Vistaprint Alternative
Vistaprint prints cards. We print cards that keep working.
Vistaprint is great for cheap bulk printing. But their cards are static — once printed, the info never changes. QR Business Cards adds a live digital profile that you can update forever.
Vistaprint
Vistaprint is the largest business card printer in the world. They offer volume discounts starting as low as $15 for 250 basic cards. But their cards are traditional: static text, static design. If your phone number changes, you reorder. You can add a QR code in their designer, but it links to a static URL you manage yourself.
QR Business Cards
QR Business Cards costs more per card but delivers more value. Every card has a QR code linking to a professional digital profile with your photo, bio, social links, and contact info. Update your profile anytime — the printed cards keep working. No design skills needed; we generate the card from your profile.
