How this works

The holographic strip on the front is a single absolutely-positioned 4px-wide div with a vertical linear-gradient cycling through teal, violet, and pink stops — mimicking the iridescent edge found on physical NFC business cards. Positioned at right:60px so it reads as an accent rather than a divider.

The QR code on the back is a hand-crafted inline SVG using 1x1 unit <rect> elements on a 21-unit grid — the minimum for a valid QR v1 — with the three alignment squares in the corners using nested <rect> with fill="none" stroke="black" outlines, matching the ISO QR code structure.

Make it yours

  • Animate the holographic strip colours using a @keyframes that cycles the gradient hue stops through 360 degrees for a realistic foil shimmer.
  • Replace the SVG QR code with a real scannable code by using a client-side QR library such as qrcode.js to generate the SVG from a vCard URL.
  • Add NFC-tap animation feedback by toggling a brief scale(1.02) pulse on the card when a Web NFC NDEFReader write succeeds.
  • Change the landscape orientation to portrait by swapping card dimensions to 220px x 360px and reflowing the interior flex to column.
  • Use CSS @media print to render the card at exactly 85.6mm x 54mm (ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1) for physical print output.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • A real QR code requires exact module placement — the decorative SVG here is not scannable; use a QR generation library for any production link-sharing use case.
  • The holographic strip gradient uses opaque colours — add mix-blend-mode:overlay on a white background to achieve a true iridescent foil look.
  • Landscape card orientation can feel narrow on mobile viewports — add a max-width:100% and reduce padding via clamp() for sub-400px screens.
