What is a QR code business card?

A QR code is small square barcode-looking code that can be scanned by mobile devices to produce certain information or data. QR stands for “quick response,” and Denso Wave originally developed the code in 1994. QR codes were created to read both vertically and horizontally unlike barcodes, which can only read horizontally. Barcodes hold significantly less information than QR codes, which have many features that barcodes do not. Some of the features of a QR code are:

High data capacity (up to 8,000 characters)
Prints out smaller than a barcode
Resistant to dirt, damage and scratches due to error correction capabilities
Can be read or scanned from any direction in 360°
Multiple codes can be stored in one QR code and will read the same way
