19 Aug FAQs About Printing QR Codes
Using a QR code on your printed materials makes it easy for customers to get more information than what will fit on one piece of paper. A QR code is essentially the same as a barcode and can be scanned using the camera app on any smart phone. Here are answers to our FAQs about printing QR codes on your business materials:
How Do I Create a QR Code?
There are a variety of free and paid websites online with which you can create a QR code. If you have an in-house graphic designer or someone on staff who is tech savvy, it should only take them a matter of minutes to create a QR code.
What are QR Codes Used For?
QR codes are used on signs, flyers, pamphlets, and more. They allow you to direct your customers to a specific source on the web where they can get more information. Unlike printing a lengthy or confusing URL on your sign, which would take up room and be laborious for the customer to follow, using a QR code allows your customer to simply scan the code with their smart phone and immediately arrive at the assigned webpage. QR codes can be used to direct customers to your website, menu, list of services or prices, coupons, and more.
How Big Should the QR Code Be?
The QR code should be big enough that it is easily scanned by a smart phone app. Be sure to test your QR code before finalizing your design, to make sure it scans easily and directs customers where it should. The QR code should be placed at eye level for easy scanning.
What Colors Can I Use for a QR Code?
A well-designed QR code in appealing colors will be more noticeable to your customers and will be more likely to result in a scan with their smart phones. Use your company’s branding to choose colors, or just opt high contrast colors that are easily seen on printed materials.
