QR-linked postcards

A photo postcard with a QR code for the part that does not fit in print.

A physical postcard has limited room. Vantage uses an optional QR-linked preview so the sender can keep the printed card simple while adding a digital caption, original image access, or protected memory page online.

The QR code is printed on the physical postcard back.
The linked digital preview can include extra caption context.
Access-code protection is available for private memories.
Protected digital postcards are kept out of public search indexing.

How the QR postcard works

When the sender includes a QR preview, Vantage places a QR code on the postcard back. Scanning it opens the digital postcard page associated with that mailed card.

The digital page can carry context that would clutter the printed note: a longer caption, the original image, delivery-related context, or a reply path.

Privacy and indexing

A QR-linked postcard does not have to be public. Senders can protect the memory with an access code, and protected pages are marked so they stay out of public search indexing.

Unprotected public postcard pages can be discoverable when the sender chooses a public memory. The public/private choice belongs to the sender.

Why QR works better than a long printed link

Postcards are read in kitchens, offices, dorm rooms, and hallways. A QR code is easier to scan than a long URL and leaves more room for the personal note.

The printed card remains the main keepsake. The digital layer is there for context, not as a replacement for the physical postcard.

Questions about Vantage postcards

Is the QR code required?

No. It is an optional Vantage feature for senders who want a digital preview connected to the physical postcard.

Can the QR-linked page be private?

Yes. Vantage supports access-code protection for QR-linked memories.

Does the QR page replace the postcard?

No. The recipient still receives a physical postcard by mail. The QR page adds optional digital context.
