Yes. A QR code can be printed on a name badge to link to a digital vCard contact card, a booking or scheduling page, a LinkedIn or company profile, a website, or a lead-capture form. NameBadge.com prints scannable QR codes in full color on its Mimaki UV flatbed presses.

How big should a QR code be on a badge?

Print a QR code at least 0.8 x 0.8 inches (about 20 mm) so phone cameras read it comfortably, and keep a quiet margin of clear space around all four sides. Use high contrast, ideally a dark code on a light background, and test the printed code before ordering in volume.

What do people use QR badges for?

At trade shows and conferences, a QR badge lets a new contact save your details instantly. Sales and service teams link to reviews, catalogs, portfolios, or payment pages for touchless networking, and a QR code carries extra information without crowding the printed name.

NameBadge.com prints QR-enabled custom name tags in-house in the USA.
