With so many ways people discover and follow businesses today, I needed a simple way to <strong>create a QR code for a business card<\/strong>. I chose to add a QR code because it gives people a quick way to connect without overwhelming the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, I\u2019ll show you how I add a QR code to a business card using <strong>Avery Design and Print Online<\/strong>.  Avery\u2019s free design tool for labels, cards, and more has a QR code generator built right in, so you don&#8217;t have to juggle tools. You can quickly and easily create and place your code in one smooth workflow. I\u2019ll also share a few practical tips to help make sure it scans cleanly once it\u2019s printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-how-to-add-a-qr-code-to-a-business-card\">Watch how to add a QR code to a business card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like seeing the process in action, the video below walks through how to add QR codes and barcodes inside the Avery design tool. It shows what the steps look like inside the design tool, which can be helpful if you\u2019re more of a visual or hands-on learner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch it now or follow along with <a href=\"#h-how-to-create-a-qr-code-business-card-for-free-step-by-step\">the written steps below<\/a>\u2014I\u2019ll break everything down either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Add QR and Barcodes with Avery Design and Print Online\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Huzj5wjDsdc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-need-a-business-card-qr-code-generator\">Do you need a business card QR code generator?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Years ago, when I first started looking for business card QR code generators, I quickly grew tired of using extra tools. Bouncing back and forth between apps to create and download a code\u2014just to upload it somewhere else and start designing\u2014was frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still doing that bounce-and-struggle, I can happily assure you there\u2019s no need to make a full QR code before you can start designing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/software\/design-and-print\/business-card-maker\/\">Avery business card maker<\/a> has a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/software\/barcode-generator\/\">built-in QR code generator<\/a><\/strong>, so you can create and add a QR code while you design your business card\u2014<strong>no additional app or add-on required<\/strong>. One of the fastest ways to get started is by browsing business card designs in the Shop by Design experience. When you choose a design you like, it opens directly in Design and Print Online, ready to customize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, you can add your QR code in just a few clicks, adjust placement, and keep designing. There\u2019s no extra step to install or enable a separate QR code tool\u2014you\u2019re jumping straight into the creative part with everything you need <strong>already available inside the design tool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it easy to create a QR code for a business card, all in one place and free to use, whether you plan to print at home or order custom-printed cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/templates\/designs\/cards\/business\">Start with a Business Card Design<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-you-need-to-get-started\">What you need to get started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you add a QR code to your business card, it helps to have a few basics ready. You don\u2019t need much, and one of the things I appreciate most is being able to design once and print in different ways. When needs change, it feels so good to be ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I usually order custom-printed business cards for my whole team. But I always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/help\/article\/sharing-an-avery-file-by-email\">share the design file by email<\/a> as well. That way, if someone runs out right before an event, they can print a few cards at home in a pinch. Having both options available makes it much easier to scale up\u2014or adapt quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A business card design or template<\/strong><br>You can start with a blank template, choose a predesigned option, or upload a complete design you created in another tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The link you want your QR code to open<\/strong><br>This might be your website, online shop, menu, Instagram profile, or booking page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A printing plan (with flexibility)<\/strong><br>Decide whether you want to print your business cards at home, order them custom printed, or do both depending on timing and quantity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have these ready, you can jump right into adding your QR code and customizing your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"\/products\/cards\/type\/business-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop All Printable Business Cards<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"\/custom-printing\/cards\/business-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Order Custom-Printed Business Cards<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-create-a-qr-code-business-card-for-free-step-by-step\">How to create a QR code business card for free (step-by-step)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your design and link are ready, adding a QR code to your business card is quick. In my case, I\u2019m starting with a business card design I created elsewhere and uploaded into the Avery design tool. You can follow along whether you\u2019re using a blank template, a predesigned option, or your own uploaded design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll show you the exact steps I use to add a QR code, place it correctly, and get the card ready for printing\u2014without needing a separate QR code generator or extra setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re uploading a business card design from Canva, download it as a <strong>PDF for printing<\/strong> and choose <strong>CMYK colors<\/strong>. Canva designs are often created with digital sharing in mind, so switching to print-ready settings helps ensure colors print more accurately.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-public-id=\"web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_1024,h_1024,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"QR code and barcode setup window in the Avery editor with \u2018Enter manually\u2019 selected and the Next button highlighted.\" class=\"wp-post-22479 wp-image-27829 size-full\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1769214911\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_1024,h_1024,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 2560w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_2048,h_2048,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 2048w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_1848,h_1848,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 1848w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_1648,h_1648,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 1648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_1448,h_1448,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 1448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_1248,h_1248,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 1248w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_1048,h_1048,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 1048w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_848,h_848,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 848w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_648,h_648,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 648w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_448,h_448,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/avery-products-corp\/images\/w_248,h_248,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1769214911\/web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0002_Step2-1.jpg?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-open-the-built-in-qr-code-tool\">1) Open the built-in QR code tool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the QR code tool in the main editing menu on the left side of the Avery editor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have your business card design open inside the Avery editor, the main editing tools appear along the left-hand side of the screen.

This lets you generate the code and place it directly onto your card design without using a separate app or website.<br\/><br\/>Once the QR code is added, you can resize it, adjust placement, and preview the final design before printing.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767837174773\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I create a QR code for a business card for free?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/software\/design-and-print\/business-card-maker\/\">Avery business card maker<\/a>, you can create and add a QR code to a business card for free while you design. There\u2019s no need to pay for a separate QR code generator or switch apps just to create the code.<br\/><br\/>You only pay if you choose to order custom-printed business cards. If you\u2019re printing at home, you can download your design and print without additional cost.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767837199447\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How small can a QR code be on a business card?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Technically, a QR code can be as small as about 0.8 \u00d7 0.8 inches (2 \u00d7 2 cm). However, for reliable scanning, it\u2019s best to keep QR codes at <strong>1 \u00d7 1 inch or larger<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767837205054\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should the QR code go on the front or back?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">There\u2019s no single right answer\u2014it depends on your design and how much information you\u2019re including. Many people place the QR code on the back to keep the front clean and focused.<br\/>If you place it on the front, make sure it doesn\u2019t compete with your name, logo, or primary contact details.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767837215130\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should a QR code link to on a business card?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A QR code can link to almost any digital destination, such as your website, online shop, booking page, or social media profile. The best choice depends on what you want someone to do next after they scan.<br\/><br\/>If you\u2019re new to QR codes, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/what-is-a-qr-code\/\"><strong>learn more about what QR codes are and how to use them for your business<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY4MyI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"Stack of QR code business cards next to a smartphone, showing a QR code on the card and a linked small business website open on the phone after scanning.\" class=\"wp-post-22479 wp-image-27836\" data-public-id=\"web\/blog\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0012\/1793123288_2026-02_Blog_Create-QR-Code-for-Business-Card_Article_0012.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1769214920\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" data-size=\"1024 683\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-qr-code-business-cards-are-ready-to-go\">Your QR code business cards are ready to go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that I\u2019ve tackled new business cards, I\u2019m reminded of how far we\u2019ve come over the past several years.
