What is the difference between NFC and QR code?

With NFC you hold your smartphone close, with a QR code you scan it.

The difference between NFC and QR code lies in the gesture that opens the profile: NFC is read by proximity from a chip in the card, while a QR code is read with the camera from a printed code or one shown on a screen. Both lead to the same personalised page and neither requires an app.

A QR code has a practical advantage: it can go anywhere, even where there is no physical object to hold your phone against. NFC is quicker and more direct when you meet in person. If your company is in Como or Brianza, you can talk to our team in Cantù to choose the most suitable entry point.

Two entry points, one page

Whether you start from the chip or from the code, people reach your profile hosted on your company's domain.

How to choose

Which one suits you

The answer depends on where you hand over your contact details: meetings, calls, emails or printed materials. Often the best solution is to use them together. If you need a profile page consistent with the rest of your online presence, it all starts from your bespoke website. We work for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.

It makes sense to combine NFC and QR code because they cover different situations: the quick gesture at in-person meetings and camera scanning when the contact comes from a screen or a sheet of paper. The profile stays the same and is updated without reprinting, including for companies in Como, Milan and Lugano.

A digital business card can replace paper in most cases, but it depends on your sector and on who you meet. The main advantage is updating your details just once, with no reprinting and less paper waste. If your company is in Cantù, Como or Brianza, we assess how to introduce it together.

A printed business card is still useful at formal meetings, with contacts who prefer paper or when you want to leave something tangible. For companies in Como and Brianza we pair it with NFC or a QR code, so the details are updated without reprinting.

No: you don't need any app to read an NFC business card. Just hold your smartphone close or scan the QR code with the camera: the page opens on your company's domain. We make them in Cantù for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.

At the stand you can use NFC and QR code together: the card for direct contacts, the QR code on a banner or monitor for those who scan from a distance. Both lead to the same profile page on your company's domain, including for stands of companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
