Common Questions
How do I share my contact information?
LiNK gives you three fast, flexible ways to share your contact information with anyone, anywhere — no app required on either end.
First, every LiNK member receives a unique, secure digital business card with a personal URL you can share via text, email, social media, or any messaging platform. Anyone who clicks your link lands instantly on your full professional profile in their browser.
Second, your LiNK dashboard includes a unique QR code that displays on screen — ideal for in-person networking. Simply show your screen and let the other person scan. Your full profile, contact details, social links, and downloadable files are available to them immediately.
Third, if you have a LiNK Metal & Digital plan, your laser-engraved metal card includes your QR code printed directly on the card. Hand it to someone and they can scan it on the spot — or keep the card as a physical reminder to connect later.
Beyond those three primary methods, your LiNK QR code can be placed on paper business cards, brochures, email signatures, flyers, trade show materials, vehicle decals, and promotional items. Your QR code belongs to you for as long as you remain a LiNK member, so you can put it anywhere that makes sense for how you network.
What is a digital business card?
A digital business card is a modern, web-based alternative to traditional paper cards that lets you share your professional information instantly via a QR code or shareable link — no printing, no app download, and no information that goes out of date.
LiNK digital business cards go far beyond what a paper card can hold. Where a standard card gives you a name, title, and phone number, a LiNK profile includes 20+ contact details — your photo, company logo, job title, phone numbers, email addresses, physical address, website, social media profiles, uploaded files like your resume or portfolio, and a two-way Client Connect feature that lets the people you share with send their information back to you instantly.
Your LiNK digital business card is accessible on any smartphone, tablet, or desktop browser, making it the most versatile networking tool available to modern professionals. Because it lives online, you can update any detail at any time and everyone who has ever scanned your card will see your latest information the next time they visit your profile. No reprints, no wasted cards, and no missed connections because someone had an old number.
Are digital business cards better than paper?
Yes — and the difference goes beyond convenience. Paper business cards become outdated the moment your phone number, title, or email changes, forcing a reprint that costs time and money. They get lost, thrown away, and offer zero insight into whether anyone actually followed up. LiNK digital business cards solve every one of those problems. Your profile updates instantly with no reprinting, your QR code never expires, and your analytics dashboard shows you exactly who viewed your card, where they were located, and what they clicked. For professionals who network regularly, a digital business card doesn’t just replace paper — it turns every handshake into a measurable, trackable connection. LiNK plans start at $3 per month, which is less than a single box of paper cards that will be outdated in six months.
Can I use LiNK with my paper business card?
Yes. Your LiNK QR code is not limited to your metal card — you can print it on anything, including your existing paper business cards, and instantly add analytics, lead capture, and digital profile sharing to materials you already have. Simply download your unique LiNK QR code from your dashboard and add it to your paper cards, brochures, flyers, email signature, slide decks, trade show banners, or any other printed or digital material. Every scan from every surface feeds into your LiNK analytics dashboard, giving you real return on investment from networking materials you’re already using.
This means you don’t have to throw away your current paper cards to get started with LiNK. Add your QR code to your next print run and turn a static paper card into a dynamic, trackable networking tool. When prospects scan your code, they land on your full LiNK digital profile — with your contact details, social links, portfolio files, and a two-way Client Connect feature that lets them send their information back to you instantly.
For professionals who attend conferences, trade shows, or networking events, combining a paper card with a LiNK QR code is one of the fastest ways to start capturing leads and measuring which events are actually driving business.
What is the best digital business card for sales teams?
LiNK for Business is purpose-built for sales teams that need consistent branding, fast onboarding, and centralized management. Every team member gets their own branded digital business card that they can share instantly via QR code or shareable link — no app required for the rep or the prospect. Business account administrators can manage all team profiles from a single dashboard, update contact details, and monitor engagement analytics across the entire team. Unlike consumer-grade digital card platforms, LiNK Business Accounts include license management, activity tracking, and the ability to add or remove team members as your roster changes. For sales organizations that attend trade shows, conferences, or do regular field outreach, LiNK eliminates the reprint cycle entirely and gives managers visibility into which reps are generating the most card engagement.
What are the dimensions of LiNK Metal Business Cards?
LiNK Metal Business Cards are the same dimensions as a standard credit card — 3.375 inches wide by 2.125 inches tall (8.56 x 5.98 cm) — so they fit perfectly in any wallet, cardholder, or badge slot without modification.
In terms of thickness, LiNK Metal Cards are closer to the weight and feel of an American Express Platinum Card than a standard credit card, giving them the substantial, premium feel that makes an impression when you hand one over. The cards are precision-cut from aluminum, making them lightweight despite their solid feel, and finished with a sleek matte surface that photographs well and resists everyday wear.
Every LiNK Metal Card is laser-engraved in the USA with your custom design and QR code. Because the card links to your live digital profile, your physical card never becomes outdated — update your contact information, add new social links, or upload new documents anytime, and your card stays current without reprinting.
Do I need to download an app to share my LiNK Business Card?
No — and neither does the person you’re sharing with. LiNK is fully web-based, which means your digital business card opens instantly in any smartphone or desktop browser the moment someone scans your QR code or taps your shareable link. There’s nothing to download, no account required to view, and no compatibility issues across iOS and Android devices. This friction-free experience is one of LiNK’s most important advantages over app-dependent competitors. When you’re at a networking event, the last thing you want is for a prospect to abandon the exchange because they need to download an app first. With LiNK, one scan and your full professional profile — contact details, social links, documents, and portfolio — is right in their hands.
Can I order more than one metal business card?
Yes. You can order additional LiNK Metal Business Cards at any time from the LiNK Store, regardless of which plan you’re on. Simply select your preferred metal finish and card template, add your LiNK Dashboard URL during checkout, and your new card will be laser-engraved and shipped to you.
Every additional card you order links to the same digital profile as your original card, so there’s no need to manage separate profiles or QR codes. Any update you make to your LiNK profile — new phone number, updated title, added social links, uploaded files — is reflected instantly across every card you have in circulation.
Ordering additional cards is a smart move for professionals who network across multiple settings, want backup cards, or like to keep cards in several locations like a wallet, a laptop bag, and a desk drawer. Additional cards can be ordered directly from the LiNK Store.
Can I share my referral code with connections to earn rewards?
Yes. Every LiNK member is automatically enrolled in the LiNK Rewards Program, which lets you earn points every time someone purchases a LiNK plan using your unique referral URL.
To set up your referral link, navigate to your LiNK Profile, click on the Social Media section, scroll down to the LiNK Referral field, paste in your unique referral URL, and click Save Profile. Once it’s set up, your referral link is embedded directly in your digital business card — meaning every time you share your card, you’re automatically sharing your referral code without any extra steps.
Rewards points can be redeemed in the LiNK Store for additional LiNK Metal Business Cards, laser-engraved leather notebooks, and pen sets. Because your referral link lives on your digital business card, every networking conversation becomes a potential opportunity to earn. The more you share your card, the more opportunities you create — both for new connections and for rewards.
Does LiNK offer plans for Businesses?
Yes. LiNK for Business provides digital business card and contact sharing solutions for organizations of any size — from small teams to large enterprises — with centralized management, consistent branding, and administrative visibility across every member account.
Business account administrators can onboard team members, manage licenses, monitor card engagement analytics, and ensure brand consistency across the entire organization from a single dashboard. There are no printing costs, no reorder cycles, and no lag when employee information changes — updates made to any team member’s profile go live instantly across every card they’ve distributed.
LiNK Business Accounts are particularly well-suited for sales teams, real estate agencies, veteran service organizations, first responder agencies, and any organization where team members regularly network in person. Plans are flexible and scalable, so whether you’re managing five licenses or five hundred, LiNK can accommodate your team’s needs.
To get started, fill out the Business Contact Form and a member of the LiNK sales team will reach out to answer your questions, offer a demo, and build a solution that fits your organization.
How do I share my resume and portfolio on a business card?
With LiNK, your digital business card doubles as a complete professional portfolio. From your LiNK Profile Editor, you can upload your resume, portfolio samples, certifications, reference letters, product sheets, presentations, or any other document you want contacts to access — and everything becomes available to anyone who scans your QR code or opens your shareable link.
There’s no file request, no email follow-up, and no fumbling for a folder at a networking event. When a prospect or hiring manager scans your card, your full professional profile — including every document you’ve chosen to share — is right there in their browser on their phone.
This feature is widely used by job seekers who want to stand out at career fairs, real estate agents sharing property presentations, creative professionals displaying portfolio work, contractors sharing project photos, and sales reps distributing product literature. You control exactly which files are visible at any time, and you can update, swap, or remove documents instantly from your dashboard without changing your QR code or shareable link.

Is my personal information safe on a digital business card?
Yes — and with LiNK, your personal information is protected by multiple layers of security designed specifically for professionals who share sensitive contact details online.
LiNK uses field-level encryption to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) — any data that can be used to identify you, such as your phone number, email address, physical address, or financial details. In the LiNK Profile Editor, fields containing sensitive information are marked with a padlock icon, indicating that the data is encrypted at rest. Encryption converts your information into an unreadable format that cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties — meaning that even if data were intercepted, it would be completely unusable without the correct authorization key.
Beyond encryption, you are always in full control of what appears on your public-facing digital business card. LiNK’s privacy controls let you show or hide any field at any time, so you can tailor exactly what information is visible depending on your audience or setting. Heading to a public event? Turn off your personal phone number and show only your business email. Meeting a key client? Display your full profile. No reprinting, no new card — just a quick toggle in your dashboard.
LiNK is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business built on a foundation of trust, and protecting member data is a core part of that commitment. For complete details on how Centurion Creatives handles, stores, and protects your information, see the LiNK Privacy Policy.
How do I get started after purchasing a LiNK Plan?
Welcome to LiNK! After completing your purchase, the next step is to build your digital business card profile. Visit the Getting Started page for a complete step-by-step walkthrough, but here’s a quick overview of what to do first.
Log in to your LiNK dashboard and open the Profile Editor. Add your contact details, upload a professional photo and company logo, connect your social media profiles, and upload any files you want to share — resume, portfolio, certifications, or product materials. Take a few minutes to review your privacy settings and confirm which fields are visible on your public-facing card.
If you purchased a LiNK Metal & Digital plan, you’ll also complete your metal card design during this step — selecting your template, card finish, and confirming your engraving details. Metal cards ship within 2–7 business days after your design is finalized.
Once your profile is live, download your QR code from your dashboard and start adding it everywhere — your email signature, existing paper cards, social media profiles, and any print materials you use regularly. Every scan from every surface feeds directly into your LiNK analytics dashboard.
Can I have multiple LiNK cards attached to the same profile?
Yes. You can order as many LiNK Metal Business Cards as you need, and every card will link directly to the same digital profile. This is ideal for professionals who want cards in multiple locations — your wallet, your desk, your laptop bag, and your conference badge holder — or for situations where you want a backup card without managing separate profiles. All cards share the same unique QR code and shareable URL, so any update you make to your digital profile is reflected instantly across every card you’ve distributed, no matter how many you have in circulation. Additional LiNK Metal Cards can be ordered anytime from the LiNK Store.
Where are LiNK Cards made?
All LiNK Metal Business Cards are manufactured in the United States. Centurion Creatives is committed to domestic production and ethical sourcing — while some raw materials are sourced from international vendors, every supplier is vetted to confirm that materials are sourced legally and in accordance with ethical labor and environmental standards.
LiNK is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), certified through the U.S. Small Business Administration. Choosing LiNK means supporting a veteran-owned, USA-made product that reinvests in the American economy and the veteran community.
LiNK Metal Cards are precision-cut from aircraft-grade aluminum and laser-engraved with your custom design. The aluminum construction makes them lightweight enough for everyday carry while giving them the premium weight and feel that leaves a lasting impression — without the environmental cost of paper cards that end up in the trash.
What are the environmental impacts of Metal and Digital Business Cards vs. Paper Business Cards?
The environmental case for switching from paper to digital or metal business cards is significant. Approximately 10 billion paper business cards are printed globally every year, a production cycle that destroys over one million trees annually and generates hundreds of millions of pounds of CO2 emissions — the majority of which come from cards that are thrown away within a week of being received.
LiNK Digital Business Cards have the smallest environmental footprint of any business card format. They require no paper, no ink, no water-intensive manufacturing process, and no physical waste. A single LiNK Digital plan can replace thousands of paper cards over a professional’s career, eliminating the reprint cycle entirely. If every professional in the United States switched to digital business cards, the reduction in paper card production alone could save an estimated six million trees and 569 million pounds of CO2 emissions annually.
LiNK Metal Business Cards have a moderate environmental footprint — the initial production of an aluminum card requires more energy than printing a paper card — but because a single metal card replaces thousands of paper cards over its lifetime, the long-term environmental impact is far lower. Metal cards are also fully recyclable at end of life, unlike paper cards treated with coatings, laminates, or specialty inks.
For professionals and organizations that want to reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing the impression a physical card makes, LiNK Metal & Digital is the most sustainable choice in premium business cards.
