Configure & Order ↑Telling customers to follow you verbally loses them at the door. Social cards print your @handle, platform icons, and scannable QR on the business cards calculator at 2.5x2.5 Square or 3.5x2 Standard, Paper / Material 16pt Matte / Silk or 16pt Gloss Cover, Single or Double-Sided, qty 100 through 5,000, with Free Design Setup and QR legibility proof in the calculator above.
Upload print-ready PDF with QR vector or high-res raster at final size, or send @handles and profile URLs for Free Design Setup. We confirm QR quiet zone, handle type size, and platform icon alignment on the proof before cards trim and pack.
Guide to square and standard sizes, 16pt stocks, QR layout, counter programs, FAQ. Pick Size, upload QR art, approve proof.

Size dropdown on business cards calculator.
2.5x2.5 Square fits bowl caddies, register trays, and event badge clips where a full wallet card feels oversized. 3.5x2 Standard matches classic business card proportions with room for QR, @handle, and a one-line CTA on one face. 2.75x1.18 Mini and 3.5x2 Round Corners remain available when noted in comments.
Pick trim before you set QR size. Note square social card or standard handle card intent in special instructions so prepress scales QR quiet zone correctly on the proof.

Paper / Material dropdown.
16pt Matte / Silk reduces glare under cafe and salon lighting so phone cameras scan QR codes faster than gloss under harsh spots. 16pt Gloss Cover adds punch for photo-forward influencer cards and nightlife venue handouts. 14pt Uncoated, 18pt Soft-Touch, and 32pt Painted Edge remain in the calculator for premium programs.
Matte is the default recommendation when QR scan rate matters more than shelf shine. We note stock choice on the proof.

Scan reliability on proof.
QR codes need a quiet zone equal to four modules clear on all sides with no logos or tint bleeding into the border. @handle type should read at 10 pt minimum after proof scaling on 3.5x2 and 9 pt on 2.5x2 square. Platform icons sit secondary to the handle line so guests know which app to open.
Free Design Setup builds QR from your profile URL and places @handles when you send links in comments.

Who orders social cards.
Coffee counters, nail salons, food trucks, and boutique retail reorder social cards because a card by the register outlasts a paper sign taped to the POS. Creators and musicians hand square cards at merch tables with QR to Linktree or Spotify. Real estate teams pair @handle cards with listing QR stubs on double-sided layouts.
Qty 250 is common once QR size and handle copy are approved on proof for multi-location social follow programs.
Standard 3-5 days after approval.
Production starts after written proof approval confirming Size, Material, QR quiet zone, and double-sided registration when selected. Standard runs 3 to 5 business days after approval. Rush 2 to 3 business days and Next-Day tiers appear in the calculator when eligible.
Social cards ship in shrink-wrapped stacks or banded cartons depending on qty. Reorder handle updates through comments referencing your prior order number.
Send a logo, sketch, or bullet points. We handle layout, contrast, bleed, and file conversion at no extra setup fee. You approve a digital proof before production.

Pick Size 2.5x2.5 Square or 3.5x2 Standard, Paper / Material 16pt Matte / Silk or 16pt Gloss Cover, Printed Sides, and qty in the calculator above. Upload print-ready PDF with QR vector, or send @handles and profile URLs for Free Design Setup. We email a proof showing QR quiet zone and handle type before print.
Calculator Size options are 3.5x2 Standard, 2.75x1.18 Mini, 2.5x2.5 Square, 3.5x2 Round Corners, and Custom Die Cut Shape. Social card programs most often use 2.5x2.5 Square for counter caddies or 3.5x2 Standard for wallet-friendly handle cards. We confirm final trim and QR scale on the proof.
Paper / Material lists 14pt Uncoated, 16pt Gloss Cover, 16pt Matte / Silk, 18pt Soft-Touch (Premium), and 32pt Painted Edge (Luxury). Social cards with QR codes most often use 16pt Matte for scan reliability or 16pt Gloss for photo-forward designs. Stock choice shows live in calculator total.
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval. Rush 2 to 3 business days and Next-Day tiers appear in the calculator when eligible for your qty and specs. Approval day is not day one. Add carrier transit for total delivery time.

Add 0.125 inch bleed past trim on full-bleed art. Keep @handle type and QR quiet zone at least 0.125 inch inside trim safe line. QR needs four-module quiet border clear of logos and tint. We flag cramped QR and undersized handles on the proof.
Small businesses ask whether matte or gloss scans better, which size fits register trays, and whether double-sided QR plus handle is worth the cost. We recommend 16pt Matte for scan reliability, 2.5x2.5 for caddies, and double-sided when back panel carries a second platform URL.
First-time buyers export tiny QR rasters that fail phone scans, place logos inside QR quiet zone, or use 8 pt @handles on 2.5x2.5 cards. Upload vector QR or send profile URL for Free Design Setup. We catch quiet zone violations on the proof.
Start with 2.5x2.5 Square, 16pt Matte / Silk, Single-Sided, Standard turnaround, qty 100 for a counter caddy pilot. Move to Double-Sided at 250 when you add a second platform handle on the back. Gloss upgrade suits photo-heavy creator cards after scan test on matte proof.
