Top ways to incorporate QR codes on packaging

QR codes are no longer plain or dull. You can now customize them with your branding and creative tools. To make your promotional stickers and product labels more effective, ensure they grab the attention of both existing and potential customers. Here’s a quick guide to some useful practices for designing standout qr codes.

Once you’ve customized the frame, shape, and color, you can add your company logo in the center. Our system automatically adjusts the logo size to ensure the QR code remains scannable

The last event by North City’s culture office for Book Day didn’t get the turnout they hoped for, even though posters were placed in stores months in advance. Many saw the posters, but few remembered the date. For future events, they added our event QR code to their posters. This allowed people to scan the code, save the event to their calendar, and use the Google Maps link to find the venue easily.

The fictional company Always Together added a link listing QR code to its posters, allowing people to follow them on social media and stay updated on future events. This makes it easy for users to buy tickets early, RSVP, and save event dates to their calendars. With our dynamic QR code tracking, Always Together can also see how often each poster is scanned and get details like location, date, time, device, and operating system, helping them plan their marketing more effectively.

Yes, QR codes can be photocopied. Once you've created and downloaded your code, you can print or copy it as many times as you like, even in creative ways. Just make sure the copy is clear and good quality so it can be scanned properly.

There’s no exact size for QR codes on printed materials, but some basic guidelines help. The smallest recommended size for a QR code is 2 x 2 cm, so it's easy to see and scan.

Just make sure the QR code size fits the poster and is big enough to be seen from a distance.
