The paper stays, the details move
The QR points at your live profile rather than at a phone number. Change the number and every card you have ever handed out points at the new one. Nothing gets reprinted and nothing gets binned.
Printed business cards
The card you leave behind, pointing at details you can change.
Some people want something to put in a pocket, and a paper card is still the fastest thing to hand over across a table. The problem was never the paper. It was that the number printed on it stopped being your number.

Why this one
A card to leave behind rather than tap. Printed both sides with a QR, for the moments when somebody wants something to put in a pocket.
Every card in the run can be different
A pack does not have to be one design. Each card can carry its own name and its own code at no extra cost, which is what makes a box of them work for a team rather than for one person.
You find out whether they were used
Each code has its own history, so a box handed out at one show and a box left on a counter are two different numbers rather than one guess.

What happens if you ask
Five steps, and you can stop at any of them
Design it, or do not
Make it in the Design Studio, send us artwork, or let us set it from the profile you already have. None of the three costs anything and none of them commits you.
Tell us what you need
Size, quantity, and where it is going. About a minute. Those three are what a price depends on, which is why the form asks for them rather than for a paragraph.
A person prices it
By hand, not by calculator, with the delivery inside the number rather than added later. You get a link to the quote with the specification on it.
You accept it, or you do not
The quote becomes an order when you accept and pay it, and not before. Nothing is made, and nothing is charged, while you are thinking about it.
It is made and sent
Made to order and delivered. The code on it stays yours: point it somewhere else next year and the thing you are holding carries on working.
Why order it here
Four things a printer cannot say
A person prices it
Not a calculator with a margin baked in. Sizes, quantities and finishes change the cost, so somebody looks at what you asked for.
Delivery is in the number
Quoted with the item rather than added at a checkout. The figure you accept is the figure you pay.
Nothing is made until you say so
A quote is an invitation to buy. It becomes an order when you accept and pay it, and not a moment earlier.
The code outlives the print
Point it at something else whenever you like. The printed thing does not have to be reprinted because a number changed.
Where it goes
They go where a tap is awkward or unwelcome: across a counter, into a wallet at a trade counter, stapled to a quote, dropped through a door. They are also the cheapest way to put your profile into a lot of hands at once, which is the case a single NFC card cannot make.
What it is made of
- 85x55mm, 300gsm matt, printed CMYK.
- Every card in a pack may carry a different design at no extra cost.
What it is not
This is printed card stock, not an NFC card - there is no chip in it, and it is scanned rather than tapped. If you want the thing that works with a tap, that is the NFC card, and most people who buy these buy one of each: a card they carry and a box they give away.
The code behind it
Every one of these carries its own code, and the code points at a live profile rather than at a phone number. Change the profile and the printed thing stays correct; point the code somewhere else and it starts doing a different job without being reprinted. Each code keeps its own history, so a set of them tells you which one people used. More on that in how the codes work, and the whole range is on one page.
If it is for a stand or a show, the events page puts the staff cards, the table stand and the board together in one setup.
Questions people ask before they fill the form in
- Can every card in the pack be different?
- Yes, and it costs no more. Each card can carry its own name and its own code, which is what makes a box of them work for a team rather than for one person.
- What happens when my number changes?
- Nothing, to the cards. The QR points at your profile rather than at a number, so you change the profile once and every card already handed out points at the new details.
- Is there a chip in these?
- No. These are printed card stock and they are scanned, not tapped. The chip is in the NFC card, and most people who buy a pack of these also carry one of those.

Every scan, logged against the thing that carried it
