Digital vs paper business cards
Paper cards are cheap to print and easy to lose. Digital cards cost nothing to reprint and can be updated forever. Here is how the two actually compare in day-to-day use.

What changes when you switch
The strongest argument for digital is the follow-up. A paper card sits in a pocket until it is thrown out. A digital card gets saved into the phone's contacts in one tap, with your links attached.
The strongest argument for paper is the moment of handover. You do not have to give it up — print your QR code on the card you already use, and the paper becomes a doorway to your live page.
That hybrid approach is what most OnePageMe users land on: keep the card, add the code, and stop reprinting when something changes.
- Cost: reprinting paper vs updating a page for free
- Follow-up: a tap to save contacts vs manual typing
- Accuracy: details that stay current automatically
- Reach: one QR code works on cards, screens and signage
Frequently asked questions
Should I stop printing business cards?
Not necessarily. Many people print a minimal card with a QR code that opens their digital page, getting the handover ritual and the live details.
Do older contacts struggle with QR codes?
Modern phone cameras scan QR codes natively with no app, and you can always share the plain link instead.
