Print your card
Business cards with your Kard's QR code on them: 10 to a sheet for your own printer, or a PDF for any print shop. Free.
Paper still changes hands. Your Kard makes a business card to print: your name, job title, company and photo on the front with how to reach you, and your Kard's QR code on the back. The code opens your Kard as it is the day it's scanned, so a new number or job title reaches people without a reprint. Free on every plan.
Make it
- Open Kards, pick a card, and on the Share tab, under "Printable card", press "Make my printable card".
- Under "Print on", choose where it'll be printed (the table below).
- Under "Sides", keep "Two-sided" for you on the front and the code on the back, or pick "One-sided" to have both side by side, for a printer that prints one side of the paper.
- Check the preview, then press "Download PDF".
| Print on | What you get |
|---|---|
| A4 sheet | 10 cards of 85 × 55 mm on each A4 sheet, with crop marks to cut on. |
| Letter sheet | 10 cards of 3.5 × 2 in on each Letter sheet, laid out like standard 10-up perforated card sheets. |
| Print shop, 85 × 55 mm | Each side on its own page, with 3 mm of bleed and every word inside the safe area. |
| Print shop, 3.5 × 2 in | The same, with 1/8 in of bleed. |
The QR code is the one your QR studio saved, as it looks on your Share tab; change its look there (Your QR code). The words and the photo come from Edit Kard.
Print it
- On your own printer: in the print dialog choose "Actual size" (or 100%), not "Fit to page", or the cards come out the wrong size and miss the marks. For two sides, "Print on both sides" and "Flip on long edge"; try a plain sheet first and hold it to the light. Card stock of 250 to 350 g/m² (about 90 to 130 lb cover) feels like a business card. Cut along the lines the marks point to.
- At a print shop: upload the print-shop PDF to its site, or send it, and order as many as you like. If they ask, the card is the trim size, the bleed is around it, and the colours are RGB.
The whole team at once
An admin prints everyone's cards in one PDF: on the team's page, press "Print cards". The same choices apply, and on a sheet, "How many of each" gives "A sheet each" (10 cards for every person) or "One each" (10 people to a sheet). Under "Kards to print", everyone is ticked; untick anyone who doesn't need cards. A bigger team prints in runs: one PDF holds 50 people's cards, and the page says so. Kards nobody has opened yet have their QR codes drawn first, a few seconds each; the page updates by itself.
The card prints Latin, Greek and Cyrillic, the scripts of India's languages, Arabic and Hebrew (right to left), Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and more. If your Kard uses letters the print fonts don't have, the page says which and asks you to change them in Edit Kard. Emoji stay off paper.
