QR code basics.
If you are just starting out with how to print QR codes on labels and stickers for your products, it is a good idea to adhere to a couple of basics.
- Make sure your QR Code is positioned in a place on your label that is easy to see and, most importantly, easy to scan. Also, if you are placing a QR code on a curved surface, you'll want to make sure that the QR code is not too large so that scanning is not affected by the curvature.
- Don't assume everyone knows what a QR code is and how it works. Include simple instructions near the code to guide people on how to scan it. Something as simple as the line “Scan the QR code with your smartphone for instructional video” can have a dramatic impact of your scan metrics.
- Consider creating an incentive for people to scan your QR code, an offer or promotion. Even if you don't have a promotion to offer, you can still extoll the benefits of visiting your website as an incentive to scan.
