What is a QR Code?
A QR (Quick Response) code is a two-dimensional barcode that smartphones and tablets can scan to instantly open a URL, send an email, dial a phone number, or connect to a WiFi network. QR codes can store significantly more information than traditional barcodes and are readable from any angle.

Tips
QR Code Best Practices
- Test before printing — always scan your QR code with a phone before using it in print.
- Minimum print size — print QR codes at least 2×2 cm (0.8 inches) for reliable scanning.
- High contrast — keep dark QR modules on a light background for best scan rates. Avoid low-contrast colour combinations.
- Use short URLs — shorter URLs create simpler, less dense QR codes that scan faster.
- Download at full size — download the largest size available for print use; scale down for screen.
