card.

For example you may require a different number within each QR code (sequential or otherwise).

Or you may require a different website URL address within each QR code.

Just supply the relevant information within an Excel document.

Top Tip: If you want the same QR code on each card and include this as part of your artwork, there is no additional cost. Putting one on a business card? Business cards with QR codes covers what it should open, where it goes and how to test it.

Scanning passes at a gate? Our guide to QR codes and barcodes on event passes covers what to ask your scanning provider and how to test real passes first.

Make your QR code: Our free QR code generator makes one for a website, contact details, Wi-Fi and more, with your own colours and logo. Download the PDF or EPS and put it in your artwork.

Note:
Some customers experience difficulty in scanning QR codes with their smart phones, possibly due to some smart phones having low quality cameras which may also have a fixed focus lens (this means the phone's camera is unable to focus on images very close to the lens).
Unfortunately, due to the different capabilities of mobile phones we are unable to check that the QR code scans and suggest that email proofs are printed actual size for checking and in addition the postal proof is fully tested.
